Abstract

We demonstrate experimentally the generation of sum-frequency signal and heralded photons with non-classical correlations via spontaneous parametric down-conversion in AlGaAs nanodisks.

Giuseppe Marino, Alexander S. Solntsev, Lei Xu +12 more

We demonstrate experimentally sum-frequency generation in AlGaAs nano-resonators, establishing a quantum-classical correspondence with spontaneous parametric down-conversion. We predict that AlGaAs nano-resonators can be utilized as high-rate sources of photon pairs with non-classical correlations.

Generation and shaping of quantum photon-pair states in nonlinear metasurfaces

Andrey A. Sukhorukov

We present theoretical and experimental advances on photon-pair generation through spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in nonlinear nanostructures and metasurfaces, underpinning quantum entanglement engineering at sub-wavelength scale for photon shaping with tailored polarization and spatial correlations. We derive explicit theoretical expressions for the measurable photon counts and quantum correlations, incorporating material dispersion and absorption characteristics [Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 123901 (2016)], and demonstrate experimentally the generation of quantum heralded photon pairs from a single AlGaAs nanodisk [Optica 6, 1416 (2019)]. We further reveal the opportunities to enhance the generation rate through high-Q resonances including bound states in the continuum [doi:10.1117/12.2539888 (2019)]. We also outline the applications of metasurfaces for the manipulation and measurement of multi-photon quantum states for free-space quantum imaging and communications.
