IEEE Toronto Section is happy to invite all section members and family to the 2024 spring social @ SPIN ping pong bar in downtown Toronto. No need to be a ping pong professional! We just want to meet IEEE Toronto members and any friends or family that you would like to bring. Please ensure you get your ticket(s) via (https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/ieee-toronto-social-at-spin-toronto-tickets-895666722277) Link for copy paste: (https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/ieee-toronto-social-at-spin-toronto-tickets-895666722277?aff=oddtdtcreator) Thank you for being an IEEE Toronto member, or a friend of a member. Each $20 ticket has been discounted by IEEE Toronto and will give you access to our private area with reserved ping pong tables, and snacks provided. One free premium drink ticket given per person ($16 value) with additional drinks available for purchase. Even if you've never touched a ping pong paddle, come meet other IEEE Toronto members and have some fun! 461 King Street West Lower Level, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5V 1K4

Abstract: Strongly-driven nonlinear optical processes such as spontaneous parametric down-conversion and spontaneous four-wave mixing can produce multiphoton nonclassical beams of light which have applications in quantum information processing and sensing. In contrast to the low-gain regime, new physical effects arise in a high-gain regime due to the interactions between the nonclassical light and the strong pump driving the nonlinear process. Here, we describe and experimentally observe a gain-dependent group delay between the multiphoton pulses generated in a high-gain type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion source. Since the group delay introduces distinguishability between the generated photons, it will be important to compensate for it when designing quantum interference devices in which strong optical nonlinearities are required. Joint work with Guillaume Thekkadath, Martin Houde, Duncan England and Ben Sussman.
