• Abstract: We analyze the transfer of quantum information to detected classical information in four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy. In estimating the moduli and phases of the Fourier coefficients of the sample's electrostatic potential, we find that near-optimum information transfer is achieved by a delocalized speckled probe, which attains about half of the available quantum Fisher information. The quantum limit itself is precluded due to detecting the scattering in momentum space. We compare with direct phase-contrast imaging, where a Zernike phase condition attains the quantum limit for all spatial frequencies admitted by the optical system. Our conclusions also apply to other forms of coherent scalar radiation, such as visible light and x-rays.

  metasurfaces with subwavelength thickness were recently established as versatile platforms for the enhanced and tailorable generation of entangled photon pairs. Here, we demonstrate the unique benefits and practical potential of nonlinear metasurfaces for quantum imaging at infrared wavelengths. We reconstruct the images of 2D objects using just a 1D detector array in the idler path and a bucket detector in the signal path, by recording the dependencies of photon coincidences on the pump wavelength.

  Scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) is known as a promising technique for overcoming Abbe diffraction limit. We propose a quantum model for the suggested system, by employing electric-dipole approximation, image theory, and perturbation theory.

  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 employ an optical quantum memory with spin-wave storage and an embedded processing capability to implement a time-inversion interferometer for input light. Our tailored measurement achieves a resolution of 15 kHz and requires 20 times less photons than a corresponding Rayleigh-limited conventional method.

  We demonstrate a novel approach to transfer and recover quantum coherence from scattered non-line-of-sight photons. The observed time-bin visibility for scattered photons remained at a high $95%$ over a wide scattering angle range of -45 degree to +45 degree. We believe our method will instigate new lines for research and development on applying photon coherence from scattered signals to quantum sensing, imaging, and communication in free-space environments.

  Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. 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.

  We introduce a single-photon detector design operating in the microwave domain based on a weakly nonlinear metamaterial. We show that the single-photon detection fidelity increases with the length of the metamaterial to approach one at experimentally realistic lengths. In stark contrast to conventional photon detectors operating in the optical domain, the photon is not destroyed by the detection and the photon wavepacket is minimally disturbed.
