• Abstract: Efficient and reliable measurements of photonic indistinguishability are crucial to solidify claims of a quantum advantage in photonics. Existing indistinguishability witnesses may be vulnerable to implementation loopholes, showing the need for a measurement which depends on as few assumptions as possible. Here, we introduce a semi-device-independent witness of photonic indistinguishability and measure it on an integrated photonic processor, certifying three-photon indistinguishability in a way that is insensitive to implementation errors in our processor.

• Semi-device independent characterization of multiphoton indistinguishability [0.0]
  Multiphoton indistinguishability is a central resource for quantum enhancement in sensing and computation. We propose a set of methods for the characterization of multiphoton indistinguishability, based on measurements of bunching and photon number variance. Our methods are robust in a semi-device independent way, in the sense of being effective even when the interferometers are incorrectly dialled.

  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.

• Degradation-agnostic Correspondence from Resolution-asymmetric Stereo [96.03964515969652]
  We study the problem of stereo matching from a pair of images with different resolutions, e.g., those acquired with a tele-wide camera system. We propose to impose the consistency between two views in a feature space instead of the image space, named feature-metric consistency. We find that, although a stereo matching network trained with the photometric loss is not optimal, its feature extractor can produce degradation-agnostic and matching-specific features.

We show that totally destructive interference does not require mutual indistinguishability between all, but only between symmetrically paired particles.

• Noisy pre-processing facilitating a photonic realisation of device-independent quantum key distribution [0.0]
  Device-independent quantum key distribution provides security even when the equipment used to communicate over the quantum channel is largely uncharacterized. A central obstacle in photonic implementations is that the global detection efficiency must be above a certain threshold. We here propose a method to significantly relax this threshold, while maintaining provable device-independent security.
