How large is the quantum enhancement of two-photon absorption by time-frequency entanglement of photon pairs?

We present a theoretical proof that the “quantum enhancement” of two-photon absorption, thought to be a means to improve molecular spectroscopy and imaging, is tightly bounded by the physics of photonic entanglement and nonlinear response.

Quantum spectroscopy on a nonlinear photonic chip

Quantum spectroscopy is a powerful tool that is based on classically detecting one of the photons of a biphoton state to study how the other photon experiences the environment [1]. It is especially useful, since the signal photon can be read out in the visible range, where the detection is simple and affordable, while the idler photon can probe the optical properties in mid-infrared (MIR) and far-infrared (FIR) ranges, which typically requires expensive and bulky solutions when using conventional spectroscopic approaches. Quantum spectroscopy has been utilized to measure broadband refractive index dispersion [2] and domain structure [3] of solids in a single shot of a non-tunable continuous-wave laser, as well as to precisely determine the optical properties of gases [4].

Measurement principles for quantum spectroscopy of molecular materials with entangled photons

Luca Moretti, Esteban Rojas‐Gatjens, Lorenzo Uboldi +8 more

Nonlinear spectroscopy with quantum entangled photons is an emerging field of research that holds the promise to achieve superior signal-to-noise ratio and effectively isolate many-body interactions. Photon sources used for this purpose, however, lack the frequency tunability and spectral bandwidth demanded by contemporary molecular materials. Here, we present design strategies for efficient spontaneous parametric downconversion to generate biphoton states with adequate spectral bandwidth and at visible wavelengths. Importantly, we demonstrate, by suitable design of the nonlinear optical interaction, the scope to engineer the degree of spectral correlations between the photons of the pair. We also present an experimental methodology to effectively characterize such spectral correlations. Importantly, we believe that such a characterization tool can be effectively adapted as a spectroscopy platform to optically probe system-bath interactions in materials.
