In this talk we will discuss two such error sources and ways to reduce them: (1) collisions with background gas molecules and (2) optical crosstalk between control beams.

Associate Professor Judy Su was named in the Photonics100 List by Electro Optics, a company dedicated to providing uncompromised, informed commentary and analysis on topics of interest to the global photonics industry. "The Photonics100 celebrates the people who are pushing the photonics industry forward, whether as the inventors, manufacturers, or end users of technology."

We propose to use nonlinear optics to couple with such multipolar orders, where we can use multiple copies of electromagnetic fields to construct the required coupling fields. We will demonstrate the success of this concept.
