Bio
Prof. Shlomi Arnon
is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is
also the director of the Center for Quantum Science
and Technology (BGU-QST) at Ben Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), Israel,
and the director of the Satellite and Wireless Communication Laboratory at the
university. Professor Arnon is a Fellow of the International Society for
Optics and Photonics (SPIE). He was a postdoctoral associate (Fulbright Fellow)
at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, USA. He has held visiting positions at TU/e
Eindhoven, Philips Lab, Nederland, TU Delft, and Cornell University. He has served
several times as associate editor for special issues on optical wireless
communication for OSA and IEEE. He is co-author of the book Applied Aspects of
Optical Communication and LIDAR, Taylor & Francis/CRC, 2010; co-editor of
the book Advanced Optical Wireless Communication Systems, Cambridge University
Press, 2012; and editor of the book Visible Light Communication, Cambridge
University Press, 2015. Recently he has initiated a new project in area of
medical and quantum technology funded by the prestigious European Union FET
Open program. The main subjects of his research include wireless and satellite
communication, optical wireless communication, free space optics, quantum key
distribution system, optical technologies for environmental monitoring, and
quantum technology for medical applications
Our current research:
Medical
EU 2020 FET-Open
project Breast cancer detection CANCER SCAN (coordinated by Prof Arnon ) plans to develop a radically new unified
technological concept of biomedical breast cancer detection utilizing. This project is at the forefront of research
aimed at integrating quantum science into medical applications.

Quantum
In this research we look at practical implementation of a long-range
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) link with trusted nodes, achieving the highest
possible secret key rate generation within the security and system level
constraints.

in collaboration with Prof. M. Mondin and et. al.
Environmental and
agriculture monitoring
We have only one
Earth, and to keep it at healthy condition, continuous monitoring is
required. We develop different optical
methods to monitor water, aerosols and air.
