Deterministic linear-optical computing with symmetry-based qubits
David S. Simon, Christopher R. Schwarze, Anthony D. Manni +2
A particular type of linear optical multiport, the Grover four-port, has previously been shown to couple the spatial symmetry of a photon to its direction of travel. It is shown he…
Strain sensitivity enhancement in a Grover-Michelson interferometer
Anthony D. Manni, Christopher R. Schwarze, David S. Simon +2
The Michelson interferometric phase detection resolution can be enhanced by replacing conventional beam splitters with novel directionally unbiased four-port scatterers, such as Gr…
Next-generation interferometry with gauge-invariant linear optical scatterers
Christopher R. Schwarze, Anthony D. Manni, David S. Simon +2
Measurement technology employing optical interference phenomena such as a fringe pattern or frequency shift has been evolving for more than a century. The systems are being designe…
Scalar computational primitives with perturbative phase interferometry
Christopher R. Schwarze, Anthony D. Manni, David S. Simon +1
We describe how weak phase modulations applied to classical coherent light in specially modified linear interferometers can be used to perform primitive computational tasks. Instea…
Experimental demonstration of a Grover-Michelson interferometer
Christopher R. Schwarze, David S. Simon, Anthony D. Manni +2
We present a low-resource and robust optical implementation of the four-dimensional Grover coin, a four-port linear-optical scatterer that augments the low dimensionality of a regu…
Single-photon description of the lossless optical Y coupler
Christopher R. Schwarze, Anthony D. Manni, David S. Simon +1
Using symmetry considerations, we derive a unitary scattering matrix for a three-port optical Y-coupler or Y-branch. The result is shown to be unique up to external phase shifts. U…
Exceptional points in SSH-like models with hopping amplitude gradient
David S. Simon, Christopher R. Schwarze, Abdoulaye Ndao +1
The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) system is a popular model for exploring topological insulators and topological phases in one dimension. Recent interest in exceptional points has led…
Finite-element assembly approach of optical quantum walk networks
Christopher R. Schwarze, David S. Simon, Anthony D. Manni +2
We present a finite-element approach for computing the aggregate scattering matrix of a network of linear coherent scatterers. These might be optical scatterers or more general sca…
Tunable linear-optical phase amplification
Christopher R. Schwarze, David S. Simon, Abdoulaye Ndao +1
We combine lossless, phase-only transformations with fully-transmitting linear-optical scatterers to define the principle of linear-optical phase amplification. This enables a phys…
Enhanced-sensitivity interferometry with phase-sensitive unbiased multiports
Christopher R. Schwarze, David S. Simon, Alexander V. Sergienko
Here we introduce interferometric devices by combining optical feedback (cavities) with unbiased multiports, which unlike traditional beam dividers, allow light to reflect back out…
Interferometry and higher-dimensional phase measurements using directionally unbiased linear optics
David S. Simon, Christopher R. Schwarze, Alexander V. Sergienko
Grover multiports are higher-dimensional generalizations of beam splitters, in which input to any one of the four ports has equal probability of exiting at any of the same four por…
