• Abstract: The development of ideal sources is a fundamental challenge for the practical implementation of integrated photonic technologies for quantum applications. In this paper we analyse the state-of-the-art in heralded single photon sources; pointing out inconsistencies in the how key parameters, such as brightness and heralding efficiency, are characterised. We then suggest considerations that could be made to facilitate fairer comparison between literature results.

  We present a parameter-decoupled superresolution framework for estimating sub-wavelength separations of passive two-point sources. Our theoretical foundation circumvents the need to estimate multiple challenging parameters such as partial coherence, brightness imbalance, random relative phase, and photon statistics. The integrated parameter-decoupling superresolution method achieves resolution 14 and more times below the diffraction limit.

  Multiphoton indistinguishability is a central resource for quantum enhancement in sensing and computation. We propose a set of methods for the characterization of multiphoton indistinguishability, based on measurements of bunching and photon number variance. Our methods are robust in a semi-device independent way, in the sense of being effective even when the interferometers are incorrectly dialled.

  We consider the challenging problem of predicting intrinsic object properties from a single image by exploiting differentiables.

Compared to more advanced physics-based differentiables, DIBR++ is highly performant due to its compact and expressive model.

  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. Here, we demonstrate on-chip photon sources that simultaneously meet each of these requirements.
