Abstract: Imaging is central for gaining microscopic insight into physical systems, but direct imaging of ultracold atoms in optical lattices as modern quantum simulation platform suffers from the diffraction limit as well as high optical density and small depth of focus. We introduce a novel approach to imaging of quantum many-body systems using matter wave optics to magnify the density distribution prior to optical imaging, allowing sub-lattice spacing resolution in three-dimensional systems. Combining the site-resolved imaging with magnetic resonance techniques for local addressing of individual lattice sites, we demonstrate full accessibility to local information and local manipulation in three-dimensional optical lattice systems. The method opens the path for spatially resolved studies of new quantum many-body regimes including exotic lattice geometries.

Quantum Imaging Using Spatially Entangled Photon Pairs from a Nonlinear Metasurface [0.4188114563181615]
metasurfaces with subwavelength thickness were recently established as versatile platforms for the enhanced and tailorable generation of entangled photon pairs. Here, we demonstrate the unique benefits and practical potential of nonlinear metasurfaces for quantum imaging at infrared wavelengths. We reconstruct the images of 2D objects using just a 1D detector array in the idler path and a bucket detector in the signal path, by recording the dependencies of photon coincidences on the pump wavelength.

Super-resolved snapshot hyperspectral imaging of solid-state quantum emitters for high-throughput integrated quantum technologies [2.369149909203103]
We introduce the concept of hyperspectral imaging in quantum optics, for the first time, to address such a long-standing issue. With the extracted quantum dot positions and emission wavelengths, surface-emitting quantum light sources and in-plane photonic circuits can be deterministically fabricated. Our work is expected to change the landscape of integrated quantum photonic technology.

On-chip single-photon subtraction by individual silicon vacancy centers in a laser-written diamond waveguide [48.7576911714538]
Laser-written diamond photonics offers three-dimensional fabrication capabilities and large mode-field diameters matched to fiber optic technology. To realize large cooperativities, we combine excitation of single shallow-implanted silicon vacancy centers via large numerical aperture optics. We demonstrate single-emitter extinction measurements with a cooperativity of 0.153 and a beta factor of 13% yielding 15.3% as lower bound for the quantum efficiency of a single emitter.

Hyperentanglement in structured quantum light [50.591267188664666]
Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.

Quantum metamaterial for nondestructive microwave photon counting [52.77024349608834]
We introduce a single-photon detector design operating in the microwave domain based on a weakly nonlinear metamaterial. We show that the single-photon detection fidelity increases with the length of the metamaterial to approach one at experimentally realistic lengths. In stark contrast to conventional photon detectors operating in the optical domain, the photon is not destroyed by the detection and the photon wavepacket is minimally disturbed.
