Towards reconstructing quantum structured light on a quantum computer
Mwezi Koni, Shawal Kassim, Paola C. Obando +2
We introduce a variational quantum computing approach for quantum state reconstruction within a discretized logical framework, using experimental measurement data as input. By mapp…
Remote engineering of particle-like topologies to visualise entanglement dynamics
Fazilah Nothlawala, Bereneice Sephton, Pedro Ornelas +6
Skyrmions are a particle-like topology with a quantised skyrmion number, realised across condensed matter and photonic platforms alike. In quantum photonics, they constitute an eme…
Dual-wavelength quantum skyrmions from liquid crystal topological defect
Mwezi Koni, Fazilah Nothlawala, Vagharshak Hakobyan +3
We propose a spin-orbit strategy for generating dual-wavelength quantum skyrmions, realized either as entangled photon pairs at dual wavelengths or as heralded single-photon states…
Wavelength-adaptive spin-orbit orbital angular momentum management in three-wave mixing
Kiki Dekkers, Mwezi Koni, Vagharshak Hakobyan +5
Here we propose the use of an adjustable liquid crystal spin-orbit device to shape bi-colour structured light to create bimodal states. We demonstrate the proof-of-principle for tw…
Emulating quantum computing with optical matrix multiplication
Mwezi Koni, Hadrian Bezuidenhout, Isaac Nape
Optical computing harnesses the speed of light to perform vector-matrix operations efficiently. It leverages interference, a cornerstone of quantum computing algorithms, to enable…
