Ultrafast time-division demultiplexing of polarization-entangled photons.
Maximizing the information transmission rate through quantum channels is essential for practical implementation of quantum communication. Time-division multiplexing is an approach for which the ultimate rate requires the ability to manipulate and detect single photons on ultrafast time scales while preserving their quantum correlations. Here we demonstrate the demultiplexing of a train of pulse...
متن کاملTriggered single photons from a quantum dot.
We demonstrate a new method for generating triggered single photons. After a laser pulse generates excitons inside a single quantum dot, electrostatic interactions between them and the resulting spectral shifts allow a single emitted photon to be isolated. Correlation measurements show a reduction of the two-photon probability to 0.12 times the value for Poisson light. Strong antibunching persi...
متن کاملIndistinguishable photons from a single molecule.
We report the results of coincidence counting experiments at the output, of a Michelson interferometer using the zero-phonon-line emission of a single molecule at 1.4 K. Under continuous wave excitation, we observe the absence of coincidence counts as an indication of two-photon interference. This corresponds to the observation of Hong-Ou-Mandel correlations and proves the suitability of the ze...
متن کاملAn e!cient source of single photons: a single quantum dot in a micropost microcavity
We have used a single quantum dot in a micropost microcavity to generate triggered single photons. Coupling between the quantum-dot dipole and the con8ned microcavity mode leads to a large enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate. This, in turn, leads to e!cient coupling of the emitted photons into a single traveling-wave mode. Optimization of the microcavity design should lead to nearly un...
متن کاملIntegrated frequency comb source of heralded single photons.
We report an integrated photon pair source based on a CMOS-compatible microring resonator that generates multiple, simultaneous, and independent photon pairs at different wavelengths in a frequency comb compatible with fiber communication wavelength division multiplexing channels (200 GHz channel separation) and with a linewidth that is compatible with quantum memories (110 MHz). It operates in...
