Non-classical Semiconductor Photon Sources Enhancing the Performance of Classical Target Detection Systems

Haoyu He, Daniel Giovannini, Han Liu +3

We demonstrate and analyze how deploying non-classical intensity correlations obtained from a monolithic semiconductor quantum photon source can enhance classical target detection…

Enhancing LIDAR performance metrics using continuous-wave photon-pair sources

Han Liu, Daniel Giovannini, Haoyu He +4

In order to enhance LIDAR performance metrics such as target detection sensitivity, noise resilience and ranging accuracy, we exploit the strong temporal correlation within the pho…

Measuring the phase velocity of twisted wavefronts

Grace Richard, Holly Lay, Daniel Giovannini +3

Traditionally one defines the speed of a wave as a property of the medium. Recent studies in photonics have challenged this idea, indicating that spatial shaping of the optical wav…

Coherent absorption of N00N states

Thomas Roger, Sara Restuccia, Ashley Lyons +5

Recent results in deeply subwavelength thickness films demonstrated coherent control and logical gate operations with both classical and single photon light sources. However, quant…

Photons that travel in free space slower than the speed of light

Daniel Giovannini, Jacquiline Romero, Vaclav Potocek +5

That the speed of light in free space is constant is a cornerstone of modern physics. However, light beams have finite transverse size, which leads to a modification of their wavev…

Tailored two-photon correlation and fair-sampling: a cautionary tale

Jacquiline Romero, Daniel Giovannini, Daniel Tasca +2

We demonstrate an experimental test of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality which seemingly exhibits correlations beyond the limits imposed by quantum mechanics. I…

Characterization of high-dimensional entangled systems via mutually unbiased measurements

D. Giovannini, J. Romero, J. Leach +3

Mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) play a key role in many protocols in quantum science, such as quantum key distribution. However, defining MUBs for arbitrary high-dimensional systems…

Increasing the dimension in high-dimensional two-photon orbital angular momentum entanglement

J. Romero, D. Giovannini, S. Franke-Anold +2

Any practical experiment utilising the innate D-dimensional entanglement of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) state space of photons is subject to the modal capacity of the detect…
