Experimental demonstration of an efficient, semi-device-independent photonic indistinguishability witness

Reinier van der Meer, Peter Hooijschuur, Franciscus H. B. Somhorst +10

Efficient and reliable measurements of photonic indistinguishability are crucial to solidify claims of a quantum advantage in photonics. Existing indistinguishability witnesses may…

Observation of open scattering channels

Reinier van der Meer, Michiel de Goede, Ben Kassenberg +7

The existence of fully transmissive eigenchannels ("open channels") in a random scattering medium is a counterintuitive and unresolved prediction of random matrix theory. The smoki…

Artificial coherent states of light by multi-photon interference in a single-photon stream

P. Steindl, H. Snijders, G. Westra +9

Coherent optical states consist of a quantum superposition of different photon number (Fock) states, but because they do not form an orthogonal basis, no photon number states can b…

Extended polarized semiclassical model for quantum-dot cavity QED and its application to single-photon sources

H. J. Snijders, D. N. L. Kok, M. F. van de Stolpe +7

We present a simple extension of the semi-classical model for a two-level system in a cavity, in order to incorporate multiple polarized transitions, such as those appearing in neu…
