Operation Time of Quantum Gates

Lev B. Levitin, Tommaso Toffoli, Zachary Walton

We consider a quantum gate that complements the state of a qubit and then adds to it an arbitrary phase shift. It is shown that the minimum operation time of the gate is tau = (h/4…

One-Way Entangled-Photon Autocompensating Quantum Cryptography

Zachary D. Walton, Ayman F. Abouraddy, Alexander V. Sergienko +2

A new quantum cryptography implementation is presented that combines one-way operation with an autocompensating feature that has hitherto only been available in implementations tha…

Controllable Frequency Entanglement via Auto-Phase-Matched Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion

Zachary D. Walton, Mark C. Booth, Alexander V. Sergienko +2

A new method for generating entangled photons with controllable frequency correlation via spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is presented. The method entails initiating…

Entangled-photon ellipsometry

Ayman F. Abouraddy, Kimani C. Toussaint, Alexander V. Sergienko +2

Performing reliable measurements in optical metrology, such as those needed in ellipsometry, requires a calibrated source and detector, or a well-characterized reference sample. We…

Counter-propagating entangled photons from a waveguide with periodic nonlinearity

Mark C. Booth, Mete Atature, Giovanni Di Giuseppe +3

The conditions required for spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a waveguide with periodic nonlinearity in the presence of an unguided pump field are established. Control of t…
