Projection-Based Denoising Method for Photon-Counting Energy-Resolving Detectors
In this paper, we present a novel projection-based novel noise reduction method for photon counting energy resolving detectors in Spectral Computed Tomography (CT) imaging. In order to denoise the projection data, a guidance image from all energy channels is computed, which employs a variant of the joint bilateral filter to denoise each energy bin individually. The method is evaluated by a simu...
متن کاملAtomic-vapor-based high efficiency optical detectors with photon number resolution.
The ability to detect very weak optical fields with high efficiency (>99%) and to distinguish the number of photons in a given time interval is a very challenging technical problem with enormous potential payoffs in quantum communications and information processing. We propose to employ an atomic vapor as the active medium, prepared in a specific quantum state using laser radiation. The absorpt...
متن کاملPhysics and application of photon number resolving detectors based on superconducting parallel nanowires
The Parallel Nanowire Detector (PND) is a photon number resolving (PNR) detector which uses spatial multiplexing on a subwavelength scale to provide a single electrical output proportional to the photon number. The basic structure of the PND is the parallel connection of several NbN superconducting nanowires (100 nm-wide, few nm-thick), folded in a meander pattern. PNDs were fabricated on 3-4 ...
متن کاملAlternate Scheme for Optical Cluster-state Generation without Number-resolving Photon Detectors
We design a controlled-phase gate for linear optical quantum computing by using photodetectors that cannot resolve photon number. An intrinsic error-correction circuit corrects errors introduced by the detectors. Our controlled-phase gate has a 1/4 success probability. Recent development in cluster-state quantum computing has shown that a two-qubit gate with non-zero success probability can bui...
متن کاملAbsolute efficiency estimation of photon-number-resolving detectors using twin beams.
A nonclassical light source is used to demonstrate experimentally the absolute efficiency calibration of a photon-number-resolving detector. The photon-pair detector calibration method developed by Klyshko for single-photon detectors is generalized to take advantage of the higher dynamic range and additional information provided by photon-number-resolving detectors. This enables the use of brig...
