On-chip low loss heralded source of pure single photons.
A key obstacle to the experimental realization of many photonic quantum-enhanced technologies is the lack of low-loss sources of single photons in pure quantum states. We demonstrate a promising solution: generation of heralded single photons in a silica photonic chip by spontaneous four-wave mixing. A heralding efficiency of 40%, corresponding to a preparation efficiency of 80% accounting for ...
متن کاملPure Photons for Quantum Communications
The visionaries of quantum information foresee an era where illicit eavesdropping on fiber-optic communications will be prohibited by the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics. If each qubit of information is conveyed by a single, indivisible photon, then it cannot be intercepted without attracting the notice of the intended recipient. Yet in practice, photons do not ordinarily travel alone: a ...
متن کاملQuantum Mechanics of Photons
We present a short review of the concept of photon wave function and the photon wave equation which represents the Schrödinger equation for the photon. Photon wave function puts the photon on the same footing as particles with mass and presents the first quantization formulation for electromagnetic fields. Because the photon has zero rest mass and it always moves with speed of light, the quantu...
متن کاملManaging photons for quantum information processing.
We study distinguishing information in the context of photonic quantum interference tailored for practical implementations of quantum information processing schemes. In particular, we consider the character of single-photon states optimized for multiple-source interference experiments and for experiments relying on Bell-state measurement and arrive at specific design criteria for photons produc...
متن کاملA Quantum Imager for Intensity Correlated Photons
We report on a device capable of imaging second-order spatio-temporal correlations g(x, τ) between photons. The imager is based on a monolithic array of singlephoton avalanche diodes (SPADs) implemented in CMOS technology and a simple algorithm to treat multiphoton time-of-arrival distributions from different SPAD pairs. It is capable of 80 ps temporal resolution with fluxes as low as 10 photon...
