• Abstract: Entanglement is a key resource for quantum computing, sensing, and communication, however it is highly susceptible to decoherence. To address this, quantum optics has explored filtering techniques like photon ancillas and Rydberg atom blockade to restore entangled states. Here, we introduce a an entirely new approach to entanglement retrieval exploiting non-Hermitian systems. By employing an anti-parity-time two-state guiding configuration, we demonstrate efficient extraction of entanglement from any input state. This filter is implemented on a lossless waveguide network using Lanczos transformations, consistent with Wigner-Weisskopf theory. This scheme achieves near-unity fidelity under single- and two-photon excitation and is scalable to higher photon levels while remaining robust against decoherence during propagation. Our work offers new insights into using non-Hermitian symmetries to address central challenges in quantum technologies.

  Entanglement is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics, describing two or more quantum systems that exhibit strong correlations beyond the classical limits. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that resonance fluorescence from a weakly coupled two-level emitter can be transformed into a stream of pairs of photons that are maximally entangled in the time-bin basis. Our results pave the way for realising efficient sources of bandwidth-limited time-bin entangled photon pairs.

  We propose an efficient decomposition scheme for a quantum receiver that attains the Helstrom bound in the low-photon regime for discriminating binary coherent states. We account for realistic conditions by examining the impact of photon loss and imperfect photon detection, including the presence of dark counts. Our scheme motivates testing quantum advantages with cubic-phase gates and designing photonic quantum computers to optimize symbol-by-symbol measurements in optical communication.

  Cat states with their unique phase-space interference properties are ideal candidates for understanding quantum mechanics. They are highly susceptible to photon loss, which inevitably diminishes their quantum non-Gaussian features. Here, we protect these non-Gaussian features by compressing the phase-space distribution of a cat state.
