• Title: Phase resolved joint spectra tomography of a ring resonator photon pair source using a silicon photonic chip
• Authors: Massimo Borghi
• Abstract summary: This paper presents the first measurement of the Joint Spectral Amplitude of a micro-ring resonator source. The circuit coherently excites the ring and a reference waveguide, and the interferogram formed by their fields is used to map the ring. This tool complements the traditionally bulky and sophisticated methods implemented so far, simultaneously minimizing the set of required resources.

• Abstract: The exponential growth of photonic quantum technologies is driving the demand of tools for measuring the quality of their information carriers. One of the most prominent is Stimulated Emission Tomography (SET), which uses classical coherent fields to measure the Joint Spectral Amplitude (JSA) of photon pairs with high speed and resolution. While the modulus of the JSA can be directly addressed from a single intensity measurement, the retrieval of the Joint Spectral Phase (JSP) is far more challenging and received minor attentions. However, a wide class of spontaneous sources of technological relevance, as chip integrated micro-resonators, have a JSP with a rich structure, that carries correlations hidden in the intensity domain. Here, using a compact and reconfigurable silicon photonic chip, it is measured for the first time the complex JSA of a micro-ring resonator photon pair source. The photonic circuit coherently excites the ring and a reference waveguide, and the interferogram formed by their stimulated fields is used to map the ring JSP through a novel phase reconstruction technique. This tool complements the traditionally bulky and sophisticated methods implemented so far, simultaneously minimizing the set of required resources.

  We propose a new and more efficient protocol that is able to reconstruct the continuous variable density matrix of a photoelectron in a single time delay scan. It is based on measuring the coherences of a photoelectron absorption of an XUV pulse using a broadband infrared (IR) probe that is scanned in time and a narrowband IR reference that is temporally fixed to the XUV pulse.

  Biphoton frequency combs (BFCs) are promising quantum sources for large-scale and high-dimensional quantum information and networking systems. Measurement of the temporal auto-correlation function of the unheralded signal or idler photons comprising the BFC is a key tool for characterizing their spectral purity. We propose a scheme to circumvent this challenge through electro-optic phase modulation.
