Abstract

We outline the main research lines in nonlinear and quantum optics of the Group of Photonics and Quantum Information at the University of Valladolid. These works focus on optical solitons, quantum information using photonic technologies and the development of new materials for nonlinear optics. The investigations on optical solitons cover both temporal solitons in dispersion managed fiber links and nonparaxial spatial solitons as described by the Nonlinear Helmholtz Equation. Within the Quantum Information research lines of the group, the studies address new photonic schemes for quantum computation and the multiplexing of quantum data. The investigations of the group are, to a large extent, based on intensive and parallel computations. Some associated numerical techniques for the development of the activities described are briefly sketched
