Sub 35-ps Single-Photon Stellar Intensity Interferometry of Vega

Verena G. Leopold, Sebastian Karl, Stefan Richter +7

SII enables measurements of stellar photospheres by correlating intensity fluctuations, offering a robust alternative to amplitude-based techniques. With the advent of modern singl…

Stellar physics at sub-nanoradian angular resolution

P. Batista, J. Biteau, C. Carlile +36

Many stars -- if they could be imaged with enough angular resolution -- would exhibit features expected from theory but not possible to extract from spectra. We may group these by…

Real-time measurement error mitigation for one-way quantum computation

Tobias Hartung, Stephan Schuster, Joachim von Zanthier +1

We propose a quantum error mitigation scheme for single-qubit measurement errors, particularly suited for one-way quantum computation. Contrary to well established error mitigation…

Multi-Path and Multi-Particle Tests of Complex vs. Hyper-Complex Quantum Theory

Ece İpek Saruhan, Joachim von Zanthier, Marc-Oliver Pleinert

The axioms of quantum mechanics provide limited information regarding the structure of the Hilbert space, such as the underlying number system. The latter is generally regarded as…

TEMPUS, a Timepix4-based system for event-based X-rays detection

Jonathan Correa, Alexandr Ignatenko, David Pennicard +16

A readout system based on the Timepix4 ASIC, is being developed for photon science. The TEMPUS detector can be operated in two distinct modes: a photon counting mode, which allows…

Spin-selective coherent light scattering from ion crystals

Maurizio Verde, Ansgar Schaefer, Benjamin Zenz +5

We study coherent light scattering from linear crystals with up to twelve ions, acting as single photon emitters. Light-scattering is induced by two-photon laser…

Hanbury Brown and Twiss interference of electrons in free space from independent needle tip sources

Anton Classen, Raul Corrêa, Florian Fleischmann +4

We investigate two-electron interference in free space using two laser-triggered needle tips as independent electron sources, a fermionic realisation of the landmark Hanbury Brown…

Phase Retrieval in Incoherent Diffractive Imaging using higher-order photon correlation functions

M. Bojer, J. Eckert, S. Karl +2

To obtain spatial information about an arbitrary object in x-ray structure analysis, the standard method is to measure the intensity in the far field, i.e., the first-order photon…

Studying the phase diagram of the three-flavor Schwinger model in the presence of a chemical potential with measurement- and gate-based quantum computing

Stephan Schuster, Stefan Kühn, Lena Funcke +4

We propose an ansatz quantum circuit for the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), suitable for exploring the phase structure of the multi-flavor Schwinger model in the presence o…

Photon counting intensity interferometry in the blue at a 0.5 m telescope

Sebastian Karl, Stefan Richter, Joachim von Zanthier

Intensity interferometry is a re-emerging interferometry tool that alleviates some of the challenges of amplitude interferometry at the cost of reduced sensitivity. We demonstrate…

Superradiance of non-interacting atoms

M. Bojer, J. von Zanthier

Fully-excited two-level atoms separated by less than the transition wavelength cooperatively emit light in a short burst, a phenomenon called superradiance by R. Dicke in 1954. The…

Engineering of spontaneous emission in free space via conditional measurements

Manuel Bojer, Lukas Götzendörfer, Romain Bachelard +1

We study the collective spontaneous emission of three identical two-level atoms initially prepared in the excited states by measuring Glauber's third-order photon correlation funct…

Comparing Different Approaches for Stellar Intensity Interferometry

Sebastian Karl, Andreas Zmija, Stefan Richter +7

Stellar intensity interferometers correlate photons within their coherence time and could overcome the baseline limitations of existing amplitude interferometers. Intensity interfe…

A quantitative comparison of amplitude versus intensity interferometry for astronomy

Manuel Bojer, Zixin Huang, Sebastian Karl +3

Astronomical imaging can be broadly classified into two types. The first type is amplitude interferometry, which includes conventional optical telescopes and Very Large Baseline In…

Different Types of Coherence: Young-type Interference versus Dicke Superradiance

D. Bhatti, M. Bojer, J. von Zanthier

Dicke superradiance, i.e., the enhanced spontaneous emission of coherent radiation, is often attributed to radiation emitted by synchronized dipoles coherently oscillating in phase…

Imaging trapped ion structures via fluorescence cross-correlation detection

Stefan Richter, Sebastian Wolf, Joachim von Zanthier +1

Cross-correlation signals are recorded from fluorescence photons scattered in free space off a trapped ion structure. The analysis of the signal allows for unambiguously revealing…

Testing higher-order quantum interference with many-particle states

Marc-Oliver Pleinert, Alfredo Rueda, Eric Lutz +1

Quantum theory permits interference between indistinguishable paths but, at the same time, restricts its order. Single-particle interference, for instance, is limited to the second…

Light from an ion crystal: bunching or antibunching?

Sebastian Wolf, Stefan Richter, Joachim von Zanthier +1

Photon statistics divides light sources into three different categories, characterized by bunched, antibunched or uncorrelated photon arrival times. Single atoms, ions, molecules,…

Many-particle interference to test Born's rule

Marc-Oliver Pleinert, Joachim von Zanthier, Eric Lutz

Born's rule, one of the cornerstones of quantum mechanics, relates detection probabilities to the modulus square of the wave function. Single-particle interference is accordingly l…
