Engineering continuous and discrete variable quantum vortex states by nonlocal photon subtraction in a reconfigurable photonic chip

David Barral, Jesús Liñares, Daniel Balado

We study the production of entangled two- and N-mode quantum states of light in optical waveguides. To this end, we propose a quantum photonic circuit that produces a reconfigurabl…

Detection of two-mode spatial quantum states of light by electro-optic integrated directional couplers

David Barral, Mark G. Thompson, Jesús Liñares

We study both manipulation and detection of two-mode spatial quantum states of light by means of a reconfigurable integrated device built in an electro-optical material in a Kolgel…

Coupling quasi-phase matching: entanglement buildup in nonlinear waveguide arrays

David Barral, Nadia Belabas, Kamel Bencheikh +1

Wavevector quasi-phase matching was devised in the 1960s as a way to boost nonlinear interactions with efficient quantum noise squeezing as one outstanding outcome. In the era of q…

Zero supermode-based multipartite entanglement in nonlinear waveguides arrays

David Barral, Kamel Bencheikh, Nadia Belabas +1

We show that arrays of nonlinear waveguides in the second harmonic generation regime are a promising source of continuous-variable entanglement. We indeed demonstrate ana…

Symmetry-based analytical solutions to the χ^{(2)} nonlinear directional coupler

David Barral, Kamel Bencheikh, Peter J. Olver +2

In general the ubiquitous χ^{(2)} nonlinear directional coupler, where nonlinearity and evanescent coupling are intertwined, is nonintegrable. We rigorously demonstrate that matchi…

Comment on "Generating a perfect quantum optical vortex"

David Barral, Jesús Liñares

In a recent article, Banerji et al. introduced a novel quantum state of light, coined as the perfect quantum optical vortex state [Phys. Rev. A 94, 053838 (2016)] due to its mathem…
