The Hong-Ou-Mandel effect is really odd
Paul M. Alsing, Richard J. Birrittella, Christopher C. Gerry +2
When quantum state amplitudes interfere, surprising non-classical features emerge which emphasis the roles of indistinguishability and discreteness in quantum mechanics. A famous e…
Unconditional remote entanglement using second-harmonic generation and twin two-mode squeezed vacuum states
Richard J. Birrittella, James Schneeloch, Christopher C. Tison +3
We propose a photonics-based, continuous-variable (CV) form of remote entanglement utilizing strictly second-order nonlinear optical interactions that does not require the implemen…
Resolution of 100 photons and quantum generation of unbiased random numbers
Miller Eaton, Amr Hossameldin, Richard J. Birrittella +5
Macroscopic quantum phenomena, such as observed in superfluids and superconductors, have led to promising technological advancements and some of the most important tests of fundame…
Extending the Hong-Ou-Mandel Effect: the power of nonclassicality
Paul M. Alsing, Richard J. Birrittella, Christopher C. Gerry +2
We show that the parity (evenness or oddness) of a nonclassical state of light has a dominant influence on the interference effects at a balanced beam splitter, irrespective of the…
Proposal for a quantum random number generator using coherent light an a non-classical observable
Christopher C. Gerry, Richard J. Birrittella, Paul M. Alsing +3
The prototype quantum random number (random bit) generators (QRNG) consists of one photon at a time falling on a beam splitter followed by random detection in one or the ot…
Optimal spin- and planar-quantum squeezing in superpositions of spin coherent states
Richard J. Birrittella, Jason Ziskind, Edwin E. Hach +2
We investigate the presence of spin- and planar- squeezing in generalized superpositions of atomic (or spin) coherent states (ACS). Spin-squeezing has been shown to be a useful too…
