Abstract: This paper presents an all-fiber telecom-range optical gyroscope employing a spontaneous parametric down conversion crystal to produce ultra-low intensity thermal light by tracing-out one of the heralded photons. The prototype exhibits a detection limit on photon delay measurements of $249$ zs over a $72$ s averaging time and 26 zs in differential delay measurements at $t=10^4$ s averaging. The detection scheme proves to be the most resource-efficient possible, saturating $>99.5\%$ of the Cram\'er-Rao bound. These results are groundbreaking in the context of low-photon regime quantum metrology, paving the way to novel experimental configurations to bridge quantum optics with special or general relativity.

On-chip quantum information processing with distinguishable photons [55.41644538483948]
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.

Near-ideal spontaneous photon sources in silicon quantum photonics [55.41644538483948]
Integrated photonics is a robust platform for quantum information processing. Sources of single photons that are highly indistinguishable and pure, that are either near-deterministic or heralded with high efficiency, have been elusive.
