We use second and third harmonic generation microscopy to investigate the nonlinear optical response of GaAs nanocavities embedded in a gold film and compare them to bare GaAs nanocavities. Our results reveal that the surrounding metallic…
We study theoretically the two-center interferences occurring in high harmonic generation from diatomic molecules. By solving the time-dependent Schroedinger equation, either numerically or with the molecular strong-field approximation, we…
Plasmonic dimer antennas create strong field enhancement by squeezing light into a nanoscale gap. These optical hotspots are highly attractive for boosting nonlinear processes, such as harmonic generation, photoelectron emission, and…
Interferometric photon-correlation measurements, which correspond to the second-order intensity cross-correlations between the two output ports of an unbalanced Michelson interferometer, are sensitive to both amplitude and phase…
Unlike one-photon (first order) intensity correlation, two-photon (second order) intensity correlation is known to be impossible to achieve by any classical means. Over the last several decades, such quantum features have been intensively…
Two-color lasers with high coherence are paramount in precision measurement, accurate light-matter interaction, and low-noise photonic microwave generation. However, conventional two-color lasers often suffer from low coherence,…
Interference experiments with electrons in a vacuum can illuminate both the quantum and the nanoscale nature of the underlying physics. An interference experiment requires two coherent waves, which can be generated by splitting a single…
Identifying signatures of quantum coherent behaviour in photoactive systems that are maintained in stationary states away from thermal equilibrium is an open problem of wide interest in a variety of physical scenarios, including single…
On-chip integrated photonic circuits are crucial to further progress towards quantum technologies and in the science of quantum optics. Here we report precise control of single photon states and multi-photon entanglement directly on-chip.…
The extension of coherent $\omega$-$2\omega$ control schemes, recently implemented in free-electron lasers (FELs), to molecular systems offers new opportunities to control chemical dynamics on the electronic timescale, potentially allowing…
In this paper we describe theoretically quantum control of temporal correlations of entangled photons produced by collinear type II spontaneous parametric down-conversion. We examine the effect of spectral phase modulation of the signal or…
The performance of atom interferometers is commonly limited by the finite spectral acceptance of atomic beam splitters and mirrors, which restricts efficient coupling to atoms with large Doppler shifts and reduces the usable atomic flux.…
We report two-photon interference with continuous-wave multi-mode coherent light. We show that the two-photon interference, in terms of the detection time difference, reveals two-photon beating fringes with the visibility $V = 0.5$. While…
Electronic coherence is of utmost importance for the access and control of quantum-mechanical solid-state properties. Using a purely electronic observable, the photocurrent, we measure an electronic coherence time of 22 +/- 4 fs in…
We study photon emission by an ensemble of two-level systems, with strong inhomogeneous broadening and coupled to a cavity mode whose frequency has linear time-dependence. The analysis shows that, regardless the distribution of energy level…
Mixing the fields generated by different light sources has emerged as a powerful approach for engineering non-Gaussian quantum states. Understanding and controlling the resulting photon statistics is useful for emerging quantum technologies…
Dual and multi-wavelength lasers, i.e., lasers with the ability to emit at two or more wavelengths in a controlled fashion, represent an exciting new twist in laser physics. Harnessing the mode competition to control them better remains,…

Thermal light engineering is a field of considerable interest and potential. We study quantum light-matter interactions in a one-dimensional photonic crystal with two-level atoms as the active medium, replacing classical oscillators in…
The measured multi-dimensional spectral response of different light harvesting complexes exhibits oscillatory features which suggest an underlying coherent energy transfer. However, making this inference rigorous is challenging due to the…
