We are a group of theoretical physicists and chemists based at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), formerly known as the Steacie Institute for Molecular Sciences. The institute was named after Dr. E.W.R. Steacie, F.R.S. (1900-1962) who was President of NRC from 1952 to 1962; he introduced the Postdoctorate Fellowship scheme at NRC. Our research programs cover a wide range of topics within chemical physics, AMO physics, quantum information, and material sciences...
Multiparty entanglement is generally fragile and difficult to quantify. Dicke states are multiparty entangled states where a single excitation is delocalized over many systems. Building on previous work on quantum memories for photons, we create a Dicke state in a solid by storing a single photon in a crystal that contains many large atomic ensembles…...
