Polarisation-resolved identification of spontaneous four-wave mixing processes in a multimode fused tapered fibre coupler

Jefferson Flórez, Chams Baker, Benjamin J. Sussman +3

Integrated quantum photonics benefits from photon-pair sources that generate photons directly in waveguides, where they can be efficiently collected, routed, and manipulated. Here,…

Sub-cycle metrology of bright quantum light

Shima Gholam-Mirzaei, Michael T. Weil, David N. Purschke +7

In quantum optics, quantization of the electromagnetic field typically occurs in a finite volume - a cavity - which results in discrete frequency modes where photons are created, a…

Evidence of Uncollapsed Quantum Amplitudes After Consecutive Measurements

Christoph Adami, Lambert Giner, Jeff S. Lundeen +1

Two of the most common interpretations of quantum measurement disagree about the fate of quantum amplitudes after measurement, yet this disagreement has not previously led to exper…

All-optical turbulence mitigation for free-space quantum key distribution using stimulated parametric down-conversion

Aaron A. Aguilar-Cardoso, Cheng Li, Tobey J. B. Luck +4

In this work, we propose and demonstrate a turbulence-resilient scheme for free-space quantum communication. By leveraging the phase conjugation property of stimulated parametric d…

Can We Conjugate the Orbital Angular Momentum of a Single Photon with Nonlinear Optics? A Theoretical Analysis

Tobey Luck, Aarón Aguilar-Cardoso, Cheng Li +4

Stimulated parametric down-conversion (StimPDC) produces an idler beam that exhibits a phase conjugate of the spatial structure of the classical seed beam. Extending this effect to…

Experimental demonstration of a multi-particle collective measurement for optimal quantum state estimation

Arman Mansouri, Kyle M. Jordan, Raphael A. Abrahao +1

We experimentally demonstrate a two-particle collective measurement proposed as the optimal solution to a quantum state estimation game. Our results suggest that, in practice, the…

Arbitrary optical wave evolution with Fourier transforms and phase masks

Víctor J. López-Pastor, Jeff S. Lundeen, Florian Marquardt

A large number of applications in classical and quantum photonics require the capability of implementing arbitrary linear unitary transformations on a set of optical modes. In a se…

Projecting onto any two-photon polarization state using linear optics

G. S. Thekkadath, L. Giner, X. Ma +2

Projectors are a simple but powerful tool for manipulating and probing quantum systems. For instance, projecting two-qubit systems onto maximally entangled states can enable quantu…

Implementation of nearly arbitrary spatially-varying polarization transformations: a non-diffractive and non-interferometric approach using spatial light modulators

M. T. Runyon, C. H. Nacke, A. Sit +3

A fast and automated scheme for general polarization transformations holds great value in adaptive optics, quantum information, and virtually all applications involving light-matte…

Direct measurement of the density matrix of a quantum system

G. S. Thekkadath, L. Giner, Y. Chalich +3

One drawback of conventional quantum state tomography is that it does not readily provide access to single density matrix elements, since it requires a global reconstruction. Here…
