Autocorrelation functions: a useful tool for both state and detector characterisation
Giovanni Chesi, Alessia Allevi, Maria Bondani
The calculation of autocorrelation functions represents a routinely used tool to characterise quantum states of light. In this paper, we evaluate the function for detecte…

Optimizing Silicon photomultipliers for Quantum Optics
Giovanni Chesi, Luca Malinverno, Alessia Allevi +4
Silicon Photomultipliers are potentially ideal detectors for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information studies based on mesoscopic states of light. However, their non-idealities hampe…

Measuring nonclassicality with Silicon photomultipliers
Giovanni Chesi, Luca Malinverno, Alessia Allevi +3
Detector stochastic deviations from an ideal response can hamper the measurement of quantum properties of light especially in the mesoscopic regime where photon-number resolution i…
