A universal programmable detector is a device that can be tuned to perform any desired measurement on a given quantum system, by changing the state of an ancilla. With a finite dimension d for the ancilla only approximate universal…

Free-space optics (FSO) offer promising solutions in wireless systems where many different devices need to communicate and interoperate, exchanging massive amounts of data as in communication and sensor networks, and in technologies for…
Linear discrete diffraction of light within a waveguide array allows control over the longitudinal spatial profile of light. We propose a method of using this control to effectively modulate the nonlinearity in a spontaneous four wave…
Selective on-chip optical filters with high rejection levels are key components for a wide range of advanced photonic circuits. However, maximum achievable rejection in state-of-the-art on-chip devices is seriously limited by phase errors…
