Sub-Poissonian Photon Gun by Coherent Diffusive Photonics

Project description

Compact, non-classical light sources for advanced optical imaging and metrology

The EU-funded PhoG project plans to deliver a compact, versatile, deterministic source of quantum light or photon gun based on integrated waveguide networks with engineered nonlinear loss. Quantum systems with engineered nonlinear losses are more robust compared to those with attenuated quantum coherent states that are typically used in devices for convenience. PhoG’s devices will act as either a deterministic source of highly sub-Poissonian light or entangled photons in different state configurations. These devices could enhance super-resolution imaging and improve the stability of commercial atomic clocks.
