Single-photon Sources and Detectors Dictionary

September 7, 2023
Author(s)
Joshua Bienfang, Thomas Gerrits, Paulina Kuo, Alan Migdall, Sergey Polyakov, Oliver T. Slattery
The intention of this dictionary is to define relevant terms and metrics used in the characterization of single-photon detectors and sources with the goal to promote better understanding and communication of those metrics across the single-photon

Experimental demonstration of local area entanglement distribution between two distant nodes, coexisting with classical synchronization

Anouar Rahmouni, Paulina Kuo, Yicheng Shi, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Nijil Lal Cheriya Koyyottummal, Ivan Burenkov, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Mheni Merzouki, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov, Oliver T. Slattery, Thomas Gerrits
We successfully demonstrated polarization entanglement distribution and classical time synchronization using a high-accuracy precision time protocol between two quantum nodes located 250 meters apart using a single fiber simultaneously carrying both

Ivan Burenkov, Alexandra Semionova, FNU Hala, Thomas Gerrits, Anouar Rahmouni, DJ Anand, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Oliver T. Slattery, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
We investigate the coexistence of clock synchronization protocols with quantum signals in a common single-mode optical fiber. By measuring optical noise between 1500 nm to 1620 nm we demonstrate a potential for up to 100 quantum DWDM channels coexisting

FNU Nur Fajar Rizqi Annafianto, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Ivan Burenkov, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
We experimentally demonstrate a quantum-measurement-based receiver for a range of modulation schemes and alphabet lengths in a telecom C-band. We attain symbol error rates below the shot noise limit for all the studied modulation schemes and the alphabet

White Rabbit-assisted quantum network node synchronization with quantum channel coexistence

May 7, 2022
Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Ivan Burenkov, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Anouar Rahmouni, DJ Anand, FNU Hala, Oliver T. Slattery, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
We show that the Ethernet-based time transfer protocol 'White Rabbit' can synchronize two distant quantum-networked nodes to within 4 ps, enabling HOM interference at >90 % visibility using 17.6 ps FWHM single-photons coexisting with White Rabbit.

Resource optimization of quantum-enabled channels using novel modulation schemes

July 21, 2021
Author(s)
Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, FNU Nur Fajar Rizqi Annafianto, Ivan Burenkov, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
We introduce new practical modulation schemes inspired by the quantum measurement. We experimentally show that our quantum-enabled communication system optimizes the combined resource efficiency (CRE) beyond the classical, shot-noise-limited CRE.

Portable bioluminescent platform for in vivo monitoring of biological processes in non-transgenic animals

May 11, 2021
Author(s)
Aleksey Yevtodiyenko, Arkadiy Bazhin, Pavlo Khodakivskyi, Aurelien Godinat, Gyslain Budin, Marina Kunchulia, Giorgio Pietramaggiori, Sandra Scherer, Elena Goun, Sergey Polyakov, George P. Eppeldauer
Bioluminescent imaging (BLI) is one of the most powerful and widely used preclinical imaging modalities. However, the current technology relies on the use of transgenic luciferase-expressing cells and animals and therefore can only be applied to a limited

Practical quantum-enhanced receivers for classical communication

April 20, 2021
Author(s)
Ivan Burenkov, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Sergey Polyakov
Communication is an integral part of human life. Today, optical pulses are the preferred information carriers for long-distance communication. The exponential growth in data leads to a "capacity crunch" in the underlying physical systems. One of the

Coherent optical processes with an all-optical atomic simulator

January 4, 2021
Author(s)
Ivan Burenkov, Sergey Polyakov, Olga Tikhonova, Irina Novikova
We show how novel photonic devices such as broadband quantum memory and efficient quantum frequency transduction can be implemented using three-wave mixing processes in a 1D array of nonlinear waveguides evanescently coupled to nearest neighbors. We do

November 19, 2020
Author(s)
Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Ivan Burenkov, FNU Nur Fajar Rizqi Annafianto, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
We implement the cyclic quantum receiver based on the theoretical proposal of Roy Bondurant and demonstrate experimentally below the shot-noise limit (SNL) discrimination of quadrature phase-shift keying signals (PSK). We also experimentally test the

FPGA Implementation of a Low Latency and High SFDR Direct Digital Synthesizer for Resource-Efficient Quantum-Enhanced Communication

FNU Nur Fajar Rizqi Annafianto, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Ivan Burenkov, Hasan Urgurdag, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
In most modulation schemes for a telecommunication system, a fast and efficient sinusoidal signal generator is needed. Here we report on an FPGA implementation of a versatile CORDIC Based Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS). Most commercial lightwave

Time-Resolving Quantum Measurement Enables Energy-Efficient, Large-Alphabet Communication

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
Ivan Burenkov, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
Information exchange requires a measurement of physical states. Because quantum measurements enable accuracy beyond the classical shot-noise limit, they are successfully used to develop measurement tools and applications. In particular, quantum-measurement

Author(s)
Kumel H. Kagalwala, Fan Haoquan, Sergey Polyakov, Alan L. Migdall, Elizabeth A. Goldschmidt
We study, theoretically and experimentally, electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in two di erent solid-state systems. Unlike many implementations in homogeneously broadened media, these systems exhibit inhomogeneous broadening of their optical

Effects of resonant-laser excitation on the emission properties in a single quantum dot

March 27, 2018
Author(s)
Sergey Polyakov, Vivien Loo, Edward Flagg, Glenn S. Solomon, Olivier Gazzano, Tobias Huber
While many solid-state emitters can be optically excited non-resonantly, resonant excitation is necessary for many quantum information protocols as it often maximizes the non-classicality of the emitted light. Here, we study the resonance fluorescence in a

February 21, 2018
Author(s)
Sergey Polyakov, Ivan Burenkov, Olga Tikhonova
Quantum mechanics allows measurements that surpass the fundamental sensitivity limits of classical methods. To benefit from the quantum advantage in a practical setting, the receiver should use communication channel resources optimally; this can be done

Author(s)
Tim O. Thomay, Sergey Polyakov, Elizabeth A. Goldschmidt, Glenn S. Solomon, Olivier Gazzano, Vivien Loo
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, as
