• Abstract: Theoretical spin properties of the Kapitza-Dirac effect beyond the plane-wave description are not known in detail. We develop a method for computing electron diffraction of the two-photon Kapitza-Dirac effect in a two-dimensional Gaussian beam standing light wave within a relativistic formulation. The solutions are computed on the basis of time-dependent perturbation theory, where a momentum space formulation with the use of a Fourier transformation of the external potential allows for the solving the perturbative time-integrals. An iteration over each possible quantum state combination leads to a quadratic scaling of our method with respect to spacial grid resolution, where time-stepping does not occur in the numeric implementation. The position- and momentum space grids are adapted to the two-photon interaction geometry at low resolution, for which our study only finds partial convergence of the simulated diffraction pattern. Further, the method has the advantage of having an easy implementable parallelization layout.

  We show that engineered loss, using an auxiliary waveguide, allows one to invert the spatial statistics from bunching to antibunching. We study the photon statistics within the loss-emulating channel and observe photon coincidences, which may provide insights into the design of quantum photonic integrated chips.

• Shaping entangled photons through thick scattering media using an advanced wave beacon [0.0]
  Entangled photons propagate through a complex medium such as a biological tissue or a turbulent atmosphere. Using wavefront shaping to compensate for the scattering and retrieve the two-photon correlations is challenging due to the low signal-to-noise ratio. We propose and demonstrate a new feedback mechanism that is inspired by Klyshko's advanced wave picture.

  Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss. Error correction requires a recovery operation that maps the error states -- which have opposite parity -- back onto the code states. Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.

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.
