Single-photon generation and simultaneous observation of wave and particle properties
Thomas Aichele, Ulrike Herzog, Matthias Scholz +1
We describe an experiment that generates single photons on demand and measures properties accounted to both particle- and wave-like features of light. The measurement is performed…
Optical mode characterization of single photons prepared via conditional measurements on a biphoton state
T. Aichele, A. I. Lvovsky, S. Schiller
A detailed theoretical analysis of the spatiotemporal mode of a single photon prepared via conditional measurements on a photon pair generated in the process of parametric down-con…
An ultra-sensitive pulsed balanced homodyne detector: Application to time-domain quantum measurements
H. Hansen, T. Aichele, C. Hettich +4
A pulsed balanced homodyne detector has been developed for precise measurements of electric field quadratures of pulsed optical quantum states. A high level of common mode suppress…
Quantum state reconstruction of the single-photon Fock state
A. I. Lvovsky, H. Hansen, T. Aichele +3
We have reconstructed the quantum state of optical pulses containing single photons using the method of phase-randomized pulsed optical homodyne tomography. The single-photon Fock…
