How well can superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors resolve photon number?
Timon Schapeler, Niklas Lamberty, Thomas Hummel +5
We apply principal component analysis (PCA) to a set of electrical output signals from a commercially available superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) to investiga…
Low-noise Balanced Homodyne Detection with Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors
Maximilian Protte, Timon Schapeler, Jan Sperling +1
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have been widely used to study the discrete nature of quantum states of light in the form of photon-counting experiments.…
Pyroelectric Influence on Lithium Niobate During the Thermal Transition for Cryogenic Integrated Photonics
Frederik Thiele, Thomas Hummel, Nina Amelie Lange +8
Lithium niobate has emerged as a promising platform for integrated quantum optics, enabling efficient generation, manipulation, and detection of quantum states of light. However, i…
Degenerate Photons from a Cryogenic Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion Source
Nina Amelie Lange, Timon Schapeler, Jan Philipp Höpker +2
We demonstrate the generation of degenerate photon pairs from spontaneous parametric down-conversion in titanium in-diffused waveguides in lithium niobate at cryogenic temperatures…
All optical operation of a superconducting photonic interface
Frederik Thiele, Thomas Hummel, Adam N. McCaughan +7
Advanced electro-optic processing combines electrical control with optical modulation and detection. For quantum photonic applications these processes must be carried out at the si…
