Ulrik Lund Andersen is a leading researcher in quantum information technologies and quantum optics. He leads the quantum information group at the Center for Macroscopic Quantum States at the Technical University of Denmark. His work focuses on creations that enable quantum computers to perform calculations faster than conventional computers and developing quantum communication systems that guarantee unconditional security for information transfer. Andersen's research involves generating entangled optical states, exploring the unique properties defined by the principles of quantum mechanics, which are fundamental to various quantum protocols. He is pioneering efforts to create strong coupling between diamond nanocrystals and single photons, leading to significant non-linearities that are pivotal for the development of quantum gates. His accomplishments have earned him several prestigious awards and recognitions in the field of applied physics.
