[ANGLÈS] We put forward a new scheme to enhance the capabilities of currently available acousto-optic frequency shifters (AOFS) by making use of the idea of weak value amplification. The key result of our approach is that ...

We study the importance of the quality of random numbers in Monte Carlo simulations of 2D Ising systems. Simulations are carried out at critical temperature to find the dynamic scaling law of the linear relaxation time. ...

In days where Science Fiction uses the word ?Quantum? to justify any weird phenomena, we are actually on the edge of the Second Quantum Revolution. The ability to harness the potential of the quantum state of single particles ...

Nanolasers are a fundamental piece of all-optical integrated circuits and their several applications. In this work, the nanolaser is a system of two coupled nanocavities in a semiconductor photonic crystal, characterized ...

We study the dissipative dynamics of a three level atom in a cascade configuration driven by two independent lasers and coupled to a semi-infinite waveguide. The coupling to the waveguide is chiral, in the sense that each ...

[ANGLÈS] We study restricted models of measurement-based quantum computation; and we investigate whether their output probability distributions can be sampled from efficiently on a classical computer. We find that even for ...

The concept of entanglement was originally introduced to explain correlations existing between two spatially separated systems, that cannot be described using classical ideas. Interestingly, in recent years, it has been ...

Heralded single-photon sources are a fundamental building block for optical quantum technologies. These sources need to be unfiltered and integrated to have good scalability and avoid unnecessary losses. To attain this ...

We report the implementation of a highly sensitive tunable beam displacer based on the concept of weak value amplification, that allows to displace the centroid of a Gaussian beam a distance much smaller than its beam width ...

Semi-device-independent quantum protocols realize information tasks – e.g. secure key distribution, random access coding, and randomness generation – in a scenario where no assumption on the internal working of the devices ...
