An absorption of a weak pulse by two identical atoms moving in a trap is investigated. Based on atom-light interactions we present a microscopic model of a two-body wave function diagnosis. We study the influence of pulse properties on the…
We demonstrate one- and two-photon diffraction and interference experiments utilizing parametric down-converted photon pairs (biphotons) and a transmission grating. With two-photon detection, the biphoton exhibits a diffraction-interference…
As light travels through a disordered medium such as biological tissues, it undergoes multiple scattering events. This phenomenon is detrimental to in-depth optical microscopy, as it causes a drastic degradation of contrast, resolution and…
In this paper we show that the sensitivity of absorption imaging of ultracold atoms can be significantly improved by imaging in a standing-wave configuration. We present simulations of single-atom absorption imaging both for a…
We consider the problem of discriminating between states of a specified set with maximum confidence. For a set of linearly independent states unambiguous discrimination is possible if we allow for the possibility of an inconclusive result.…
We analyze a (symmetrical) two-sensor arrangement with a joint boundary line between the sensors for fluctuation-enhanced sensing. We show a way to separate the adsorption-desorption signal components from the diffusive signal component.…
Entangled two-photon absorption spectroscopy (TPA) has been widely recognized as a powerful tool for revealing relevant information about the structure of complex molecular systems. However, to date, the experimental implementation of this…
The iterative absorption method has recently led to major progress in the area of (hyper-)graph decompositions. Amongst other results, a new proof of the Existence conjecture for combinatorial designs, and some generalizations, was…
We investigate the implementation of binary projective measurements with linear optics. This problem can be viewed as a single-shot discrimination of two orthogonal pure quantum states. We show that any two orthogonal states can be…
We demonstrate the ultimate sensitivity allowed by quantum physics in the estimation of the time delay between two photons by measuring their interference at a beam-splitter through frequency-resolving sampling measurements. This…
Single atoms form a model system for understanding the limits of single photon detection. Here, we develop a non-Markov theory of single-photon absorption by a two-level atom to place limits on the absorption (transduction) time. We show…
We assess proposals for entangling two distant atoms by measurement of emitted photons, analyzing how their performance depends on the photon detection efficiency. We consider schemes based on measurement of one or two photons and compare…
In this paper, two-photon absorption resonance has been investigated . We studied this phenomenon in three-level system with common upper level, two lower long-life levels and two quasi-resonant laser fields with different frequency…
In this report I attempt to outline the process of developing and building an absorption imaging system capable of imaging ultracold atoms. In the theory section I will discuss the elements required to estimate the atom number and derive…
Quantum-intensity-correlated twin beams of light can be used to measure absorption with precision beyond the classical shot-noise limit. The degree to which this can be achieved with a given estimator is defined by the quality of the…
We present the first diffusion-based framework that can learn an unknown distribution using only highly-corrupted samples. This problem arises in scientific applications where access to uncorrupted samples is impossible or expensive to…
One of the most intriguing aspects of Quantum Mechanics is the impossibility of measuring at the same time observables corresponding to non-commuting operators. This impossibility can be partially relaxed when considering joint or…
We propose a nonabsorbing microwave single-photon detector that uses an artificial atom as a coherent interaction mediator between a traveling photon and a high-Q resonator, fully exploiting the knowledge of the photon's arrival time. Our…
Quantum imaging with undetected photons relies on the principle of induced coherence without induced emission and uses two sources of photon-pairs with a signal- and an idler photon. Each pair shares strong quantum correlations in both…
Typically, optical microscopy uses the wavelike properties of light to image a scene. However, photon arrival times provide more information about emitter properties than the classical intensity alone. Here, we show that the Hanbury Brown…
