Macroscopic photon counting beating the Poisson noise limit

Timon Schapeler, Fabian Schlue, Isabell Mischke +4

Photon counting is a cornerstone of quantum optics. Here, we demonstrate precisely counting from 0 to over 9000 photons, beating the Poisson noise limit by at least $4.1~\mathrm{dB…

Benchmarking Gaussian and non-Gaussian input states with a hybrid sampling platform

Michael Stefszky, Kai-Hong Luo, Jan-Lucas Eickmann +22

The original boson sampling paradigm-consisting of multiple single-photon input states, a large interferometer, and multi-channel click detection-was originally proposed as a photo…
