• Abstract: It is demonstrated a two-photon interfering technique based on polarization-resolved measurements for the simultaneous estimation with the maximum sensitivity achievable in nature of multiple parameters associated with the polarization state of two interfering photonic qubits. This estimation is done by exploiting a novel interferometry technique based on polarization-resolved two-photon interference. We show the experimental feasibility and accuracy of this technique even when a limited number of sampling measurements is employed. This work is relevant for the development of quantum technologies with photonic qubits and sheds light on the physics at the interface between multiphoton interference, boson sampling, multi-parameter quantum sensing and quantum information processing.

  We show two distinct edge modes corresponding to different frequency ranges in both sandwich kagome and honeycomb topological designs. These two topological edge modes enable two types of optical parametric processes through four-wave mixing. The devices emulating photonic valley-Hall insulators allow the frequency division of two transverse modes.

  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.

This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.

  In an interferometric scheme, anticorrelation results from photon bunching based on randomness when entangled photon pairs impinge on a beam splitter. In this paper, the origin of quantum features in a coupled interferometric scheme is investigated using pure coherence optics. A deterministic method of entangled photon-pair generation is proposed for on-demand coherence control of quantum processing.
