On-chip low loss heralded source of pure single photons.
A key obstacle to the experimental realization of many photonic quantum-enhanced technologies is the lack of low-loss sources of single photons in pure quantum states. We demonstrate a promising solution: generation of heralded single photons in a silica photonic chip by spontaneous four-wave mixing. A heralding efficiency of 40%, corresponding to a preparation efficiency of 80% accounting for ...

متن کاملDesign of bright, fiber-coupled and fully factorable photon pair sources
From quantum computation to quantum key distribution, many quantumenhanced applications rely on the ability to generate pure single-photons. Even though the process of spontaneous parametric downconversion is widely used as the basis for photon-pair sources, the conditions for pure heralded single-photon generation, taking into account both spectral and spatial degrees of freedom, have not been...
متن کاملHeralded generation of ultrafast single photons in pure quantum States.
We present an experimental demonstration of heralded single photons prepared in pure quantum states from a parametric down-conversion source. It is shown that, through controlling the modal structure of the photon pair emission, one can generate pairs in factorable states and thence eliminate the need for spectral filters in multiple-source interference schemes. Indistinguishable heralded photo...
متن کاملHeralded, pure-state single-photon source based on a Potassium Titanyl Phosphate waveguide.
We analyze the generation of single spatial mode, spectrally uncorrelated photon pairs via type II spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (KTP) waveguide using real experimental parameters. We show that this source can be used as an efficient, heralded, pure-state single-photon source.
