Jiri Janousek

Dr. Jiri Janousek is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Australian National University (ANU) within the ANU College of Systems & Society, specifically contributing to the Quantum Imaging Group. He focuses on advancing quantum states of light in the spatial domain, particularly in generating squeezed and entangled states, optical detection techniques, and optomechanical systems. His work emphasizes novel methods for simultaneous spatial-mode squeezing and control of optical cavities.

He earned his PhD in 2008 from the Technical University of Denmark, where he researched nonclassical quantum states for ultra-sensitive measurements and solid-state lasers in the visible spectrum. His expertise spans optical parametric amplifiers, laser systems, and quantum imaging applications in biological contexts.

Research interests include quantum optics, optomechanics, and nonlinear optical systems, with emphasis on spatial-mode engineering and precision measurements. His contributions bridge theoretical and experimental quantum technologies, aiming to push the boundaries of quantum sensing and information processing.

Notable research areas include

• Generation of squeezed light in diverse cavity geometries
• Optomechanical control of thermal states
• Entanglement distillation protocols
• Quantum imaging within living cells
