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

Time-saving links II

Sometimes you may be editing an article and want to link a plural to its singular form. For example, to link "Fred Foo was famous for his study of puddles" to puddle, you could link it like so: [[puddle|puddles]]. However, you can save time instead by writing [[puddle]]s.

This also works with adjectives (for example, [[Japan]]ese), regular verbs in present or past tense (for example, [[dance]]s or [[dance]]d) and any other suffixes or prefixes.

However, this method does not work with spelling changes, for example: [[try]]ied does not work; you have to enter [[try|tried]]. It also does not work with possessives, so you may want to use [[Fred Foo|Fred Foo's]] to get Fred Foo's. Using [[Fred Foo]]'s will look like Fred Foo's, i.e. the possessive suffix unlinked, in plain text, and black instead of blue.

Note: if a redirect exists from puddles to puddle you don't actually need to do any piping, it's fine to link [[puddles]] too.
