Two-photon quantum state engineering in nonlinear photonic nanowires
We propose and analyze a generic technique to engineer the two-photon quantum state generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) in nonlinear photonic nanowires using any suitable material system. Through dispersion engineering in nanowires, the group velocity of each photon involved in the SPDC process can be tuned such that pure heralded single photons or maximally polarization e...
متن کاملRetrodictive quantum optical state engineering
Although it has been known for some time that quantum mechanics can be formulated in a way that treats prediction and retrodiction on an equal footing, most attention in engineering quantum states has been devoted to predictive states, that is, states associated with a preparation event. Retrodictive states, which are associated with a measurement event and propagate backwards in time, are also...
متن کاملEfficient optical quantum state engineering.
We discuss a novel method of efficiently producing multiphoton states using repeated spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Specifically, by attempting down-conversion several times, we can pseudodeterministically add photons to a mode, producing various several-photon states, e.g., Fock states and N00N states (number-path entangled states of the form |N(A), 0(B)>+|0(A), N(B)>). This scheme is...
متن کاملEngineering two-photon high-dimensional states through quantum interference
Many protocols in quantum science, for example, linear optical quantum computing, require access to large-scale entangled quantum states. Such systems can be realized through many-particle qubits, but this approach often suffers from scalability problems. An alternative strategy is to consider a lesser number of particles that exist in high-dimensional states. The spatial modes of light are one...
متن کاملTwo-photon quantum dot excitation during optical trapping.
A single CW infrared laser beam can simultaneously trap and excite an individual colloidal quantum dot. Though the laser light is relatively weak, the excitation occurs through two-photon absorption. This finding eliminates the demand for an excitation light source in addition to a trapping laser in nanoscale experiments with simultaneous force-manipulation and quantum dot visualization. Also, ...
