Temporally Asymmetric Bi-photon States in Cavity Enhanced Optical Parametric Processes
arXiv:1904.09686 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevApplied.12.054019
Abstract
Generation and control of quantum states of light on an integrated platform has become an essential tool for scalable quantum technologies. Chip scale sources such as nonlinear optical microcavities have been demonstrated to efficiently generate entangled bi-photon states. However these systems have little control over the continuous variable time-energy entanglement of the photons. We demonstrate such control by preparing bi-photon states with asymmetric temporal wavefunctions by selectively modifying the density of states of the cavity modes taking part in the interaction using Rayleigh scattering-induced strong coupling of optical modes of a resonator. These states reveal exotic coherence properties and show a path forward for continuous variable quantum state engineering on a chip.
