How to Project onto an Arbitrary Single-Photon Wavepacket
Tzula B. Propp, Steven J. van Enk
The time-frequency degree of freedom of the electromagnetic field is the final frontier for single-photon measurements. The temporal and spectral distribution a measurement retrodi…

Quantum Networks for Single Photon Detection
Tzula B. Propp, S. J. van Enk
Single photon detection generally consists of several stages: the photon has to interact with one or more charged particles, its excitation energy will be converted into other form…

On Nonlinear Amplification: Improved Quantum Limits for Photon Counting
Tzula B. Propp, S. J. van Enk
We show that detection of single photons is not subject to the fundamental limitations that accompany quantum linear amplification of bosonic mode amplitudes, even though a photode…
