No free lunch: the trade-off between heralding rate and efficiency in microresonator-based heralded single photon sources

2016 · Optics Letters

Generation of heralded single photons has recently been demonstrated using spontaneous four-wave mixing in integrated microresonators. While the results of coincidence measurements on the generated photon pairs from these systems show promise for their utility …

Hybrid spatiotemporal architectures for universal linear optics

2019 · Physical Review A

We present two hybrid linear-optical architectures that simultaneously exploit spatial and temporal degrees of freedom of light to effect arbitrary discrete unitary transformations. Our architectures combine the benefits of spatial implementations of linear optics, namely, …
