Maximally Entangled Mixed-State Generation via Local Operations
A. Aiello, G. Puentes, D. Voigt +1
We present a general theoretical method to generate maximally entangled mixed states of a pair of photons initially prepared in the singlet polarization state. This method requires…
Entangled mixed-state generation by twin-photon scattering
G. Puentes, D. Voigt, A. Aiello +1
We report experimental results on mixed-state generation by multiple scattering of polarization-entangled photon pairs created from parametric down-conversion. By using a large var…
Physical Bounds to the Entropy-Depolarization Relation in Random Light Scattering
A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman
We present a theoretical study of multi-mode scattering of light by optically random media, using the Mueller-Stokes formalism which permits to encode all the polarization properti…
Intrinsic Entanglement Degradation by Multi-Mode Detection
A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman
Relations between photon scattering, entanglement and multi-mode detection are investigated. We first establish a general framework in which one- and two-photon elastic scattering…
Quasi-paraxial theory for coupled unstable cavities I: formal development
A. Aiello, J. P. Woerdman
We present a formal wave theory for the calculation of the spectrum and the eigenmodes for a certain class of ray-chaotic optical cavities introduced by A. Aiello, M. P. van Exter,…
Does Excess Quantum Noise Exist in Spontaneous Processes?
A. Aiello, M. P. van Exter, G. Nienhuis +1
We investigate the role of excess quantum noise in type-II degenerate parametric down conversion in a cavity with non-orthogonal polarization eigenmodes. Since only two modes are i…
