• Abstract: Entangled photons offer two advantages for two-photon absorption spectroscopy. One of them, the linear scaling of two-photon absorption rate with the input photon flux, is only valid at very low photon fluxes and is therefore impractical. The other is the overcoming of the classical constraints for simultaneous resolution in time-frequency and in space-wavevector. Here we consider bright squeezed vacuum (BSV) as an alternative to entangled photons. The efficiency increase it offers in comparison with coherent light is modest, but it does not depend on the photon flux. Moreover, and this is what we show in this work, BSV also provides simultaneously high resolution in time and frequency, and in space and wavevector. In our experiment, we measure the widths of the second-order correlation functions in space, time, frequency, and angle, and demonstrate the violation of the constraint given by the Fourier transformation, also known as the Mancini criterion of entanglement.

  We study two-photon absorption (TPA) and sum-frequency generation (SFG) driven by weak or bright broadband squeezed vacuum with time-frequency entanglement between photons. We find that the classical model yields exactly the same predictions as the full quantum-field theory for all of the phenomena considered here, in both the low-gain and high-gain regimes of squeezed vacuum. Such predictions include the linear-flux scaling of TPA and SFG rates at low incident photon flux, as well as the dependence of TPA and SHG rates on the relative linewidths of the squeezed light and the ground

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.
