Disorder and dephasing as control knobs for light transport in optical fiber cavity networks

Silvia Viciani, Stefano Gherardini, Manuela Lima +2

Transport phenomena represent a very interdisciplinary topic with applications in many fields of science, such as physics, chemistry, and biology. In this context, the possibility…

Observation of noise-assisted transport in an all-optical cavity-based network

Silvia Viciani, Manuela Lima, Marco Bellini +1

Recent theoretical and experimental efforts have shown the remarkable and counter-intuitive role of noise in enhancing the transport efficiency of complex systems. Here, we realize…

Single-photon excitation of a coherent state: catching the elementary step of stimulated light emission

Alessandro Zavatta, Silvia Viciani, Marco Bellini

When a single quantum of electromagnetic field excitation is added to the same spatio-temporal mode of a coherent state, a new field state is generated that exhibits intermediate p…

Tomographic reconstruction of the single-photon Fock state by high-frequency homodyne detection

Alessandro Zavatta, Silvia Viciani, Marco Bellini

A single-photon Fock state has been generated by means of conditional preparation from a two-photon state emitted in the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion. A recent…

Recurrent fourth-order interference dips and peaks with a comb-like two-photon entangled state

Alessandro Zavatta, Silvia Viciani, Marco Bellini

We demonstrate full selective control over the constructive or destructive character of fourth-order recurring interferences in a modified version of a HOM interferometer using com…
