Here, we structure the transverse spatial correlations of entangled photon pairs to evidence signs of ETPA at room-temperature in organic and inorganic chromophores.
Our results present a step towards verifying ETPA and experimentally exploring entangled light-matter interactions.

- Abstract: Over the last 50 years entangled photon pairs have received attention for use in lowering the flux in two-photon absorption imaging and spectroscopy. Despite this, evidence for entangled two-photon absorption (ETPA) effects remain highly debated, especially at low-fluxes. Here, we structure the transverse spatial correlations of entangled photon pairs to evidence signs of ETPA at room-temperature in organic and inorganic chromophores, in the low-flux regime. We demonstrate our scheme to be robust to common artifacts that have previously hampered detection of ETPA such as linear absorption and background fluorescence, and show that ETPA scales with transverse correlation area and chromophore two-photon cross-sections. Our results present a step towards verifying ETPA and experimentally exploring entangled light-matter interactions.

We demonstrate that the so-called N00N-state configuration is the only one amongst those considered insensitive to linear (single-photon) losses.
Our results show that N00N states may become a potentially powerful tool for quantum spectroscopy, and place them as a strong candidate for the certification of eTPA in an arbitrary sample.

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.

We study a system of two interacting, non-indentical quantum emitters driven by a coherent field.
We show that the features imprinted by the two-photon dynamics into the spectrum of resonance fluorescence are particularly sensitive to changes in the distance between emitters.
This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.

The technique is well suited to characterize pairs of photons, each of which can interact with a single atomic species.

We use a fluorescence-based registration scheme to experimentally determine upper bounds on the cross-sections for six fluorophores.
For two samples that have been studied by others, Rhodamine 6G and 9R-S, we measure upper bounds four and five orders of magnitude lower than the previously reported cross-sections.

In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics.
Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
