Tailoring the spectral coherence of heralded single photons.
Currently, different techniques are known for synthesizing in a tunable fashion the frequency correlations of paired photons generated in spontaneous parametric downconversion (signal-idler correlations). We show that these same techniques can also be used to tune the first-order coherence properties of the signal or idler photons (signal-signal or idler-idler frequency correlations). In conseq...
متن کاملSpectral compression of single-photon-level laser pulse
We experimentally demonstrate that the bandwidth of single photons laser pulse is compressed by a factor of 58 in a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide chip. A positively chirped single photons laser pulse and a negatively chirped classical laser pulse are employed to produce a narrowband single photon pulse with new frequency through sum-frequency generation. In our experiment,...
متن کاملOrthogonal spectral coding of entangled photons.
We extend orthogonal optical coding, previously applied to multiuser classical communication networks, to entangled photons. Using a pulse shaper and sum-frequency generation for ultrafast coincidence detection, we demonstrate encoding and decoding of biphoton wave packets. Applying one code to the signal photon spreads the wave packet in time and creates a null at zero delay; filtering the idl...
متن کاملSingle and Entangled Photons
Quantum computing is a sought after technology that will greatly increase the speed and security of computations and communications. The understanding of quantum computing and information technology is dependent upon the understanding of quantum interactions. The difference between current computers and quantum computers lies in the fundamental units of information utilized. The qubit, which is...
متن کاملIndistinguishability of independent single photons
The indistinguishability of independent single photons is presented by decomposing the single photon pulse into the mixed state of different transform-limited pulses. The entanglement between single photons and outer environment or other photons induces the distribution of the center frequencies of those transform-limited pulses and makes photons distinguishable. Only the single photons with th...
