  1. Influence of pump coherence on the quantum properties of spontaneous parametric down-conversion

    2018 · Physica Scripta

    Abstract The correlation properties of the pump field in spontaneous parametric down-conversion are crucial in determining the degree of entanglement of generated signal and idler photons. We find theoretically that continuous-variable entanglement of the transverse …

  2. Experimental realization of wave-packet dynamics in cyclic quantum walks

    2019 · Optica

    Quantum walks present novel tools for redesigning quantum algorithms, universal quantum computations, and quantum simulators. Hitherto, one- and two-dimensional quantum systems (lattices) have been simulated and studied with photonic systems. Here, we report the photonic …

  3. Two-photon interference: the Hong–Ou–Mandel effect

    2020 · Reports on Progress in Physics

    Nearly 30 years ago, two-photon interference was observed, marking the beginning of a new quantum era. Indeed, two-photon interference has no classical analogue, giving it a distinct advantage for a range of applications. The peculiarities …

  4. Entanglement-Based Quantum Information Technology

    2023 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    Entanglement is a quintessential quantum mechanical phenomenon with no classical equivalent. First discussed by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen and formally introduced by Schrödinger in 1935, entanglement has grown from a scientific debate to a radically …
