Abstract

We present a high efficiency single photon source based on a Rydberg ensemble. Additionally, we demonstrate Hong Ou Mandel interference between photons from this source and photons generated from a trapped barium ion.

Single Atom – Single Photon Interfaces

In an experimental system of two distant ion traps we trap simultaneously strings of Ca+ ions and observe Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between their scattered photons. We also generate entangled photon pairs whose frequency and bandwidth are matched to an absorption line in the ions, and work towards heralded single photon – single ion interaction.

Using spontaneous four-wave mixing in a 3-stage nonlinear interferometer for temporal mode shaping, we efficiently generate heralded single photons in single-mode, evidenced by a visibility of 90% in Hong–Ou–Mandel interference between independent sources.

Entanglement generation and manipulation in the Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment: a hidden scenario beyond two-photon interference

Li-Kai Yang, Han Cai, Tao Peng +1 more

Abstract The Hong−Ou−Mandel (HOM) effect was long believed to be a two-photon interference phenomenon. It describes the fact that two indistinguishable photons mixed at a beam splitter will bunch together to one of the two output modes. Considering the two single-photon emitters such as trapped ions, we explore a hidden scenario of the HOM effect, where entanglement can be generated between the two ions when a single photon is detected by one of the detectors. A second photon emitted by the entangled photon sources will be subsequently detected by the same detector. However, we can also control the fate of the second photon by manipulating the entangled state. Instead of two-photon interference, the phase of the entangled state is responsible for the photon’s path in our proposal. Toward a feasible experimental realization, we conduct a quantum jump simulation on the system to show its robustness against experimental errors.

Joint Spectral Measurements at the Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference Dip

Thomas Gerrits, Francesco Marsili, Varun Boehm Verma +5 more

We employed a 2-channel single-photon detection system with high detection efficiency and low jitter to characterize the joint spectral probability distribution of correlated photons emerging from a Hong-Ou-Mandel interference arrangement. The high detection efficiency allows simultaneous measurement of all frequency components emerging from the source. The results show that the photons show an evolution from bunching to anti-bunching by the entangling beamsplitter of the HOM interferometer.
