Experimental verification of entanglement generated in a plasmonic system
F. Dieleman, M. S. Tame, Y. Sonnefraud +2
A core process in many quantum tasks is the generation of entanglement. It is being actively studied in a variety of physical settings - from simple bipartite systems to complex mu…
Near-field microscopy with a scanning nitrogen-vacancy color center in a diamond nanocrystal: A brief review
A. Drezet, Y. Sonnefraud, A. Cuche +3
We review our recent developments of near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) that uses an active tip made of a single fluorescent nanodiamond (ND) grafted onto the apex of a…
Decision making based on optical excitation transfer via near-field interactions between quantum dots
Makoto Naruse, Wataru Nomura, Masashi Aono +5
Optical near-field interactions between nanostructured matter, such as quantum dots, result in unidirectional optical excitation transfer when energy dissipation is induced. This r…
Observation of quantum interference in the plasmonic Hong-Ou-Mandel effect
G. Di Martino, Y. Sonnefraud, M. S. Tame +5
We report direct evidence of the bosonic nature of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in a scattering-based beamsplitter. A parametric down-conversion source is used to produce two…
Plasmonic Nano-Gap Tilings: Light-Concentrating Surfaces for Low-Loss Photonic Integration
Paul M. Z. Davies, Joachim M. Hamm, Yannick Sonnefraud +2
Owing to their ability to concentrate light on nanometer scales, plasmonic surface structures are ideally suited for on-chip functionalization with nonlinear or gain materials. How…
Quantum Statistics of Surface Plasmon Polaritons in Metallic Stripe Waveguides
Giuliana Di Martino, Yannick Sonnefraud, Stéphane Kéna-Cohen +4
Single surface plasmon polaritons are excited using photons generated via spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The mean excitation rates, intensity correlations and Fock state p…
