Down-conversion of a single photon as a probe of many-body localization

Cristiano Ciuti

Decay of a particle into more particles is a ubiquitous phenomenon to interacting quantum systems, taking place in colliders, nuclear reactors or solids. In a nonlinear medium, even a single photon would decay by down-converting (splitting) into lower-freq ...

Microscopic origin of polarization-entangled Stokes-anti-Stokes photons in diamond

Christophe Marcel Georges Galland

Time-correlated Stokes-anti-Stokes (SaS) scattering has been studied in different transparent media, more frequently in diamond. While the nonclassical nature of the SaS scattered photons has been well established, the presence of entanglement in this spon ...

PET REBINNING WITH REGULARIZED DENSITY SPLINES

Michaël Unser

PET reconstruction algorithms have long relied on sinogram rebinning. However, as detectors grow smaller in a recent wave of cutting-edge scanners, individual sensors no longer accrue hundreds of photons. Instead, most detect a single photon or none at all ...

We propose a mechanism to engineer an n-photon blockade in a nonlinear cavity with an n-photon parametric drive lambda(adagger n + an). When an n-photon-excitation resonance condition is satisfied, the presence of n photons in the cavity suppress ...

Effective photon mass and (dark) photon conversion in the inhomogeneous Universe

Kyrylo Bondarenko

Photons traveling cosmological distances through the inhomogeneous Universe experience a great variation in their in-medium induced effective mass. Using the EAGLE suite of hydrodynamical simulations, we infer the free electron distribution and thereby the ...
