Strong coupling between single photons in semiconductor microcavities
William T. M. Irvine, Kevin Hennessy, Dirk Bouwmeester
We discuss the observability of strong coupling between single photons in semiconductor microcavities coupled by a chi(2) nonlinearity. We present two schemes and analyze the feasi…
Bloch theory of entangled photon generation in non-linear photonic crystals
William T. M. Irvine, Michiel J. A. de Dood, Dirk Bouwmeester
We present a quantum mechanical description of parametric down-conversion and phase-matching of Bloch-waves in non-linear photonic crystals. We discuss the theory in one-dimensiona…
Realisation of Hardy's Thought Experiment
William T. M. Irvine, Juan F. Hodelin, Christoph Simon +1
We present an experimental realisation of Hardy's thought experiment [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 68}, 2981 (1992)], using photons. The experiment consists of a pair of Mach-Zehnder inte…
Non-linear photonic crystals as a source of entangled photons
Michiel J. A. de Dood, William T. M. Irvine, Dirk Bouwmeester
Non-linear photonic crystals can be used to provide phase-matching for frequency conversion in optically isotropic materials. The phase-matching mechanism proposed here is a combin…
Robust long-distance entanglement and a loophole-free Bell test with ions and photons
Christoph Simon, William T. M. Irvine
Two trapped ions that are kilometers apart can be entangled by the joint detection of two photons, each coming from one of the ions, in a basis of entangled states. Such a detectio…
