Controlling the various degrees‐of‐freedom (DoFs) of structured light at both quantum and
classical levels is of paramount importance in optics. It is a conventional paradigm to treat …

Photonic quantum technologies represent a promising platform for several applications,
ranging from long-distance communications to the simulation of complex phenomena …

The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

Distributed quantum networks will allow users to perform tasks and to interact in ways which
are not possible with present-day technology. Their implementation is a key challenge for …

STIRAP (stimulated Raman adiabatic passage) is a powerful laser-based method, usually
involving two photons, for efficient and selective transfer of populations between quantum …

We present a formalism that accounts for the interaction of a local quantum system, such as
an atom or a cavity, with traveling pulses of quantized radiation. We assume Markovian …

We present a scheme for linear optical quantum computing using time-bin-encoded qubits in
a single spatial mode. We show methods for single-qubit operations and heralded controlled …

Quantum-enhanced sensing and metrology pave the way for promising routes to fulfil the
present day fundamental and technological demands for integrated chips which surpass the …
