Coherent Control of Vibrational State Population in a Nonpolar Molecule
A. Picón, J. Biegert, A. Jaron-Becker +1
A coherent control scheme for the population distribution in the vibrational states of nonpolar molecules is proposed. Our theoretical analysis and results of numerical simulations…
Fast optical source for quantum key distribution based on semiconductor optical amplifiers
M. Jofre, A. Gardelein, G. Anzolin +16
A novel integrated optical source capable of emitting faint pulses with different polarization states and with different intensity levels at 100 MHz has been developed. The source…
Atom-Resonant Heralded Single Photons by Interaction-Free Measurement
Florian Wolfgramm, Yannick A. de Icaza Astiz, Federica A. Beduini +2
We demonstrate the generation of rubidium-resonant heralded single photons for quantum memories. Photon pairs are created by cavity-enhanced down-conversion and narrowed in bandwid…
A photon-pair source with controllable delay based on shaped inhomogeneous broadening of rare-earth doped solids
Pavel Sekatski, Nicolas Sangouard, Nicolas Gisin +2
Spontaneous Raman emission in atomic gases provides an attractive source of photon pairs with a controllable delay. We show how this technique can be implemented in solid state sys…
Femtosecond Coherence and Quantum Control of Single Molecules at Room Temperature
Richard Hildner, Daan Brinks, Niek F. van Hulst
Quantum mechanical phenomena, such as electronic coherence and entanglement, play a key role in achieving the unrivalled efficiencies of light-energy conversion in natural photosyn…
Superactivation, unlockability, and secrecy distribution of bound information
Giuseppe Prettico, Joonwoo Bae
Bound information, a cryptographic classical analogue of bound entanglement, is defined as classical secret correlations from which no secret key can be extracted. Its existence wa…
