Minimal covariant observables identifying all pure states

Claudio Carmeli, Teiko Heinosaari, Alessandro Toigo

It has been recently shown that an observable that identifies all pure states of a d-dimensional quantum system has minimally 4d-4 outcomes or slightly less (the exact number depen…

Experimental boson sampling in arbitrary integrated photonic circuits

A. Crespi, R. Osellame, R. Ramponi +7

Photons naturally solve the BosonSampling problem: sample the outputs of a multi-photon experiment in a linear-optical interferometer. This is strongly believed to be hard to do on…

Three-photon bosonic coalescence in an integrated tritter

Nicolò Spagnolo, Chiara Vitelli, Lorenzo Aparo +5

The main features of quantum mechanics reside in interference deriving from the superposition of different quantum objects. While current quantum optical technology enables two-pho…

Comparing the degrees of incompatibility inherent in probabilistic physical theories

Paul Busch, Teiko Heinosaari, Jussi Schultz +1

We introduce a new way of quantifying the degrees of incompatibility of two ob- servables in a probabilistic physical theory and, based on this, a global measure of the degree of i…

Improving the performance of bright quantum dot single photon sources using amplitude modulation

Serkan Ates, Imad Agha, Angelo Gulinatti +3

Single epitaxially-grown semiconductor quantum dots have great potential as single photon sources for photonic quantum technologies, though in practice devices often exhibit non-id…

Two-photon interference using background-free quantum frequency conversion of single photons from a semiconductor quantum dot

Serkan Ates, Imad Agha, Angelo Gulinatti +4

We show that quantum frequency conversion (QFC) can overcome the spectral distinguishability common to inhomogeneously broadened solid-state quantum emitters. QFC is implemented by…

Quantum trajectories: memory and continuous observation

A. Barchielli, C. Pellegrini, F. Petruccione

Starting from a generalization of the quantum trajectory theory (based on the stochastic Schrödinger equation - SSE), non-Markovian models of quantum dynamics are derived. In order…

Telecommunications-band heralded single photons from a silicon nanophotonic chip

Marcelo Davanco, Jun Rong Ong, Andrea Bahgat Shehata +7

We demonstrate heralded single photon generation in a CMOS-compatible silicon nanophotonic device. The strong modal confinement and slow group velocity provided by a coupled resona…

Emission of correlated photon pairs from superluminal perturbations in dispersive media

Francesco Dalla Piazza, Francesco Belgiorno, Sergio Luigi Cacciatori +1

We develop a perturbative theory that describes a superluminal refractive perturbation propagating in a dispersive medium and the subsequent excitation of the quantum vacuum zero-p…
