• Abstract: The phenomenon of induced coherence without induced emission allows to reconstruct the quantum state of a photon that remains undetected. The state information is transferred to its partner photon via optical coherence. Using this phenomenon, a number of established quantum information protocols could be adapted for undetected photons. Despite partial attempts, no general procedure for such adaptation exists. Here we shed light on the matter by showing the close relation between two very dissimilar techniques, namely the quantum state tomography of qubits and the recently developed quantum state tomography of undetected photons. We do so by introducing a set of parameters that quantify the coherence and that mimic the Stokes parameters known from the polarization state tomography. We also perform a thorough analysis of the environment of undetected photons and its role in the reconstruction process.

The ability to lift the requirement for identical photons bears considerable potential in linear-optics quantum information processing.

  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.

  Quantum imaging with undetected photons relies on the principle of induced coherence without induced emission. We investigate the transverse resolution of this non-local imaging scheme through a general formalism. We conclude that this result is also valid for other non-local two-photon imaging schemes.

We conclude that states with strong Wigner negativity can be prepared at high rates by this technique under experimentally attainable conditions.

  Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.

  We introduce a single-photon detector design operating in the microwave domain based on a weakly nonlinear metamaterial. We show that the single-photon detection fidelity increases with the length of the metamaterial to approach one at experimentally realistic lengths. In stark contrast to conventional photon detectors operating in the optical domain, the photon is not destroyed by the detection and the photon wavepacket is minimally disturbed.
