Single-photon entanglement generation by wavefront shaping in a multiple-scattering medium

Hugo Defienne, Marco Barbieri, Benoit Chalopin +4

We demonstrate the control of entanglement of a single photon between several spatial modes propagating through a strongly scattering medium. Measurement of the scattering matrix a…

High-stability time-domain balanced homodyne detector for ultrafast optical pulse applications

Merlin Cooper, Christoph Söller, Brian J. Smith

Low-noise, efficient, phase-sensitive time-domain optical detection is essential for foundational tests of quantum physics based on optical quantum states and the realization of nu…

Optimal experiment design revisited: fair, precise and minimal tomography

J. Nunn, B. J. Smith, G. Puentes +2

Given an experimental set-up and a fixed number of measurements, how should one take data in order to optimally reconstruct the state of a quantum system? The problem of optimal ex…

Absolute efficiency estimation of photon-number-resolving detectors using twin beams

A. P. Worsley, H. B. Coldenstrodt-Ronge, J. S. Lundeen +5

A nonclassical light source is used to demonstrate experimentally the absolute efficiency calibration of a photon-number-resolving detector. The photon-pair detector calibration me…

Conditional preparation of single photons using parametric downconversion: A recipe for purity

Peter J Mosley, Jeff S Lundeen, Brian J Smith +1

In an experiment reported recently [Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 133601 (2008)], we demonstrated that, through group velocity matched parametric downconversion, heralded single photons ca…
