Integrated spatial multiplexing of heralded single-photon sources
The non-deterministic nature of photon sources is a key limitation for single-photon quantum processors. Spatial multiplexing overcomes this by enhancing the heralded single-photon yield without enhancing the output noise. Here the intrinsic statistical limit of an individual source is surpassed by spatially multiplexing two monolithic silicon-based correlated photon pair sources in the telecom...
متن کاملIndistinguishable heralded single photon generation via relative temporal multiplexing of two sources.
Generating N single photons simultaneously is a formidable challenge due to the lack of deterministic single photon sources. Recent work [New J. Phys. 19, 063013 (2017] has proposed a relative multiplexing scheme that can enhance the N single photons probability with a minimum of active switching resources. We experimentally demonstrate relative temporal multiplexing on two photon sources with ...
متن کاملSingle and Entangled Photon Sources
This paper explores the fundamentals and applications of single and entangled photon sources. These sources are the ground works for advances in quantum communications, ranging from quantum cryptography to topics as peculiar as quantum teleportation. Single Photon Sources I. What is a Single Photon Source? A single photon source is an emitter of light that has all of its photons separated in ti...
متن کاملSingle and Entangled Photon Sources
The possibility of totally secure communication through the application of quantum mechanical properties was introduced in 1984 by Bennett and Brassard in their paper, “Quantum Cryptography: Public Key Distribution and Coin Tossing”. As Bennett and Brassard outlined, quantum communication makes it impossible for an eavesdropper to intercept a message without detection by the desired parties. Th...
