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

How to create reusable boilerplates

Pages intended to be reused as portions of other pages are called templates. The names of template pages start with the prefix Template:. A template can be included on another page using the syntax {{Page name}} (including the curly brackets), but leave out the Template: prefix between the curly brackets!

On Wikipedia, templates are created to serve a variety of purposes, such as navigation boxes (e.g. Template:Europe topic), infoboxes (e.g. Template:Infobox person), and notices (e.g. Template:Controversial).

If you wish to make a personal boilerplate (such as a personalized welcome message, or the like), you make it in your own userspace. Simply create the page as a subpage of your userspace (in the format User:Foo/something). To put it onto a page, use the curly brackets as usual, but remember to use the syntax {{User:Foo/something}} rather than {{something}}. This is because the curly-bracket syntax automatically looks in the Template namespace, so if you want to use one from your own userspace, you need to tell it to look there.
