Towards efficient quantum memory of orbital angular momentum qubits in cold atoms

Chengyuan Wang, Ya Yu, Yun Chen +7

The spatial modes of light, carrying a quantized amount of orbital angular momentum (OAM), is one of the excellent candidates that provides access to high-dimensional quantum state…

Coherent scattering 2D cooling in levitated cavity optomechanics

Marko Toroš, Uroš Delić, Fagin Hales +1

The strong light-matter optomechanical coupling offered by Coherent Scattering (CS) set-ups have allowed the experimental realisation of quantum ground state cavity cooling of the…

Quantum illumination imaging with a single-photon avalanche diode camera

Hugo Defienne, Jiuxuan Zhao, Edoardo Charbon +1

Single-photon-avalanche diode (SPAD) arrays are essential tools in biophotonics, optical ranging and sensing and quantum optics. However, their small number of pixels, low quantum…

Inverse design of environment-induced coherence

Robert Bennett

Atomic transitions with orthogonal dipole moments can be made to interfere with each other by the use of an anisotropic environment. Here we describe, provide and apply a computati…

Coherent superconducting qubits from a subtractive junction fabrication process

Alexander Stehli, Jan David Brehm, Tim Wolz +6

Josephson tunnel junctions are the centerpiece of almost any superconducting electronic circuit, including qubits. Typically, the junctions for qubits are fabricated using shadow e…

Programmable coherent linear quantum operations with high-dimensional optical spatial modes

Shikang Li, Shan Zhang Xue Feng, Stephen M. Barnett +4

A simple and flexible scheme for high-dimensional linear quantum operations on optical transverse spatial modes is demonstrated. The quantum Fourier transformation (QFT) and quantu…

Beyond coincidence: using all the data in Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry

Hannah Scott, Dominic Branford, Niclas Westerberg +2

The Hong-Ou-Mandel effect provides a mechanism to determine the distinguishability of a photon pair by measuring the bunching rates of two photons interfering at a beam splitter. O…

Creating atom-nanoparticle quantum superpositions

M. Toroš, S. Bose, P. F. Barker

A nanoscale object evidenced in a non-classical state of its centre of mass will hugely extend the boundaries of quantum mechanics. To obtain a practical scheme for the same, we ex…

Spontaneous emission in anisotropic dielectrics

Anette Messinger, Niclas Westerberg, Stephen M. Barnett

The emission properties of atoms lie at the foundations of both quantum theory and light-matter interactions. In the context of macroscopic media, exact knowledge thereof is import…

Unambiguous quantum state elimination for qubit sequences

Jonathan Crickmore, Ittoop Vergheese Puthoor, Berke Ricketti +3

Quantum state elimination measurements tell us what states a quantum system does not have. This is different from state discrimination, where one tries to determine what the state…

Avoiding gauge ambiguities in cavity QED

Dominic M. Rouse, Brendon W. Lovett, Erik M. Gauger +1

Systems of interacting charges and fields are ubiquitous in physics. Recently, it has been shown that Hamiltonians derived using different gauges can yield different physical resul…

Quantum correlations between the light and kilogram-mass mirrors of LIGO

Haocun Yu, L. McCuller, M. Tse +196

Measurement of minuscule forces and displacements with ever greater precision encounters a limit imposed by a pillar of quantum mechanics: the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. A l…

Imaging spatio-temporal Hong-Ou-Mandel interference of bi-photon state of extremely high Schmidt number

Fabrice Devaux, Alexis Mosset, Paul-Antoine Moreau +1

We report the experimental observation of a spatio-temporal Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference of bi-photon states of extremely high Schmidt number. Two-photon interference of 1500…

Integrated micro-comb sources for quantum optical applications

Michael Kues, Christian Reimer, Joseph M. Lukens +4

A key challenge for quantum science and technology is to realise large-scale, precisely controllable, practical systems for non-classical secured communications, metrology and ulti…
