Authors: Roman Shakhovoy, Alexander Tumachek, Natalia Andronova, Yury Mironov, and Yury Kurochkin
Abstract summary: We performed theoretical analysis of the phase randomness in a gain-switched semiconductor laser in the context of its application as a quantum entropy source. Numerical simulations demonstrate that phase diffusion r.m.s. exhibits non-linear dependence on the bias current. It is shown that phase diffusion between laser pulses cannot always be assumed to exhibit required efficiency.

Abstract: We performed theoretical analysis of the phase randomness in a gain-switched semiconductor laser in the context of its application as a quantum entropy source. Numerical simulations demonstrate that phase diffusion r.m.s. exhibits non-linear dependence on the bias current, which could be of significant practical importance, particularly, in application to high-speed optical quantum random number generators. It is shown that phase diffusion between laser pulses cannot always be assumed to exhibit required efficiency, particularly, at high pulse repetition rates. It was also revealed that the gain saturation significantly affects the r.m.s. value of the phase diffusion and, in essence, determines the degree of non-linearity of its dependence on the pump current.

Correlated steady states and Raman lasing in continuously pumped and probed atomic ensembles [68.8204255655161]
We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

Diverging current fluctuations in critical Kerr resonators [0.0]
We study a driven-dissipative nonlinear cavity with both continuous and discontinuous quantum phase transitions. Considering both direct photodetection and homodyne detection schemes, we find that the current fluctuations diverge exponentially at the discontinuous phase transition. Our findings highlight the rich features of current fluctuations near nonequilibrium phase transitions in quantum-optical systems.

The origin of indistinguishability of quantum features in an interferometric system [0.0]
The origin of photon bunching on a beam splitter is in the indistinguishable characteristics between coincident photons. A strong mutual phase dependency is the essential requirement for the nonclassical feature of photon bunching. On behalf of a coherent model with a single input-port BS system, an extended scheme of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is analyzed.

Single photon randomness originating from the symmetry of dipole emission and the unpredictability of spontaneous emission [55.41644538483948]
Quantum random number generation is a key ingredient for quantum cryptography and fundamental quantum optics. We experimentally demonstrate quantum random number generation based on the spontaneous emission process. The scheme can be extended to random number generation by coherent single photons with potential applications in solid-state based quantum communication at room temperature.

The model of a single-atom laser generating in the regime when incoherent pumping rate coincides with the cavity decay rate is theoretically investigated. Results describe the sub-Poissonian photon statistics and show an increase in mean number of photons to non-zero value when the pump tends to zero.
