Optimised Domain-engineered Crystals for Pure Telecom Photon Sources
Alexander Pickston, Francesco Graffitti, Peter Barrow +4
The ideal photon-pair source for building up multi-qubit states needs to produce indistinguishable photons with high efficiency. Indistinguishability is crucial for minimising erro…

Quantum networks will provide multi-node entanglement over long distances to enable secure communication on a global scale. Traditional quantum communication protocols consume pair…
Direct generation of tailored pulse-mode entanglement
Francesco Graffitti, Peter Barrow, Alexander Pickston +2
Photonic quantum technology increasingly uses frequency encoding to enable higher quantum information density and noise resilience. Pulsed time-frequency modes (TFM) represent a un…
Measurement Device Independent Verification of Quantum Channels
Francesco Graffitti, Alexander Pickston, Peter Barrow +5
The capability to reliably transmit and store quantum information is an essential building block for future quantum networks and processors. Gauging the ability of a communication…
Enhanced Multi-Qubit Phase Estimation in Noisy Environments by Local Encoding
Massimiliano Proietti, Martin Ringbauer, Francesco Graffitti +7
The first generation of multi-qubit quantum technologies will consist of noisy, intermediate-scale devices for which active error correction remains out of reach. To exploit such d…
Experimental test of local observer-independence
Massimiliano Proietti, Alexander Pickston, Francesco Graffitti +5
The scientific method relies on facts, established through repeated measurements and agreed upon universally, independently of who observed them. In quantum mechanics, the objectiv…
A Precision Experiment to Investigate Long-Lived Radioactive Decays
J. R. Angevaare, P. Barrow, L. Baudis +18
Radioactivity is understood to be described by a Poisson process, yet some measurements of nuclear decays appear to exhibit unexpected variations. Generally, the isotopes reporting…
Independent high-purity photons created in domain-engineered crystals
Francesco Graffitti, Peter Barrow, Massimiliano Proietti +2
Advanced photonic quantum technology relies on multi-photon interference which requires bright sources of high-purity single photons. Here, we implement a novel domain-engineering…
Assisted Macroscopic Quantumness
Farid Shahandeh, Martin Ringbauer, Massimiliano Proietti +8
It is commonly expected that quantum theory is universal, in that it describes the world at all scales. Yet, quantum effects at the macroscopic scale continue to elude our experime…
Search for Bosonic Super-WIMP Interactions with the XENON100 Experiment
XENON collaboration, E. Aprile, J. Aalbers +118
We present results of searches for vector and pseudo-scalar bosonic super-WIMPs, which are dark matter candidates with masses at the keV-scale, with the XENON100 experiment. XENON1…
