Joseph M. Lukens works on quantum photonics and quantum networking, focusing on how light (particularly entangled photons and quantum states encoded in light) can be measured, verified, and transmitted over optical fiber networks. His research combines experimental testing of deployed fiber-optic quantum links with statistical and computational methods, such as Bayesian estimation and machine learning, for characterizing and improving quantum communication systems.
