Abstract: The interference between two independent photons stands as a crucial aspect of numerous quantum information protocols and technologies. In this work, we leverage fiber-coupled devices, which encompass fibered photon pair-sources and off-the-shelf optics, to demonstrate Hong-Ou-Mandel interference. We employ two distinct single photon sources, namely an heralded single-photon source and a weak coherent laser source, both operating asynchronously in continuous-wave regime. We record two-photon coincidences, showing a state-of-art visibility of 91.9(5)\%. This work, compliant with telecom technology provides realistic backbones for establishing long-range communication based on quantum teleportation in hybrid quantum networks.

Optimizing the quantum interference between single photons and local oscillator with photon correlations [0.0]
We report on two homodyne photon-correlation techniques enabling the precise measurement of the overlap between a single photon generated by a quantum dot-cavity device and pulsed laser light. The different statistics of interfering fields lead to specific signatures of the quantum interference on the photon correlations at the output of the interfering beam splitter. We compare the behavior of maximized overlap, measuring either the Hong-Ou-Mandel visibility between both outputs or the photon bunching at a single output.

Multiphoton interference is crucial to many photonic quantum technologies. Here, we implement a quantum walk in a highly stable, low-loss, multiport interferometer with up to 24 ultrafast time bins. Our results demonstrate that ultrafast time bins are a promising platform to observe large-scale multiphoton interference.

Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference with a Coexisting Clock using Transceivers for Synchronization over Deployed Fiber [7.485793859717425]
Interference between independently generated photons is a key step towards distributing entanglement over long distances. Here, we demonstrate photon-photon interference by observing the Hong-Ou-Mandel dip between two distantly-located sources. We achieve a maximum dip visibility of $0.58 pm 0.04$ when the two sources are connected via $4.3$ km of deployed fiber.

Telecom-heralded entanglement between remote multimode solid-state quantum memories [55.41644538483948]
Future quantum networks will enable the distribution of entanglement between distant locations and allow applications in quantum communication, quantum sensing and distributed quantum computation. Here we report the demonstration of heralded entanglement between two spatially separated quantum nodes, where the entanglement is stored in multimode solid-state quantum memories. We also show that the generated entanglement is robust against loss in the heralding path, and demonstrate temporally multiplexed operation, with 62 temporal modes.

Hyperentanglement in structured quantum light [50.591267188664666]
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.
