• Abstract: We report the enhancement of quantum correlations for biphotons generated via spontaneous four-wave mixing in an ensemble of cold two-level atoms. This enhancement is based on the filtering of the Rayleigh linear component of the spectrum of the two emitted photons, favoring the quantum-correlated sidebands reaching the detectors. We provide direct measurements of the unfiltered spectrum presenting its usual triplet structure, with Rayleigh central components accompanied by two peaks symmetrically located at the detuning of the excitation laser with respect to the atomic resonance. The filtering of the central component results in a violation of the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality to $4.8 \pm 1.0 \leq 1$ for a detuning of 60 times the atomic linewidth, representing an enhancement by a factor of four compared with the unfiltered quantum correlations observed at the same conditions.

  We discuss two-photon correlations from the side peaks that are formed when a two-level system emitter is driven coherently. We show that their combination leads to a neat picture compatible with perturbative two-photon scattering. This should help to control, enhance and open new regimes of multiphoton emission.

  We report the experimental verification of nonclassical correlations for a four-wave-mixing process in an ensemble of cold two-level atoms. Quantum correlations are observed in a nano-seconds timescale, in the interference between the central exciting frequency and sidebands dislocated by the detuning to the atomic resonance.

• Two-photon resonance fluorescence of two interacting non-identical quantum emitters [77.34726150561087]
  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.

  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.
