A high-performance quantum pulse gate in thin-film lithium niobate

Silia Babel, Alejandra Alarcón, Laura Serino +10

In this work, we demonstrate a quantum pulse gate (QPG) in thin-film lithium niobate. QPGs enable the selective manipulation and detection of temporal modes of quantum light and fo…
