- Abstract summary: Heralded single photon source (HSPS) is an important way in generating genuine single photon.
HSPS intrinsically suffers from the trade-off between the heralded single photon rate and the single photon purity.
By employing spectral multiplexing and active feed-forward spectral manipulating, we demonstrate a HSPS at 1.5 mum telecom-band.

- Abstract: Heralded single photon source (HSPS) is an important way in generating
genuine single photon, having advantages of experimental simplicity and
versatility. However, HSPS intrinsically suffers from the trade-off between the
heralded single photon rate and the single photon purity. To overcome this, one
can apply multiplexing technology in different degrees of freedom to enhance
the performance of HSPS. Here, by employing spectral multiplexing and active
feed-forward spectral manipulating, we demonstrate a HSPS at 1.5 {\mu}m
telecom-band. Our experimental results show that the spectral multiplexing
effectively erases the frequency correlation of pair source and significantly
improves the heralded single photon rate while keeping the g{^(^2^)}(0) as low
as 0.0006{\pm}0.0001. The Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between the heralded
single photons and photons from an independent weak coherent source indicates a
high indistinguishability. Our results pave a way for scalable HSPS by spectral
multiplexing towards deterministic single photon emission.

parallel superconducting nanowire single-photon detector [0.0]
Heralded single-photon sources (HSPS) intrinsically suffer from multiphoton emission, leading to a trade-off between the source's quality and the heralding rate.
A solution is to use photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors to filter out the heralding events where more than one photon pair is created.
Here, we demonstrate the use of a high-efficiency PNR superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) as a heralding detector for a HSPS.

Design relies on multiple single-photon sources, each coupled to a waveguide, and all of them interact with a common cavity mode.

This is orders of magnitude more efficient than previous demultiplexed sources for boson sampling and enables the realization of deterministic multi-photon sources and scalable quantum information processing with photons.
