Quantum electromechanics with levitated nanoparticles
Lukas Martinetz, Klaus Hornberger, James Millen +2
Preparing and observing quantum states of nanoscale particles is a challenging task with great relevance for quantum technologies and tests of fundamental physics. In contrast to a…
Optical nonclassicality test based on third-order intensity correlations
L. Rigovacca, W. S. Kolthammer, C. Di Franco +1
We develop a nonclassicality criterion for the interference of three delayed, but otherwise identical, light fields in a three-mode Bell interferometer. We do so by comparing the p…
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…
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…
Quantum state transfer via temporal kicking of information
C. Di Franco, M. Paternostro, M. S. Kim
We propose a strategy for perfect state transfer in spin chains based on the use of an unmodulated coupling Hamiltonian whose coefficients are explicitly time dependent. We show th…
Hamiltonian tomography in an access-limited setting without state initialization
C. Di Franco, M. Paternostro, M. S. Kim
We propose a scheme for the determination of the coupling parameters in a chain of interacting spins. This requires only time-resolved measurements over a single particle, simple d…
