Improved measurement of two-mode quantum correlations using a phase-sensitive amplifier

Tian Li, Brian E. Anderson, Travis Horrom +3

We demonstrate the ability of a phase-sensitive amplifier (PSA) to pre-amplify a selected quadrature of one mode of a two-mode squeezed state in order to improve the measurement of…

The effect of input phase modulation to a phase-sensitive optical amplifier

Tian Li, Brian E. Anderson, Travis Horrom +2

Many optical applications depend on amplitude modulating optical beams using devices such as acousto-optical modulators (AOMs) or optical choppers. Methods to add amplitude modulat…

Multi-channel entanglement distribution using spatial multiplexing from four-wave mixing in atomic vapor

Prasoon Gupta, Travis Horrom, Brian E. Anderson +2

Four-wave mixing in atomic vapor allows for the generation of multi-spatial-mode states of light containing many pairs of two-mode entangled vacuum beams. This in principle can be…

Searching for stochastic gravitational waves using data from the two co-located LIGO Hanford detectors

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +873

Searches for a stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB) using terrestrial detectors typically involve cross-correlating data from pairs of detectors. The sensitivity of such…
