SUMMARY:Extending the quantum domain with quantum optics \, R. G. Herb
  Condensed Matter Seminar\, Christoph Simon\, University of Calgary
DESCRIPTION:Quantum optical systems are well suited for pushing the bo
 undaries of quantum physics. Two big goals in this context are the cre
 ation of entanglement over long distances and the observation of quant
 um effects on macroscopic scales. I will describe various theoretical 
 and some experimental work in these directions. In particular I am pla
 nning to discuss quantum repeaters with multimode quantum memories\, t
 he potential for global entanglement using satellite links and repeate
 rs\, work towards the quantum non-demolition detection of photonic qub
 its in rare-earth doped crystals\, ideas on photon-photon gates based 
 on Rydberg states\, an experiment creating micro-macro entanglement of
  light\, and a proposal for spin cat states in Bose-Einstein condensat
 es.
