Abstract: We develop a Sagnac-type source of ultrabright, non-degenerate, polarization-entangled photon pair that is highly stable and compact simultaneously. We use a $20~\text{mm}$ long PPLN bulk crystal which, upon pumping continuously with $532~\text{nm}$ wavelength, produces polarization-entangled photon-pairs of $785~\text{nm}$ signal and $1651~\text{nm}$ idler wavelengths via the type-0 spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) process. All optical components used in the setup are off-the-shelf components, readily available commercially; hence, no custom-designed or costly multi-wavelength polarization optics are required. At the same time, long-term phase stability is achieved without any additional active stabilization; due to the geometry of our Sagnac-type design. We also report one of the highest brightness of non-degenerate polarization-entangled photon pairs available in the literature. Even with a very low pump power of $0.034~\text{mW}$, we detect a coincidence rate of $(6.96\pm 0.03)\times10^{4}$ entangled pairs/sec/mW (averaged over three polarization-basis measurements: H/V, D/A, and R/L basis). The source's brightness is calculated to be $(6.17\pm 0.04)\times10^{6}$ entangled pairs/sec/mW for the signal line width of $0.4~\text{nm}$. From the raw coincidence counts (without any background coincidence correction), the fidelity of the entangled state is measured to be $(96.72\pm 0.01)\%$ with a concurrence of $(94.68\pm 0.20)\%$. Bell-CHSH inequality violation is reported as $S=2.71\pm 0.06$.

We study a resonant interaction of an elliptically polarized light wave with vapor exposed to a magnetic field. The sensitivity of the magnetic field sensor is estimated to be $approx,$$130$fT/$surd$Hz in a $2$kHz bandwidth. The results can be used to develop a miniature all-optical magnetic field sensor for medicine and geophysics.

Polarization-entangled photon pair source using beam displacers and thin crystals [0.0]
We present an experimental implementation of a polarization-entangled photon pair source based on beam displacers. The down-converted photons are emitted via spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a non-degenerate and type-0 process. Our source also uses thin crystals for applications in quantum imaging, taking advantage of the large number of spatial modes.

The generation rate reaches 5 MHz in cavities with Q-factor $approx 4times 104$, more than one order of magnitude larger than what is measured using ring resonators with similar Q factors fabricated on the same chip.

We investigate the production of all-optical $39$K Bose-Einstein condensates with different scattering lengths using a Feshbach resonance near $33$ G. We are able to produce fully condensed ensembles with $5.8times104$ atoms within $850$ ms evaporation time at a scattering length of $232. Based on our findings we describe routes towards high-flux sources of ultra-cold potassium for inertial sensing.

An experimental setup to generate narrowband bi-photons via four-wave mixing in cold atoms [0.0]
We create near-infrared and narrow-band correlated photon pairs by inducing four-wave mixing in a cold gas of $87$Rb atoms confined in a magneto-optical trap. The non-classical nature of the photons pairs is confirmed by observing a violation of Cauchy-Schwarz inequality by a factor of 5.6 $times 105$ in a Hanbury Brown - Twiss interferometer. The combination of high brightness and narrow-band spectrum makes this photon-pair source a viable tool in fundamental studies of quantum states and opens the door to use them in quantum technologies
