Quantum Information and Measurement (QIM)

Simultaneous, full characterization of a single-photon state

Abstract

Nonclassical light can be characterized by the state purity and indistinguishability, usually using multiple measurements. We demonstrate an efficient scheme to simultaneously characterize a quantum light source using two number-resolving detectors, here simulated by four single-photon detectors.

Single-shot, full characterization of a single-photon state

Quantum light parameters (purity, indistinguishability,…) are usually determined using multiple sequential measurements. We demonstrate an efficient single-shot scheme to characterize a quantum dot light using two number-resolving detectors, here simulated by four single-photon detectors.

Simultaneous, full characterization of a single-photon state using semiconductor quantum-dot light

Tim O. Thomay, Sergey V. Polyakov, Olivier Gazzano +3 more

As single-photon sources become more mature and are used more often in quantum information, communications and measurement applications, their characterization becomes more important. Single-photon-like light is often characterized by its brightness, and two quantum properties: the single-photon composition and the photon indistinguishability. While it is desirable to obtain these quantities from a single measurement, currently two or more measurements are required. Here, we simultaneously determine the brightness, the single photon purity, the indistinguishability, and the statistical distribution of Fock states to third order for a quantum light source. The measurement uses a pair of two-photon (n = 2) number-resolving detectors. n > 2 number-resolving detectors provide no additional advantage in the single-photon characterization. The new method extracts more information per experimental trial than a conventional measurement for all input states, and is particularly more e cient for statistical mixtures of photon states. Thus, using this n=2, number- resolving detector scheme will provide advantages in a variety of quantum optics measurements and systems.

Characterization of Quantum States of Light

Robert B. A. Adamson

I present a series of experimental and theoretical advances in the field of quantum state estimation. Techniques for measuring the quantum state of light that were originally developed for distinguishable\nphotons fail when the particles are indistinguishable. I develop new methods for handling indistinguishability in quantum state estimation. The technique I present provides the first complete description of states of experimentally indistinguishable photons. It allows me to derive the number of parameters needed to describe an arbitrary state and to quantify distinguishability. I demonstrate its use by applying it to the measurement of the\nquantum polarization state of two and three-photon systems.\n\nState characterization is optimal when no redundant information is collected about the state of the system. I present the results of the first optimal characterization of the polarization state of a two-photon system. I show an improved estimation power over the previous state of the art. I also show how the optimal measurements lead to a new description of the quantum state in terms\nof a discrete Wigner function.\n\nIt is often desirable to describe the quantum state of a system in terms of\nproperties that are not themselves quantum-mechanical observables. This usually requires a full characterization of the state followed by a calculation of the properties from the parameters characterizing the state. \nI apply a technique that allows such properties to be determined directly, without a full characterization of the state.\nThis allows one such property, the purity, to be determined in a single measurement, regardless of the size of the system, while\nthe conventional method of determining purity requires a number of measurements that scales exponentially with the system size.

Loss-tolerant characterization of nonclassical photonic states

We experimentally investigate a method of directly characterizing the photon number distribution of nonclassical light that is tolerant to losses; makes use of standard binary detectors; and only requires a single set of measurements.

Simultaneous, Full Characterization of a Single-Photon State

Tim O. Thomay, Sergey V. Polyakov, Olivier Gazzano +5 more

Advances in quantum optics and quantum information technologies increasingly require a way to fully understand the state of single indistinguishable photons. While previous approaches have needed two or more measurements, a new experiment demonstrates a way to characterize single-photon states with just one measurement.

Joint Characterization of Two Single Photon Detectors with a Fiber-based Source of Entangled Photon Pairs

Daniel E. Jones, Brian T. Kirby, Michael Brodsky

By simultaneously measuring individual and coincidence counts of two single photon detectors connected to an entangled photon pair source, we extract the detector efficiencies, the average number of generated pairs, and the Raman noise floor.
