An Easy Road to High NOON

Yaron R. Silberberg

‘High-NOON’ states were generated by multiphoton interference of ‘quantum’ down-converted light with a ‘classical’ coherent state. Super-resolving phase measurements with up to five entangled photons were demonstrated with a visibility higher than obtainable without entanglement.

Super-resolving single-photon number-path-entangled state and its generation

Wei Feng, Kebei Jiang, M. L. Lollie +2 more

In this paper, we propose two protocols for generating super-resolving single-photon (SRSP) number-path-entangled states from general maximally number-path-entangled NOON states. It is our purpose to show that, contrary to popular belief, a field in a single-photon state can carry multifold phase information. We also show that both protocols generate the desired state with different probabilities depending on the type of detectors being used. Such SRSP number-path-entangled states preserve high resolving power but lack the requirement of a multiphoton absorbing resist, which may serve as a proof-of-principle prototype for quantum lithography in the future.

Towards supersensitive optical phase measurement using a deterministic source of entangled multiphoton states

Giora Peniakov, Zu-En Su, Amir Beck +3 more

In principle, the use of entangled photons provides enhanced precision in optical phase measurements. This precision significantly surpasses the classical shot-noise limit, and thereby has many possible applications in science and technology. In practice, however, entangled multiphoton states have been generated so far using various intrinsically probabilistic and unscalable processes, thereby counteracting the advantages that the entangled photon states might have. The authors overcome these limitations here by using a quantum knitting machine, based on a single semiconductor quantum dot, to generate a polarization-entangled multiphoton state in a deterministic manner. The multiphoton state is then used to demonstrate super-sensitive optical phase measurement. The results pave the way for realizing genuine quantum enhanced optical measurements in the very near future.
