• Abstract: We propose two novel types of spatially multiplexed single-photon sources based on incomplete binary-tree multiplexers. The incomplete multiplexers are extensions of complete binary-tree multiplexers, and they contain incomplete branches either at the input or at the output of them. We analyze and optimize these systems realized with general asymmetric routers and photon-number-resolving detectors by applying a general statistical theory introduced previously that includes all relevant loss mechanisms. We show that the use of any of the two proposed multiplexing system can lead to higher single-photon probabilities than that achieved with complete binary-tree multiplexers. Single-photon sources based on output-extended incomplete binary-tree multiplexers outperform those based on input-extended ones in the considered parameter ranges, and they can in principle yield single-photon probabilities higher than 0.93 when they are realized by state-of-the-art bulk optical elements.

  Diffusion models (DMs), which enable both image generation from noise and inversion from data, have inspired powerful unpaired image-to-image (I2I) translation algorithms. We tackle this problem with Schrodinger Bridges (SBs), which are differential equations (SDEs) between distributions with minimal transport cost. Inspired by this observation, we propose Latent Schrodinger Bridges (LSBs) that approximate the SB ODE via pre-trained Stable Diffusion. We demonstrate that our algorithm successfully conduct competitive I2I translation in unsupervised setting with only a fraction of cost required by previous DM-

  We develop a method for optimizing the structure of general binary-tree multiplexers realized with asymmetric photon routers. We show that single-photon sources based on such optimal multiplexers yield higher single-photon probabilities than that can be achieved with single-photon sources based on any other spatial multiplexer.

• The quantum beam splitter with many partially indistinguishable photons: multiphotonic interference and asymptotic classical correspondence [44.99833362998488]
  We present the analysis of the quantum two-port interferometer in the $n rightarrow infty$ limit of $n$ partially indistinguishable photons. Our main result is that the output distribution is dominated by the $O(sqrtn)$ channels around a certain $j*$ that depends on the degree of indistinguishability. The form is essentially the doubly-humped semi-classical envelope of the distribution that would arise from $2 j*$ indistinguishable photons, and which reproduces the corresponding classical intensity distribution.

  Temporal-to-spatial demultiplexing routes non-simultaneous events of the same spatial mode to distinct output trajectories. We propose and demonstrate a demultiplexing approach that utilizes only a single active element for routing to, in principle, an arbitrary number of outputs.

  Integrated arrays of Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) have shown capabilities such as Photon Number Resolution, single photon imaging and coincidences detection. The growing complexity of such applications requires the use of multiplexing schemes for the simultaneous readout of different detectors. A simple multiplexing scheme can be realized by arranging a series of SNSPDs elements, shunted by appropriate resistances.

Sources of single photons that are highly indistinguishable and pure, that are either near-deterministic or heralded with high efficiency, have been elusive. Here, we demonstrate on-chip photon sources that simultaneously meet each of these requirements.

  Detectors capable of resolving photon numbers have undergone a significant development recently, and this is expected to affect multiplexed periodic single-photon sources. We analyze various spatially and time-multiplexed periodic single-photon source arrangements with photon-number-resolving detectors. We find that the highest single-photon probability is 0.907 that can be achieved by binary bulk time multiplexers using photon-number-resolving detectors.

  Single photons coupled to atomic systems have shown to be a promising platform for developing quantum technologies. Yet a bright on-demand, highly pure and highly indistinguishable single-photon source compatible with atomic platforms is lacking.
