Room-Temperature Quantum Optomechanics and Free-Electron Quantum Optics

Quantum optics studies how photons interact with other forms of matter, the understanding of which was crucial for the development of quantum mechanics as a whole. Starting from the photoelectric effect, the quantum property of light has led to the develop ...

Down-conversion of a single photon as a probe of many-body localization

Cristiano Ciuti

Decay of a particle into more particles is a ubiquitous phenomenon to interacting quantum systems, taking place in colliders, nuclear reactors or solids. In a nonlinear medium, even a single photon would decay by down-converting (splitting) into lower-freq ...

Microscopic origin of polarization-entangled Stokes-anti-Stokes photons in diamond

Christophe Marcel Georges Galland

Time-correlated Stokes-anti-Stokes (SaS) scattering has been studied in different transparent media, more frequently in diamond. While the nonclassical nature of the SaS scattered photons has been well established, the presence of entanglement in this spon ...

PET REBINNING WITH REGULARIZED DENSITY SPLINES

Michaël Unser

PET reconstruction algorithms have long relied on sinogram rebinning. However, as detectors grow smaller in a recent wave of cutting-edge scanners, individual sensors no longer accrue hundreds of photons. Instead, most detect a single photon or none at all ...

n-photon blockade with an n-photon parametric drive

Fabrizio Minganti, Wei Qin

We propose a mechanism to engineer an n-photon blockade in a nonlinear cavity with an n-photon parametric drive lambda(adagger n + an). When an n-photon-excitation resonance condition is satisfied, the presence of n photons in the cavity suppress ...

System, device and method for quantum correlation measurement with single photon avalanche diode arrays

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Ivan Michel Antolovic

A system for photon correlation of an illuminated object and/or a light source, including a light source for illuminating the object or to correlate, an optical system having an object-facing side configured to face the object or the light source and a pro ...

Effective photon mass and (dark) photon conversion in the inhomogeneous Universe

Kyrylo Bondarenko

Photons traveling cosmological distances through the inhomogeneous Universe experience a great variation in their in-medium induced effective mass. Using the EAGLE suite of hydrodynamical simulations, we infer the free electron distribution and thereby the ...

High-rate photon pairs and sequential Time-Bin entanglement with Si3N4 microring resonators

Tobias Kippenberg, Maxim Karpov

Integrated photonics is increasing in importance for compact, robust, and scalable enabling quantum technologies. This is particularly interesting for developing quantum communication networks, where resources need to be deployed in the field. We exploit p ...

Room temperature single photon emission from planar GaN/AlN quantum dot samples grown by MBE

Nicolas Grandjean, Gordon Jens Callsen, Sebastian Pascal Tamariz Kaufmann

We present an overview on the growth and the optical properties of GaN quantum dots (QDs) embedded in planar AlN grown on the following three different types of substrates: single AlN crystal, AlN on sapphire, and AIN on Si(111). QD density control over th ...

One-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensation of photons in a microtube

Oleksandr Kriuchkov

This paper introduces a quasiequilibrium one-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensation of photons trapped in a microtube. Light modes with a cutoff frequency (a photon's "mass") interact through different processes of absorption, emission, and scattering on m ...

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Tara Nanut, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Dipanwita Dutta

We report a measurement of the differential cross section of pi(0) pair production in single-tag two-photon collisions, gamma*gamma -> pi(0) pi(0), in e(+) e(-) scattering. The cross section is measured for Q(2) up to 30 GeV2, where Q(2) is the negative of ...

Energy correlations of photon pairs generated by a silicon microring resonator probed by Stimulated Four Wave Mixing

Matteo Galli, Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Davide Grassani

Compact silicon integrated devices, such as micro-ring resonators, have recently been demonstrated as efficient sources of quantum correlated photon pairs. The mass production of integrated devices demands the implementation of fast and reliable techniques ...

Single photons from dissipation in coupled cavities

Vincenzo Savona, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac

We propose a single-photon source based on a pair of weakly nonlinear optical cavities subject to a one-directional dissipative coupling. When both cavities are driven by mutually coherent fields, sub-Poissonian light is generated in the target cavity even ...

Proposal for an Optomechanical Bell Test

Christophe Marcel Georges Galland

Photons of a laser beam driving the upper motional sideband of an optomechanical cavity can decay into photon-phonon pairs by means of an optomechanical parametric process. The phononic state can subsequently be mapped to a photonic state by exciting the l ...
