We develop a formalism based on a time-dependent wave-function ansatz to study correlations of photons emitted from a collection of two-level quantum emitters. We show how to simulate the system dynamics and evaluate the intensity of the…
We investigate the operation of a photon-number-resolving (PNR) detector consisting of a cascade of waveguide-coupled lambda-type emitters, where each waveguide-coupled emitter extracts a single photon from the input light and sends it to a…
Long-term observations of photoluminescence at the single-molecule level were until recently very diffcult, due to the photobleaching of organic ?uorophore molecules. Although inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals can overcome this diffculty…
In the realm of fundamental quantum science and technologies, non-classical states of light, such as single-photon Fock states, are widely studied. However, current standards and metrological procedures are not optimized for low light…
We review the continuous monitoring of a qubit through its spontaneous emission, at an introductory level. Contemporary experiments have been able to collect the fluorescence of an artificial atom in a cavity and transmission line, and then…
Light sources on the scale of single molecules can be addressed and characterized on their proper sub-nanometer scale by scanning tunneling microscopy induced luminescence (STML). Such a source can be driven by defined short charge pulses…
Deterministic emitters transform electronic excitations to photons with unity efficiency. Their development is crucial for both energy-efficient optical interconnects and photonic quantum technologies, but neither rigorous theoretical…
Standard deviation measurements of intensity profiles of stationary single fluorescent molecules are useful for studying axial localization, molecular orientation, and a fluorescence imaging system's spatial resolution. Here we report on…
Semiconductor quantum dots embedded in micro-pillar cavities are excellent emitters of single photons when pumped resonantly. Often, the same spatial mode is used to both resonantly excite a quantum dot and to collect the emitted single…
"Single-shot" ultrafast spectroscopy based on the frequency encoding of transient absorbance kinetics using chirped probe pulses is analyzed theoretically. FDSS has an advantage over pump-probe spectroscopy in a situation where the "noise"…
We study the problem of determining the photon number statistics of an unknown quantum state by simultaneously measuring conjugate quadratures with double homodyne detectors. Classically, the sum of the squared outputs of the two homodyne…
We present rigorous 3D EMF simulations of isolated features on photomasks using a newly developed finite-element method. We report on the current status of the finite-element solver JCMsuite, incorporating higher-order edge elements,…
The spontaneous fluorescence rates of single-molecule emitters are typically on the order of nanoseconds. However coupling them with plasmonic nanostructures can substantially increase their fluorescence yields. The confinement between the…
We propose a novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach to superresolution optical imaging by combining quantum optics and near-field optics. Our concept involves the utilization of single-photon quantum emitters to generate a…
Resonance fluorescence of a two-level emitter displays persistently anti-bunching irrespective of the excitation intensity, but inherits the driving laser's linewidth under weak monochromatic excitation. These properties are commonly…
Super-resolution microscopy is rapidly gaining importance as an analytical tool in the life sciences. A compelling feature is the ability to label biological units of interest with fluorescent markers in living cells and to observe them…
Fluorescence microscopy is essential in biological and medical research, providing critical insights into cellular structures. However, limited by optical diffraction and background noise, a substantial amount of hidden information is still…
Non-classical correlations in quantum optics as resources for quantum computation are important in the quest for highly-specialized quantum devices. The standard way to investigate such effects relies on either the characterization of the…
We demonstrate the possibility of a self-consistent characterization of the photon-number statistics of a light field by using photoemissive detectors with internal gain simply endowed with linear input/output responses. The method can be…
We describe a robust and reliable fluorescence detector for single atoms that is fully integrated into an atom chip. The detector allows spectrally and spatially selective detection of atoms, reaching a single atom detection efficiency of…
