Tailored photon pair preparation relying on full group velocity matching in fibre-based spontaneous four wave mixing
Karina Garay-Palmett, Raúl Rangel-Rojo, Alfred B. U'Ren
We study photon pair generation through scalar spontaneous four-wave mixing in single-mode fibre and for frequency-degenerate pumps; we concentrate on source geometries which fulfi…
Generation of Fourier transform limited heralded single photons
Alfred B. U'Ren, Yasser Jeronimo-Moreno, Jose H. Garcia-Gracia
In this paper we study the spectral (temporal) properties of heralded single photon wavepackets, triggered by the detection of an idler photon in the process of parametric downconv…
Photon pair-state preparation with tailored spectral properties by spontaneous four-wave mixing in photonic-crystal fiber
K. Garay-Palmett, H. J. McGuinness, Offir Cohen +7
We study theoretically the generation of photon pairs by spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) in photonic crystal optical fiber. We show that it is possible to engineer two-photon s…
Characterization of the non-classical nature of conditionally prepared single photons
Alfred B. U'Ren, Christine Silberhorn, Jonathan L. Ball +2
A reliable single photon source is a prerequisite for linear optical quantum computation and for secure quantum key distribution. A criterion yielding a conclusive test of the sing…
Photon engineering for quantum information processing
A. B. U'Ren, K. Banaszek, I. A. Walmsley
We study distinguishing information in the context of quantum interference involving more than one parametric downconversion (PDC) source and in the context of polarization-entangl…
