Bounds and optimisation of orbital angular momentum bandwidths within parametric down-conversion systems

F. M. Miatto, D. Giovannini, J. Romero +3

The measurement of high-dimensional entangled states of orbital angular momentum prepared by spontaneous parametric down-conversion can be considered in two separate stages: a gene…

Specification of photonic circuits using Quantum Hardware Description Language

Nikolas Tezak, Armand Niederberger, Dmitri S. Pavlichin +2

Following the simple observation that the interconnection of a set of quantum optical input-output devices can be specified using structural mode VHSIC Hardware Description Languag…

Cartesian and polar Schmidt bases for down-converted photons

Filippo M. Miatto, Thomas Brougham, Alison M. Yao

We derive an analytical form of the Schmidt modes of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) biphotons in both Cartesian and polar coordinates. We show that these correspond…

Decision problems with quantum black boxes

Mark Hillery, Erika Andersson, Stephen M. Barnett +1

We examine how to distinguish between unitary operators, when the exact form of the possible operators is not known. Instead we are supplied with "programs" in the form of unitary…

A gravitational wave observatory operating beyond the quantum shot-noise limit: Squeezed light in application

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration

Around the globe several observatories are seeking the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs). These waves are predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity [Ei…

Fundamental Speed Limits on Quantum Coherence and Correlation Decay

Daniel Oi, Sophie Schirmer

The study and control of coherence in quantum systems is one of the most exciting recent developments in physics. Quantum coherence plays a crucial role in emerging quantum technol…

A quantum computation architecture using optical tweezers

Christof Weitenberg, Stefan Kuhr, Klaus Mølmer +1

We present a complete architecture for scalable quantum computation with ultracold atoms in optical lattices using optical tweezers focused to the size of a lattice spacing. We dis…

Nonlocal compensation of pure phase objects with entangled photons

S. Cialdi, D. Brivio, E. Tesio +1

We suggest and demonstrate a scheme for coherent nonlocal compensation of pure phase objects based on two-photon polarization and momentum entangled states. The insertion of a sing…

Optical amplifier-powered quantum optical amplification

John Jeffers

I show that an optical amplifier, when combined with photon subtraction, can be used for quantum state amplification, adding noise at a level below the standard minimum. The device…

The Simplest Demonstrations of Quantum Nonlocality

Dylan J. Saunders, Matthew S. Palsson, Geoff J. Pryde +3

We investigate the complexity cost of demonstrating the key types of nonclassical correlations --- Bell inequality violation, EPR-steering, and entanglement --- with independent ag…

Quantum Walk with a four-dimensional coin

Craig S Hamilton, Aurel Gabris, Igor Jex +1

We examine the physical implementation of a discrete time quantum walk with a four-dimensional coin. Our quantum walker is a photon moving repeatedly through a time delay loop, wit…

Directional correlations in quantum walks with two particles

M. Stefanak, S. M. Barnett, B. Kollar +2

Quantum walks on the line with a single particle possess a classical analog. Involving more walkers opens up the possibility to study collective quantum effects, such as many parti…

Nondeterministic Amplifier for Two Photon Superpositions

John Jeffers

We examine heralded nondeterministic noiseless amplification based on the quantum scissors device, which has been shown to increase the one-photon amplitude of a state at the expen…
