Abstract

We study the propagation of nonclassical light through arrays of coupled linear photonic waveguides and introduce some sets of refractive indices and coupling parameters that provide a closed-form propagator in terms of orthogonal polynomials. We present propagation examples of nonclassical states of light—single photon, coherent state, path-entangled state, and two-mode squeezed vacuum—impinging into two-waveguide couplers and a photonic lattice producing coherent transport.

Transfer of non-classical features and quantum states of light in circularly coupled waveguide arrays

Atmadev Rai, Amit Rai

Abstract We investigate the applicability of the circular arrays of coupled single-mode optical waveguides in transferring the non-classical state of light for quantum information processing. We study the nonclassical states of light, such as a single-photon Fock state, a two-photon NOON state, a single-mode squeezed state and a two-mode squeezed state as inputs to the lattice, which are key resources for various applications in the field of quantum information science. In addition, for comparison, we also examine a coherent state. We investigate the transport of non-classical features and quantum states of light from one waveguide mode to another. For the single and two-mode squeezed states, we perform a detailed study of the evolution of the squeezing. Our work highlights the potential of the circular arrays of optical waveguides platform for the transport of non-classical features and quantum states of light. We expect our results should have applications in the physical implementation of photonic quantum technologies.

Simulation of two-mode squeezing in photonic waveguide lattices

Simon Stützer, Alexander S. Solntsev, Stefan Nolte +3 more

We show how classical light can be used to simulate a nonclassical quantum process. Specially modulated optical waveguides were utilized to emulate two-mode squeezed vacuum states as the light amplitudes in our arrays correspond to the photon number distribution of the squeezed states. In our experiments demonstrate a transition from photon number growth to periodic Bloch oscillations for increased phase mismatch.

Nonclassical light in array of single mode optical waveguides

Ali Rostami, Alisa Javadi

We investigate propagation of squeezed light in array of coupled waveguides which has tremendous potential for applications in engineering. We take a look at the possibility of Talbot effect with squeezed states of light. We also demonstrate how Hong-Ou-Mandel effect may be engineered to be relatively immune to fabrication imperfections.

Non-classical light in a J x photonic lattice

Manoranjan Swain, Amit Rai

Abstract We report the study of non-classical light in a photonic lattice having a parabolic coupling distribution, also known as a J x photonic lattice. We focus on a two-photon Fock state, a two-photon N 00 N state, a single-mode squeezed state and a coherent state as inputs to the lattice. We investigate the possibility of a perfect transfer of the mean photon number as well as the quantum state from one waveguide mode to another. We study photon–photon correlation for the two-photon N 00 N state. For the single-mode squeezed state we perform a detailed study of the evolution of the squeezing factor and entanglement between the waveguide modes. Our findings suggest a perfect transfer of the average photon number in all cases and a perfect transfer of the quantum state in the cases of the two-photon Fock state and the two-photon N 00 N state only, but not in the cases of the squeezed and coherent states. Our results should have applications in the physical implementation of photonic continuous-variable quantum-information processing.
