Piloting a full-year, optics-based high school course on quantum computing
Joel A. Walsh, Mic Fenech, Derrick L. Tucker +2
Quantum computing was once regarded as a mere theoretical possibility, but recent advances in engineering and materials science have brought practical quantum computers closer to r…
Pinching operators for approximating multiphoton entangled states
Skylar R. Turner, Brian R. La Cour
We introduce the pinching operator, which extends the theory of squeezing operators to non-Gaussian operators, and use it to approximate -photon entangled states using a pinched…
Photon number resolving detectors as evidence for the corpuscular nature of light
Morgan C. Williamson, Gabriel D. Ko, Brian R. La Cour
We consider the question of whether photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors provide compelling evidence for the discrete nature of light; i.e., whether they indicate the prior pres…
The Virtual Quantum Optics Laboratory
Brian R. La Cour, Maria Maynard, Parth Shroff +2
We present a web-based software tool, the Virtual Quantum Optics Laboratory (VQOL), that may be used for designing and executing realistic simulations of quantum optics experiments…
