Sub-Rayleigh lithography using high flux loss-resistant entangled states of light

Shamir Rosen, Itai Afek, Yonatan Israel +2

Quantum lithography achieves phase super-resolution using fragile, experimentally challenging entangled states of light. We propose a scalable scheme for creating features narrower…

Experimental tomography of NOON states with large photon numbers

Yonatan Israel, Itai Afek, Shamir Rosen +2

We have performed experimental quantum state tomography of NOON states with up to four photons. The measured states are generated by mixing a classical coherent state with spontane…

Classical Bound for Mach-Zehnder Super-Resolution

Itai Afek, Oron Ambar, Yaron Silberberg

The employment of path entangled multiphoton states enables measurement of phase with enhanced precision. It is common practice to demonstrate the unique properties of such quantum…

Scalable generation of multiphoton path entanglement with high NOON-state fidelity

Itai Afek, Oron Ambar, Yaron Silberberg

"Schrodinger's cat" is a gedankenexperiment intended to highlight conceptual difficulties in the interpretation of quantum mechanics. The generation of 'cat-like' states is central…

Quantum state measurements using multi-pixel photon detectors

I. Afek, A. Natan, O. Ambar +1

The characterization and conditional preparation of multi-photon quantum states requires the use of photon number resolving detectors. We study the use of detectors based on multip…

Spectral Polarization and Spectral Phase Control of Time and Energy Entangled Photons

Barak Dayan, Yaron Bromberg, Itai Afek +1

We demonstrate a scheme to spectrally manipulate a collinear, continuous stream of time and energy entangled photons to generate beamlike, bandwidth-limited fuxes of polarization-e…

Void Formation and Roughening in Slow Fracture

Itai Afek, Eran Bouchbinder, Eytan Katzav +2

Slow crack propagation in ductile, and in certain brittle materials, appears to take place via the nucleation of voids ahead of the crack tip due to plastic yields, followed by the…
