Absorption-Based Ranging from Ambient Thermal Radiation without Known Emissivities

May 15, 2022
Author(s)
Unay Dorken Gallastegi, Hoover Rueda-Chacon, Marty Stevens, Vivek Goyal
We present passive absorption-based ranging using long-wave infrared hyperspectral measurements of an outdoor scene. Regularization and parametric modeling of transmittance enable good accuracy without knowing temperatures or emissivities of scene objects

Witnessing the survival of time-energy entanglement through biological tissue and media

June 9, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel J. Lum, Michael Mazurek, Alexander Mikhaylov, Kristen M. Parzuchowski, Ryan M. Wilson, Marcus Cicerone, Ralph Jimenez, Thomas Gerrits, Martin Stevens, Charles Camp
In this work, we demonstrate the preservation of time-energy entanglement of near-IR photons through thick biological media ( 1.55 mm) and tissue ( 235 um) at room temperature. Using a Franson-type interferometer, we demonstrate interferometric contrast of

Demonstration that Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering Requires More than One Bit of Faster-than-Light Information Transmission

Yu Xiang, Michael Mazurek, Joshua Bienfang, Michael Wayne, Carlos Abellan, Waldimar Amaya, Morgan Mitchell, Richard Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Qiongyi He, Marty Stevens, Krister Shalm, Howard Wiseman
Schrödinger held that a local quantum system has some objectively real quantum state and no other (hidden) properties. He therefore took the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) phenomenon, which he generalized and called 'steering', to require nonlocal

Experimental Low-Latency Device-Independent Quantum Randomness

January 10, 2020
Author(s)
Yanbao Zhang, Lynden K. Shalm, Joshua C. Bienfang, Martin J. Stevens, Michael D. Mazurek, Sae Woo Nam, Carlos Abellan, Waldimar Amaya, Morgan Mitchell, Honghao Fu, Carl A. Miller, Alan Mink, Emanuel H. Knill
Applications of randomness such as private key generation and public randomness beacons require small blocks of certified random bits on demand. Device-independent quantum randomness can produce such random bits, but existing quantum-proof protocols and

Experimentally Generated Random Numbers Certified by the Impossibility of Superluminal Signaling

April 11, 2018
Author(s)
Peter L. Bierhorst, Emanuel H. Knill, Scott C. Glancy, Yanbao Zhang, Alan Mink, Stephen P. Jordan, Andrea Rommal, Yi-Kai Liu, Bradley Christensen, Sae Woo Nam, Martin J. Stevens, Lynden K. Shalm
From dice to modern complex circuits, there have been many attempts to build increasingly better devices to generate random numbers. Today, randomness is fundamental to security and cryptographic systems, as well as safeguarding privacy. A key challenge

All-silicon light-emitting diodes waveguide-integrated with superconducting single-photon detectors

October 2, 2017
Author(s)
Sonia M. Buckley, Jeffrey T. Chiles, Adam N. McCaughan, Galan Moody, Kevin L. Silverman, Martin J. Stevens, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Jeffrey M. Shainline
An on-chip, silicon-compatible light source has long been pursued for telecommunications, with limited success. However, for integrated systems utilizing superconducting detectors, cryogenic operation is already required. This allows these systems to

Fano fluctuations in superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors

August 9, 2017
Author(s)
Alex Kozorezov, Colin Lambert, Francesco Marsili, Marty Stevens, Varun Verma, Matthew Shaw, Richard Mirin
Because of their universal nature, Fano fluctuations are expected to play an important role in the behavior of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). Taking into account Fano fluctuations we predict that the photon counting rate as a
