Universal Fidelity Law for Linear-Optical Entangling Gates
Haim Nakav, Ofer Firstenberg
Imperfect photon sources degrade the performance of interference-based linear-optical entangling gates. We derive a universal fidelity law for these gates in terms of two standard…
Spatial correlations of photons interacting via transverse Rydberg blockade
Bankim Chandra Das, Daniil Svirskiy, Matthias Metternich +3
We develop a theory of the transverse spatial dynamics of two interacting photons in a Rydberg nonlinear medium. Extending the well-studied one-dimensional case, we explore both lo…
Motional refocusing for trap-off Rydberg gates
Yoav Sagi, Ofer Firstenberg, Nir Davidson +1
Rydberg entangling gates in optical-tweezer arrays are commonly executed with the trapping light switched off, so every gate contains a release--and--recapture cycle that heats the…
Bimodal non-Gaussian photonic states from a single quantum emitter in a waveguide
Thomas Copie, Ofer Firstenberg, G. P. Teja +2
We investigate the generation of deterministic and heralded non-Gaussian states of light, using a single two-level system coupled to a chiral waveguide. We study the case of a sing…
Single-atom trapping in the evanescent field of an integrated photonic resonator
Yair Margalit, Omri Davidson, Oded Zemer +16
Strong atom-photon interactions on scalable photonic platforms hold significant potential for both atomic and photonic quantum information platforms. In particular, trapping of a s…
Non-symmetric quantum interfaces with bilayer atomic arrays
Roni Ben-Maimon, Ofer Firstenberg, Nir Davidson +1
We study quantum light-matter interfaces based on bilayer atomic arrays in free space, considering interlayer spacings that may deviate from the Bragg-symmetric condition, $a…
