High-performance source of indistinguishable polarization-entangled photons with a local oscillator reference for quantum networking

Michael Grayson, Shawn Meyer, Daniel Sorensen +9

Optical quantum networking protocols impose stringent requirements on the states produced by sources of entanglement. We demonstrate a free-space, compact, source of indistinguisha…

Quantum Position Verification with Remote Untrusted Devices

Gautam A. Kavuri, Yanbao Zhang, Abigail R. Gookin +16

Position information underpins many modern technologies, from navigation and timing to authentication and critical infrastructure. However, classical methods of proving that inform…

Phase-Stable Optical Fiber Links for Quantum Network Protocols

Nicholas V. Nardelli, Dileep V. Reddy, Michael Grayson +5

We demonstrate the distribution of single-photon-level pulses from a mode-locked laser source over a phase-stable fiber link, achieving an optical timing jitter of less than 100 as…

Enhanced resolution chirped-pulse interferometry

Madeleine Bérubé, Michael D. Mazurek, Kevin J. Resch

Chirped-pulse interferometry (CPI) is a classical low-coherence interferometry technique with automatic dispersion cancellation and improved resolution over white-light interferenc…

Traceable random numbers from a nonlocal quantum advantage

Gautam A. Kavuri, Jasper Palfree, Dileep V. Reddy +20

The unpredictability of random numbers is fundamental to both digital security and applications that fairly distribute resources. However, existing random number generators have li…

A Liquid-Core Fiber Platform for Classical and Entangled Two-Photon Absorption Measurements

Kristen M. Parzuchowski, Michael D. Mazurek, Charles H. Camp +2

We introduce a toluene-filled fiber platform for two-photon absorption measurements. By confining both the light and molecular sample inside the 5 m hollow core of the fiber, we…

Hot-Band Absorption Can Mimic Entangled Two-Photon Absorption

Alexander Mikhaylov, Ryan N. Wilson, Kristen M. Parzuchowski +4

It has been proposed that entangled two-photon absorption (E2PA) can be observed with up to 10 orders of magnitude lower photon flux than its classical counterpart. However, there…

Demonstration that Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering requires more than one bit of faster-than-light information transmission

Yu Xiang, Michael D. Mazurek, Joshua C. Bienfang +10

Schrödinger held that a local quantum system has some objectively real quantum state and no other (hidden) properties. He therefore took the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) phenomeno…

Witnessing the survival of time-energy entanglement through biological tissue and scattering media

Daniel J. Lum, Michael D. Mazurek, Alexander Mikhaylov +7

We demonstrate the preservation of time-energy entanglement of near-IR photons through thick biological media (1.55 mm) and tissue ( 235 m) at room temperature. Usin…

Setting bounds on two-photon absorption cross-sections in common fluorophores with entangled photon pair excitation

Kristen M. Parzuchowski, Alexander Mikhaylov, Michael D. Mazurek +6

Excitation with entangled photon pairs may lead to an increase in the efficiency of two-photon absorption at low photon flux. The corresponding process, entangled two-photon absorp…

Device-independent Randomness Expansion with Entangled Photons

Lynden K. Shalm, Yanbao Zhang, Joshua C. Bienfang +12

With the growing availability of experimental loophole-free Bell tests, it has become possible to implement a new class of device-independent random number generators whose output…

Experimental Low-Latency Device-Independent Quantum Randomness

Yanbao Zhang, Lynden K. Shalm, Joshua C. Bienfang +10

Applications of randomness such as private key generation and public randomness beacons require small blocks of certified random bits on demand. Device-independent quantum random n…

Experimentally bounding deviations from quantum theory in the landscape of generalized probabilistic theories

Michael D. Mazurek, Matthew F. Pusey, Kevin J. Resch +1

Many experiments in the field of quantum foundations seek to adjudicate between quantum theory and speculative alternatives to it. This requires one to analyze the experimental dat…

Pure State Tomography with Pauli Measurements

Xian Ma, Tyler Jackson, Hui Zhou +10

We examine the problem of finding the minimum number of Pauli measurements needed to uniquely determine an arbitrary -qubit pure state among all quantum states. We show that onl…

An experimental test of noncontextuality without unwarranted idealizations

Michael D. Mazurek, Matthew F. Pusey, Ravi Kunjwal +2

To make precise the sense in which nature fails to respect classical physics, one requires a formal notion of classicality. Ideally, such a notion should be defined operationally,…

Theory of high-efficiency sum-frequency generation for single-photon waveform conversion

John M. Donohue, Michael D. Mazurek, Kevin J. Resch

The optimal properties for single photons may vary drastically between different quantum technologies. Along with central frequency conversion, control over photonic temporal wavef…
