• Abstract: Resonant intermediate states have been proposed to increase the efficiency of entangled two-photon absorption (ETPA). Although resonance-enhanced ETPA (r-ETPA) has been demonstrated in atomic systems using bright squeezed vacuum, it has not been studied in organic molecules. We investigate for the first time r-ETPA in an organic molecular dye, indocyanine green (ICG), when excited by broadband entangled photons in near-IR. Similar to many reported virtual state mediated ETPA (v-ETPA) measurements, no r-ETPA signals are measured, with an experimental upper bound for the cross section placed at $6 \times 10^{-23}$ cm$^2$/molecule. In addition, the classical resonance-enhanced two-photon absorption (r-TPA) cross section of ICG at 800 nm is measured for the first time to be $20(\pm13)$ GM, suggesting that having a resonant intermediate state does not significantly enhance two-photon processes in ICG. The spectrotemporally resolved emission signatures of ICG excited by entangled photons are also presented to support this conclusion.

  Single photon emitters hosted in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are essential building blocks for quantum photonic technologies that operate at room temperature. We experimentally demonstrate large-area arrays of plasmonic nanoresonators for Purcell-induced site-controlled SPEs. Our results offer arrays of bright, heterogeneously integrated quantum light sources, paving the way for robust and scalable quantum information systems.

  We investigated the fluorescence signals from Rhodamine 6G and LDS798 excited with a CW laser or an entangled photon pair source at 1060 nm. We observed a signal that originates from hot-band absorption (HBA), which is one-photon absorption from thermally-populated vibrational levels of the ground electronic state. For the typical conditions under which E2PEF measurements are performed, contributions from the HBA process could lead to a several orders-of-magnitude overestimate of the quantum advantage for excitation efficiency.

• Energy-time entanglement and intermediate state dynamics in two photon absorption [0.0]
  Energy-time entanglement can enhance two photon absorption (TPA) by simultaneously optimizing the two photon resonance and the coincidence rate of photons at the absorber. We show that the theory can be simplified greatly by separating the two photon resonance from the temporal dynamics of the intermediate levels.
