Nonlinear optics\, where strong\, deterministic interaction s couple optical signals together\, has long promised to bridge this divid e by performing computation directly in the optical domain.\n\nIn this tal k\, I will present recent work from our group toward enabling such technol ogies on two emerging platforms: thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) and 2D s emiconductors.\n\nFirst\, I will present a TFLN vertical-cavity architectu re for squeezed-light generation and parallel signal processing. I will th en introduce a low-temperature platform based on 2D transition metal dicha lcogenides\, in which quantum light is generated from a strongly interacti ng many-body ensemble of excitons.\n\nTogether\, these results illustrate how material development and engineered photonic environments can turn non linear and quantum optical phenomena into practical resources for the next generation of computing and communication hardware.\n\nRead More:\n[Desig n and function of a vertical micro-cavity optical parametric oscillator](h ttps://us.list-manage.com/OTJTMyHMUaq?e=5f7fff72ae&c2id=16adf1483f99c023fb 45a67f26000232)\n[Ultrafast optical gating in a nonlinear lithium niobate microcavity](https://us.list-manage.com/16YGiXLRq2t?e=5f7fff72ae&c2id=16ad f1483f99c023fb45a67f26000232)\n[Dipolar Interfacial Excitons in Lateral Se miconductor Heterostructures](https://us.list-manage.com/RC9JJH60vsf?e=5f7 fff72ae&c2id=16adf1483f99c023fb45a67f26000232)\n\nWatch:\n\nNTT Research L atest Videos / Thin Film Lithium Niobate\n\n[https://ntt-research.com/vide o-library/](https://www.ntt-research.com/)\n\nSpeaker:\n\nThibault Chervy\ n\nGroup Leader\, Research Scientist\n\nNTT RESEARCH\n\n[]\n\nAGENDA:\n\nT hursday May 21\, 2026\n\n11:30 AM: Networking\, Pizza & Drinks\n\nNoon -- 1 pm: Seminar\n\nPlease register on Eventbrite before 9:30 AM on Thursday May 21\, 2026\n\n$4 IEEE members $6 non IEEE members\n\n(discounts for une mployed and students )\n\nBldg: ==> Use corner entrance: Kifer Road / San Lucar Court ==> Do not enter at main entrance on Kifer Road\, EAG Labs\, 8 10 Kifer Road\, Sunnyvale\, California\, California\, United States\, 9505 1 LOCATION:Bldg: ==> Use corner entrance: Kifer Road / San Lucar Court ==> Do not enter at main entrance on Kifer Road\, EAG Labs\, 810 Kifer Road\, Su nnyvale\, California\, California\, United States\, 95051 ORGANIZER:G.M.Friedman@ieee.org SEQUENCE:85 SUMMARY:Towards Optical Computing and Quantum Light Generation in Lithium N iobate and 2D Materials URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/559667 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><div class="eds-l-mar-vert-6 eds-l-sm-mar-ver t-4 eds-text-bm structured-content-rich-text">\n<div class="eds-text--left ">\n<h4><span style="font-size: 24pt\;">Towards Optical Computing and Quan tum Light Generation in Lithium Niobate and 2D Materials</span></h4>\n<p>< img src="https://events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/edac1ba1-d c95-46e9-bb71-e65581a7943c" alt="" width="802" height="451"></p>\n</div>\n </div>\n<div class="eds-l-mar-vert-6 eds-l-sm-mar-vert-4 eds-text-bm struc tured-content-rich-text">\n<div class="eds-text--left">\n<div id="creator- nav-root">\n<div class="creator-workspace-layout events-workspace creator- workspace-layout-without-header" data-testid="creator-workspace-layout">\n <div class="creator-workspace--no-tabs" data-testid="creator-workspace-mai n">\n<div class="eds-structure eds-structure--min-height eds-structure--in dependent-scrolling">\n<div class="eds-structure__body">\n<div class="eds- structure__main-mask" data-spec="eds-structure-main-mask">\n<div class="ev ent-level-container">\n<div id="root">\n<div class="eds-structure eds-stru cture--min-height eds-structure--independent-scrolling" data-spec="eds-str ucture">\n<div class="eds-structure__body eds-structure__body--overflow-se t">\n<div class="eds-structure__main-mask eds-structure__main-mask--overfl ow-set" data-spec="eds-structure-main-mask">\n<div class="eds-structure__f ixed-bottom-bar-layout-wrapper eds-structure__fixed-bottom-bar-layout-wrap per--absolute">\n<div class="eds-fixed-bottom-bar-layout eds-fixed-bottom- bar-layout--absolute" data-spec="fixed-bottom-bar-layout">\n<div class="ed s-fixed-bottom-bar-layout__content">\n<div class="eds-structure__main-cont ainer"><main class="eds-structure__main" data-spec="eds-structure-main">\n <section class="eds-layout eds-layout--has-horizontal-gutters" data-spec=" eds-layout">\n<div class="eds-layout__body" data-spec="eds-layout__body">\ n<div class="Form-module__wrapper___1sKak "><form class="css-10oami3 e1ft 4gvv1" name="DetailsForm" novalidate="" data-testid="EventCreateDetailsFor m">\n<div class="css-188aeyp e9y8vn50">\n<div id="AboutThisEventSection" c lass="css-1g9pewn em1van10" tabindex="0" role="button" data-testid="AboutT hisEventSection" aria-label="Overview.
