Phase-Stable Optical Fiber Links for Quantum Network Protocols

Nicholas V. Nardelli, Dileep V. Reddy, Michael Grayson +5

We demonstrate the distribution of single-photon-level pulses from a mode-locked laser source over a phase-stable fiber link, achieving an optical timing jitter of less than 100 as…

High-performance source of indistinguishable polarization-entangled photons with a local oscillator reference for quantum networking

Michael Grayson, Shawn Meyer, Daniel Sorensen +9

Optical quantum networking protocols impose stringent requirements on the states produced by sources of entanglement. We demonstrate a free-space, compact, source of indistinguisha…

Thermodynamics of prebiotic synthesis

Michael Grayson

In this paper, I outline the correspondence of vector partitions with the combinatorics of dynamical systems whose states are partitions of multisets. I use the notion of a limitin…

Cascaded forward Brillouin lasing in a chalcogenide whispering gallery mode microresonator

Thariq Shanavas, Michael Grayson, Bo Xu +3

We report the first observation of cascaded forward stimulated Brillouin scattering in a microresonator platform. We have demonstrated 25 orders of intramodal Stokes beams separate…

Maximal energy extraction through information gathering

Michael Grayson, Charlie Rackson

We calculate the maximal non-equilibrium work that can be extracted from any mass using information about its micro-state. This is done through the use of black hole thermodynamics…
