We report the first experimental demonstration that two light pulses were made motionless and interacted with each other via a medium. The interaction time is, in principle, as long as possible and a considerable efficiency can be achieved…

We study how to achieve, manipulate, and switch classical or quantum nonreciprocal effects of light with a spinning Kerr resonator. In particular, we show that even when there is no classical nonreciprocity (i.e., with the same mean number…

Nonreciprocal optical systems have found many applications altering the linear transmission of light as a function of its propagation direction. Here we consider a new class of nonreciprocity which appears in photon pair correlations and…

Photon loss rates set an effective upper limit on the size of computations that can be run on current linear optical quantum devices. We present a family of techniques designed to mitigate the effects of photon loss on both output…
