Title: Search for axion resonances in vacuum birefringence with three-beam collisions
Authors: Stefan Evans and Ralf Sch\"utzhold
Abstract summary: We consider birefringent (i.e., polarization changing) scattering of x-ray photons at the superposition of two optical laser beams of ultra-high intensity. By changing the pump and probe laser orientations and frequencies, one can even scan different axion masses.

Abstract: We consider birefringent (i.e., polarization changing) scattering of x-ray photons at the superposition of two optical laser beams of ultra-high intensity and study the resonant contributions of axions or axion-like particles, which could also be short-lived. Applying the specifications of the Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields (HIBEF), we find that this set-up can be more sensitive than previous light-by-light scattering (birefringence) or light-shining-through-wall experiments in a certain domain of parameter space. By changing the pump and probe laser orientations and frequencies, one can even scan different axion masses.

Hyper-entanglement between pulse modes and frequency bins [101.18253437732933]
Hyper-entanglement between two or more photonic degrees of freedom (DOF) can enhance and enable new quantum protocols. We demonstrate the generation of photon pairs hyper-entangled between pulse modes and frequency bins.

Single Photon Scattering Can Account for the Discrepancies Between Entangled Two-Photon Measurement Techniques [0.0]
Entangled photon pairs are predicted to linearize and increase the efficiency of two-photon absorption. Despite a range of theoretical studies and experimental measurements, inconsistencies persist about the value of the entanglement enhanced interaction cross section. A spectrometer is constructed that can temporally and spectrally characterize the entangled photon state.

Single-photon-level sub-Doppler pump-probe spectroscopy of rubidium [0.0]
We propose and demonstrate pump-probe spectroscopy of rubidium absorption. The two-dimensional spectrum measured as the laser frequencies are scanned shows fluorescence, Doppler-broadened absorption dips and sub-Doppler features. In the future this technique could assist in frequency stabilization of lasers, and the single-photon-level probe could be replaced by a single photon source.

Entanglement dynamics in dissipative photonic Mott insulators [62.997667081978825]
In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics. Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
