    Leading a team of four PhDs and two undergraduates to conduct research in the areas of quantum information encoding and quantum communication protocols by harnessing time-frequency degree of freedom of entangled photons Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Network:▪ Built one of the first national QKD network on campus with hybrid quantum channel via fiber and free-space▪ Generated high dimension encryption keys by extracting more than 1000 qudits per photon detection▪ Designed and built end-to-end hardware for quantum key acquisition, processing, and distillation including time synchronization, high speed Time-to-Digital converter, and FPGA embedded software▪ Designing and deploying first QKD system that uses quantum authentication instead of classical authentication Quantum Physical Unclonable Functions (QPUF):▪ Created a provable un-hackable authentication and verification protocol applying above studies▪ Studied and examined the chaotic behavior of lithium niobate micro-cavity to serve as photonic PUFs▪ Designing and implementing experiment to demonstrate authentication process between two communication parties including constructing public PUFs database, characterizing joint intensity response of entangled photons after passing through PUFs, & data processing for authentication Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG):▪ Created the only RNG that provides both uniform & arbitrary probability RNs with more than 1000 qudits▪ Designed and implemented optic-table experiment to harvest QRNs by measuring the arrival time of single photons in shaped temporal modes that are tailored with an electro-optical modulator.▪ Examined QRNs against NIST and Dieharder randomness test suites which yielded high passing scores without any post-processing, indicating ultrahigh purity of RNs.▪ Built complete hardware necessary for a compact stand-alone QRNG prototype; created content and contributed in developing QRNG mobile app.
