• Abstract: State-preserving frequency conversion in the optical domain is a necessary component in many configurations of quantum information processing and communication. Thus far, nonlinear crystals are used for this purpose. Here, we report on a new approach based on coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) in a dense molecular hydrogen gas. This four-wave mixing process sidesteps the limitations imposed by crystal properties, it is intrinsically broadband and does not generate an undesired background. We demonstrate this method by converting photons from 434 nm to 370 nm and show that their polarization is preserved.

  Periodically poled (PP) crystals are commonly used to generate bright photon sources through quasi-phase matching. Here, we adopt non-critical phase matching to produce a robust and bright polarization-entangled photon source based on a Sagnac interferometer. We experimentally produce the four Bell states with a brightness of 25.1 kHz/mW, achieving purity, concurrence, and fidelity values close to 0.99.

  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.

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.
