Polychromatic Electric Field Knots

Manuel F. Ferrer-Garcia, Alessio D'Errico, Alicia Sit +2

The polarization of a monochromatic optical beam lies in a plane, and in general, is described by an ellipse, known as the polarization ellipse. The polarization ellipse in the tig…

Two-photon interference: the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect

FrédÉric Bouchard, Alicia Sit, Yingwen Zhang +5

Nearly 30 years ago, two-photon interference was observed, marking the beginning of a new quantum era. Indeed, two-photon interference has no classical analogue, giving it a distin…

Underwater quantum communication over a 30-meter flume tank

Felix Hufnagel, Alicia Sit, Frédéric Bouchard +5

Underwater quantum communication has recently been explored using polarization and orbital angular momentum. Here, we show that spatially structured modes, e.g., a coherent superpo…

Characterization of an underwater channel for quantum communications in the Ottawa River

Felix Hufnagel, Alicia Sit, Florence Grenapin +8

We examine the propagation of optical beams possessing different polarization states and spatial modes through the Ottawa River in Canada. A Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor is used…

Orbital angular momentum and energy loss characterization of plasmonic excitations in metallic nanostructures in TEM

Matteo Zanfrognini, Enzo Rotunno, Stefano Frabboni +4

Recently, a new device to measure the Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) electronic spectrum after elastic/inelastic scattering in a transmission electron microscope has been introduce…

Quantum process tomography of a high-dimensional quantum communication channel

Frédéric Bouchard, Felix Hufnagel, Dominik Koutný +5

The characterization of quantum processes, e.g. communication channels, is an essential ingredient for establishing quantum information systems. For quantum key distribution protoc…
