• Abstract: In medical applications -- such as positron emission tomography (PET) -- $511$keV photons that experience Compton scattering are studied. We present a consistent framework based on error-correction channels to fully describe the quantum information-theoretic content of high energetic photons undergoing Compton scattering, characterized by the Klein-Nishina formula in unoriented matter. In this way, we can predict the expected spatial distribution of two or more, pure or mixed, polarization entangled or unentangled photons. This framework allows us to characterize the accessible and inaccessible information for different parameter ranges. It also answers the question of how to describe successive multi-photon scattering. In addition our formalism provides a complete framework for dealing with single and all multi-partite errors that can occur in the propagation, providing the basis for modeling future dedicated experiments that will then have applications in medicine, such as reducing errors in PET imaging.

  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.

  We introduce a unifying framework describing the Photon-resolved Floquet theory and the standard full-counting statistics. Within this framework we analyze the two-mode Jaynes-Cummings model to demonstrate that the Photon-resolved Floquet theory and the standard full-counting statistics make consistent statistical predictions. We find that the photon-flux fluctuations diverge for vanishing dissipation, which can be related to an entanglement effect between the driven matter system and the driving field.

  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 develop a nonperturbative quantum theory of parametric down-conversion of waveguide modes.

  Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter. In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement. Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

We show that totally destructive interference does not require mutual indistinguishability between all, but only between symmetrically paired particles.
