Abstract

We demonstrate the underlying mechanism for one version of quantum-enhanced telescopy, using multiple interconnected Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometers to re-cover the visibility amplitude of the source of light in the presence of arbitrary turbulence.

Improving Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution in Turbulence Through Dynamic Attenuation

Brian J. Rollick, George Siopsis, Bing Qi

We propose a scheme to tether transmittance fluctuations due to atmospheric turbulence that significantly improves the Hong-Ou-Mandel visibility and secure key rate in free-space measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution under turbulence.

Matching two long interferometric pathlengths using low temporal coherence light for finding Hong–Ou–Mandel dip

Keith A. Wyman, Noah S. Everett, Anil K. Patnaik

Abstract Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) dip from a biphoton source in a two-photon interferometer provides a myriad of quantum tools for quantum communication and sensing. But the stringent requirements for spatial coherence between the photon pair makes it prohibitively difficult to observe high-fidelity HOM dip in long-distance free-space implementations, e.g., for the photon pairs involved in quantum communication need to match the two path lengths within a few 10 s of micron because of the short coherence width of the two-photon wave-packet. While many techniques for the pathlength balancing of two interferometric arms have been studied and applied extensively, such balancing is further complicated in presence of turbulence in long-distance free-space propagation. On a table-top testbed with each arm of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) $$\sim 10$$ ∼ 10 -meter long in our turbulent atmospheric simulator for qubit (TASQ), we have employed below-threshold lasers to achieve classical low-coherence interferometry and show that we could narrow down the interrogation window for the pathlength balancing to obtain interference peak at the center. This method allowed us to reduce the interrogation distance for searching the HOM dip by four orders of magnitude, i.e., from tens of centimeters to a few tens of micron. Such pathlength balancing allowed realizing the HOM dip within $$160\,\upmu \textrm{m}$$ 160 μ m distance from the peak of the classical interference fringe. This technique could be helpful in a wide variety of long-pathlength interference-based quantum sensing.

Turbulence-free quantum ghost imaging experiments and results

Ronald E. Meyers, Keith S. Deacon, Arnold D. Tunick

Turbulence is a serious problem for long distance imaging such as from satellites or ground based telescopes. In this paper we discuss our turbulence-free ghost imaging1 approach that is virtually free from the degrading effects of turbulence. We discuss motivation for the experiments, theory, experimental setup, procedures, and results. The results suggest that thermal two-photon interference may not only be used to improve imaging through turbulence but may also lead to a resource for quantum information processing.
