Hello all. I did my Ph.D. in experimental quantum optics and quantum information at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Dr. Aephraim Steinberg. I did a post-doc in Ian Walmsley's group at the University of Oxford in quantum optics and quantum information in integrated optical circuits. Following that, I worked in standards and metrology at the National Research Council Canada. I am now an Associate Professor in Physics at the University of Ottawa.

Articles I initiated

• degree of coherence
• interferometric visibility
• acousto-optic modulator
• interferometric visibility
• Wigner quasi-probability distribution
• POVM
• Interaction-free measurement
• Massasauga Provincial Park
• List of types of interferometers

Articles I substantially changed

• spontaneous parametric down-conversion
• coherent state
• Brewster's angle
• coherence (physics)
• principle of minimum energy
• Optical activity

Articles I am changing here and there

• nonlinear optics
• Dispersion (optics)

Articles I want to edit

• Electric Field
• SPIDER
• Quantum optics # History of quantum optics
• Quantum chaos
• Integrated optical circuit

Tip of the day...

Editcountitis

Editcountitis, obsessive edit-counting disorder (OECD), is the mistaken belief that a Wikipedian's overall contribution level can be measured solely by their edit count. This is a phenomenon which some think may be harmful to processes such as requests for adminship, as well as to the Wikipedia community in itself.

The problems with using edit counts to measure relative level of experience are that it does not take into account a user's edit history prior to registering an account (posting anonymously), and that major and minor edits are counted equally, regardless of whether the edit is a typo fix or the creation of a full article. And edit counts give no consideration to the quality of the edits made.
