Delayed-choice test of complementarity with single photons
Vincent Jacques, E. Wu, Frédéric Grosshans +4
We report an experimental test of complementarity using clock-triggered single-photon pulses emitted by an individual N-V color center in a diamond nanocrystal. The single photons…
Wheeler's delayed-choice thought experiment: Experimental realization and theoretical analysis
Vincent Jacques, E. Wu, Frédéric Grosshans +4
Wheeler has strikingly illustrated the wave-particle duality by the delayed-choice thought experiment, in which the configuration of a 2-path interferometer is chosen after a singl…
Enhancing single-molecule photostability by optical feedback from quantum-jump detection
Vincent Jacques, John Murray, François Marquier +4
We report an optical technique that yields an enhancement of single-molecule photostability, by greatly suppressing photobleaching pathways which involve photoexcitation from the t…
Narrow-band single-photon emission in the near infrared for quantum key distribution
E. Wu, Vincent Jacques, Heping Zeng +3
We report on the observation of single colour centers in natural diamond samples emitting in the near infrared region when optically excited. Photoluminescence of these single emit…
Experimental open air quantum key distribution with a single photon source
Romain Alleaume, Francois Treussart, Gaetan Messin +6
We present a full implementation of a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with a single photon source, operating at night in open air. The single photon source at the heart of th…
Photon statistics characterization of a single photon source
Romain Alleaume, Francois Treussart, Jean-Michel Courty +1
n a recent experiment, we reported the time-domain intensity noise measurement of a single photon source relying on single molecule fluorescence control. In this article we present…
