To capture the 3D information of a scene, conventional techniques often require multiple 2D images of the scene to be captured from different perspectives. In this work we demonstrate the reconstruction of a scene's 3D information through…
Spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) has proven to be a robust and prominent method for creating non-classical light sources of entangled single-photon pairs. However, such sources suffer from low efficiency due to the inherent…
Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC), also known as parametric fluorescence, parametric noise, parametric scattering and all various combinations of the abbreviation SPDC, is a non-linear optical process where a photon…
Spatial correlations of photon pairs from spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) underpin quantum imaging and entanglement certification. We present the first systematic study of spectral filter bandwidth effects on transverse…
The physics that governs quantum monitoring may involve other degrees of freedom than the ones initialised and controlled for probing. In this context we address the simultaneous estimation of phase and dephasing characterizing a dispersive…
