Modal input-output theory for quantum nanophotonics from the first-order Maxwell operator
We develop a quantum input-output theory for open photonic systems based on macroscopic quantum electrodynamics using the first-order electromagnetic Green's function.Plasmon modes in tilted three-dimensional nodal-ring semimetals. II. Vortex nodal ring
We investigate collective charge excitations in three-dimensional semimetals with dipole-like Berry-curvature (BC) profiles, focusing on vortex nodal-ring semimetals (VNRs) and Hopf semimetals (HSMs).Telecom-Band Optical Transitions of Erbium Atoms in Rare-Gas Solids
Rare-earth (RE) atoms, such as erbium (Er), have inner-shell optical transitions in the near-infrared, some of which are in the telecom bands.Additive solid immersion lenses for enhanced collection efficiency of shallow NV centers by pulsed laser deposition and structurization of high-k amorphous oxides
The negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy ($\mathrm{NV}^-$) defect in diamond can be used for quantum information processing via the readout of the radiative decay of the excited state into the ground…Inherent Turbulence Immunity of Vector Vortex Beams in Free Space Quantum Key Distribution
Orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing provides an infinite-dimensional discrete Hilbert space ideally suited for high-capacity free-space quantum key distribution (QKD).Thin-capping layer epitaxial quantum dots for near-field quantum photonics
Epitaxial quantum dots (QDs) are widely recognised as one of the best quantum light sources, given their good stability, brightness, quantum efficiency and coherence.Polarisation-resolved identification of spontaneous four-wave mixing processes in a multimode fused tapered fibre coupler
Integrated quantum photonics benefits from photon-pair sources that generate photons directly in waveguides, where they can be efficiently collected, routed, and manipulated.Rayleigh-Wood Threshold Controls Nonlinear Photon Correlations in Atomic Arrays
Two-dimensional atomic arrays provide versatile free-space quantum optical interfaces by coupling photons to collective lattice modes.Frequency comb generation in active optomechanical cavities
We numerically investigate frequency-comb generation in an electrically pumped vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser coupled to two mechanical modes of a suspended mirror.Fixed-Point Bifurcations and Path-Information Bounds in Nonlinear Exceptional-Point Sensing
Nonlinear exceptional points (NEPs) were proposed to circumvent the noise--responsivity cancellation that limits linear exceptional-point sensors.Optical measurement is almost quantum: Quantum inspired universal optical bounds
Inspired by results in quantum information, we report the development of a formalism for optical sensing which abstracts the details of specific optical systems and allows us to form general bounds…Confocal imaging from biphoton correlations
Confocal microscopy provides optical sectioning for three-dimensional imaging but conventionally relies on point-by-point scanning and physical pinholes, limiting imaging speed.Electronic Symmetry and Femtosecond Coherence Dynamics of Renner-Teller-Mixed Neutral Vibronic States in Carbon Dioxide
When non-adiabatic coupling mixes electronic states of a molecule, vibronic states of different electronic symmetry become interleaved across the same spectral region.Negative quasiprobabilities redistribute (and complex ones reduce) the information in unabsorbed photons
Negative Kirkwood--Dirac quasiprobabilities are credited with the quantum advantage of interaction-free measurement and postselected metrology.Transverse momentum as the counter-diabatic generator in bent waveguide couplers
Bending the axis of a mode-evolution coupler suppresses the nonadiabatic coupling between its supermodes, and bent couplers of this kind were recently shown to realize the counter-diabatic (CD)…Single-Photon Nonlinearity from a Nanobeam with a Quantum Dot
An efficient single-photon nonlinearity is a key resource for photonic quantum technologies.Second-order coherence properties of ultrafast polariton dynamics in plasmonic lattices
The first-order coherence properties of strongly coupled systems supporting polariton lasing and Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) have been thoroughly studied and show consistent results.Optically-Induced Modulation and Programming of Diamond Photonic Cavities
Single-crystal diamond combines exceptional optical, thermal, and mechanical properties while hosting optically addressable and spin-coherent colour centres, making it a promising platform for…Scanless quantum Fourier-transform mid-infrared spectroscopy for solids and surface analysis
Quantum infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a novel technique based on nonlinear interferometry and quantum sensing with undetected photons.Multi-Parameter Error Mitigation in Parametric Down-Conversion via SU(1, 1) Composite Segmentation
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion is a primary resource for generating non-classical light, yet phase mismatch fluctuations from temperature drift, angular misalignment, and domain fabrication…
