Toward error-free quantum target finding
Combining high-dimensional entanglement with sequential decisions can suppress target-finding errors while keeping energy use finite.

I study what quantum light can reveal.
I am a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto. My work uses mathematical and information-theoretic tools to understand how entanglement can improve sensing, imaging, and communication—especially when signals are weak, noisy, or lossy.
The question behind the work
Can quantum systems still offer an advantage in the real world?
Quantum effects are fragile. Light is absorbed, detectors see background noise, and idealized advantages can disappear once those constraints are included.
I develop theoretical models and protocols that ask exactly where quantum advantage survives—and how the structure of entanglement can make it more useful.
