• Abstract summary: Measuring the phase spectrum at the single-photon level is essential for the full characterization of the temporal-spectral mode of quantum sources. We present a phase retrieval algorithm-based method to recover the phase spectrum difference between two independent pulses from their Hong-Ou-Mandel interference pattern and intensity spectra.

• Abstract: Measuring the phase spectrum at the single-photon level is essential for the full characterization of the temporal-spectral mode of quantum sources. We present a phase retrieval algorithm-based method to recover the phase spectrum difference between two independent pulses from their Hong-Ou-Mandel interference pattern and intensity spectra. Our confirmatory experiment with coherent state pulses confirms the accuracy of the recovered phase spectrum difference to within plus or minus 0.1 rad. The method we employ is readily generalizable to the measurement of single-photon wave packets and even correlated photon pairs.

  Out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) have emerged as powerful tools for diagnosing quantum chaos and information scrambling. We investigate the spectral decomposition of OTOCs in open quantum systems using the dissipative modified kicked rotator (DMKR) as a paradigmatic model. Our results provide a quantitative framework for understanding OTOCs in dissipative quantum systems and suggest new avenues for experimental exploration in open quantum platforms.

• Mode hitching in traveling-wave optical parametric amplification [0.0]
  This study focuses on the classical transverse dynamics of the signal and idler beams when they propagate in a generic thick OPA at a nominally small angle. We show that the beams tend to copropagate while maintaining a fixed separation, a phenomenon that we term hitching. Results have implications for the generation of multi-spatial-mode squeezed light for quantum imaging applications.

  We design a passive conditional gate between co-propagating photons using an array of only two-level emitters. The key resource is to harness the effective photon-photon interaction induced by the chiral coupling of the emitter array to two waveguide modes. We show how to harness this non-linear phase shift to engineer a conditional, deterministic photonic gate in different qubit encodings.
