• Abstract summary: Quantum imaging is well-suited to study sensitive samples which require low-light conditions, like biological tissues. In this context, interaction-free measurements (IFM) allow us infer the presence of an opaque object without the photon interacting with the sample. Here we extend the IFM imaging schemes to multi-pixel, semi-transparent objects, by encoding the information about the pixels into an internal degree of freedom.

• Abstract: Quantum imaging, one of the pillars of quantum technologies, is well-suited to study sensitive samples which require low-light conditions, like biological tissues. In this context, interaction-free measurements (IFM) allow us infer the presence of an opaque object without the photon interacting with the sample. Current IFM schemes are designed for single-pixel objects, while real-life samples are structured, multi-pixel objects. Here we extend the IFM imaging schemes to multi-pixel, semi-transparent objects, by encoding the information about the pixels into an internal degree of freedom, namely orbital angular momentum (OAM). This allows us to image the pixels in parallel. Our solution exhibits a better theoretical efficiency than the single-pixel case. Our scheme can be extended to other degrees of freedom, like the photon radial quantum number, in order to image 1D and 2D objects.

We realize the representation of photonic quantum states within truncated Fock spaces in SeQUeNCe. We observe varying fidelity with SPDC source mean photon number, and varying entanglement generation rate with both mean photon number and memory mode number.

  This work employs a bright QD single-photon source to generate a complete set of quantum states for information processing with OAM photons. We first study the hybrid intra-particle entanglement between the OAM and the polarization degree of freedom of a single-photon. Then, we investigate the hybrid inter-particle entanglement, by exploiting a probabilistic two qudit OAM-based entangling gate.

  We propose a subpixel-level HS super-resolution framework by devising a novel decoupled-and-coupled network, called DCNet. As the name suggests, DC-Net first decouples the input into common (or cross-sensor) and sensor-specific components. We append a self-supervised learning module behind the CSU net by guaranteeing the material consistency to enhance the detailed appearances of the restored HS product.

  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.
