Testing Ultrafast Two-Photon SpectralAmplitudes via Optical Fibres
We test two-dimensional TPSA of biphoton light emitted
via ultrafast spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) using the
effect of group-velocity dispersion in optical fibres. Further, we apply this
technique to demonstrate the engineering of biphoton spectral properties by
acting on the pump pulse shape
Academic Journalism: the Evolution of the Types of Rationality
В статье показано, что наблюдения о типах рациональности (В. С. Степин) и этапах эволюции науки (Т. Кун) можно экстраполировать и на развитие теоретического знания о журналистике. На основе анализа содержания 1106 диссертаций автор системно представил этапы развития типов рациональности в теории журналистики.It is shown for the first time that the observations about the types of rationality (V. S. Stepin) and the stages of the evolution of science (T. Kuhn) can be extrapolated to the development of theoretical knowledge about journalism. On the basis of the content of 1106 theses the author shows the stages of development of types of rationality in the theory of journalism
Experimental characterization of multi-photon entanglement with intensity correlation functions
Generation of bright squeezed vacuum in the Karassiov states
We suggest an experimental procedure allowing one to prepare squeezed vacuum in a special type of generalized Bell states, first introduced by V.P. Karassiov. We present the first results on the experimental generation of such states and observation of their polarization properties
Macroscopic Pure State of Light Free of Polarization Noise
The preparation of completely nonpolarized light is seemingly easy; an everyday example is sunlight. The task is much more difficult if light has to be in a pure quantum state, as required by most quantum-technology applications. The pure quantum states of light obtained so far are either polarized or, in rare cases, manifest hidden polarization; even if their intensities are invariant to polarization transformations, higher-order moments are not. We experimentally demonstrate the preparation of the macroscopic singlet Bell state, which is pure, is completely nonpolarized, and has no polarization noise. Simultaneous fluctuation suppression in three Stokes observables below the shot-noise limit is demonstrated, opening perspectives for noiseless polarization measurements. The state is shown to be invariant to polarization transformations. This robust highly entangled isotropic state promises to fuel important applications in photonic quantum technologies
Possibility Investigation of Experimental Verification of General Bell Inequality Violation for Polarization Scalar Light Based Realization
We discuss the fundamental problems of nonclassical correlations and microscopic entanglement experimental observation possibility for multiphoton quantum light beams. Optical beams of multiphoton nonclassical light are of practical interest due to possibility of applications in quantum metrology and quantum informatics. Quantum macroscopic states of light are the significant information carrier in practical realization of quantum computing algorithms, quantum dense coding, quantum key distribution, quantum teleportation and other cases of quantum communications. And quantum macroscopic light beam can be used as high sensitive probe field in special type spectroscopy and in light sources and detectors etalonless calibration
Interference of macroscopic beams on a beam splitter: phase uncertainty converted into photon-number uncertainty
Squeezed-vacuum twin beams, commonly generated through parametric downconversion, are known to have perfect photon-number correlations. According to the Heisenberg principle, this is accompanied by a huge uncertainty in their relative phase. By overlapping bright twin beams on a beam splitter, we convert phase fluctuations into photon-number fluctuations and observe this uncertainty as a typical 'U-shape' of the output photon-number distribution. This effect, although reported for atomic ensembles and giving hope for phase super-resolution, has never been observed for light beams. The shape of the normalized photon-number difference distribution is similar to the one that would be observed for high-order Fock states. It can be also mimicked by classical beams with artificially mixed phase, but without any perspective for phase super-resolution. The probability distribution at the beam splitter output can be used for filtering macroscopic superpositions at the input
