• Abstract: We propose a new single photon source based on the principle of active multiplexing of heralded single photons which, unlike previously reported architecture, requires a limited amount of physical resources. We discuss both its feasibility and the purity and indistinguishability of single photons as function of the key parameters of a possible implementation.

  Single-photon sources are necessary components for many prospective quantum technologies. We develop a full multimode description based on the exact Bogoliubov treatment of the down conversion process. Our findings can be used to guide the design of quantum information protocols based on heralded single-photon sources.

• Multiplexed Pseudo-Deterministic Photon Source with Asymmetric Switching Elements [0.166493834430944]
  We present a new design that exploits the general one-way properties of common switching elements such as thermal pads. By introducing multiple switches to a basic, temporal multiplexing device, we are able to use slow switching elements in a multiplexed source being pumped at much faster rates. We model this design under multiple error channels and show that anticipated performance is now limited by the intrinsic loss rate of the optical waveguides.

  Multi-photon interference is at the heart of photonic quantum technologies. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that detection can be implemented with a temporal resolution sufficient to interfere photons detuned on the scales necessary for cavity-based integrated photon sources. We show how time-resolved detection of non-ideal photons can be used to improve the fidelity of an entangling operation and to mitigate the reduction of computational complexity in boson sampling experiments.
