Metasurfaces for quantum photonics

AS Solntsev, GS Agarwal, YS Kivshar - Nature Photonics, 2021 - nature.com
Rapid progress in the development of metamaterials and metaphotonics allowed bulky
optical assemblies to be replaced with thin nanostructured films, often called metasurfaces …

Colloquium: Understanding quantum weak values: Basics and applications

J Dressel, M Malik, FM Miatto, AN Jordan… - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2014 - APS
Since its introduction 25 years ago, the quantum weak value has gradually transitioned from
a theoretical curiosity to a practical laboratory tool. While its utility is apparent in the recent …

Direct measurement of the quantum wavefunction

JS Lundeen, B Sutherland, A Patel, C Stewart… - Nature, 2011 - nature.com
The wavefunction is the complex distribution used to completely describe a quantum system,
and is central to quantum theory. But despite its fundamental role, it is typically introduced as …

Observing the average trajectories of single photons in a two-slit interferometer

S Kocsis, B Braverman, S Ravets, MJ Stevens… - Science, 2011 - science.org
A consequence of the quantum mechanical uncertainty principle is that one may not discuss
the path or “trajectory” that a quantum particle takes, because any measurement of position …

Reference frames, superselection rules, and quantum information

SD Bartlett, T Rudolph, RW Spekkens - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2007 - APS
Recently, there has been much interest in a new kind of “unspeakable” quantum information
that stands to regular quantum information in the same way that a direction in space or a …

Ultrasensitive beam deflection measurement via interferometric weak value amplification

PB Dixon, DJ Starling, AN Jordan, JC Howell - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
We report on the use of an interferometric weak value technique to amplify very small
transverse deflections of an optical beam. By entangling the beam's transverse degrees of …

Metasurface-assisted quantum nonlocal weak-measurement microscopy

J Liu, Q Yang, Y Shou, S Chen, W Shu, G Chen… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
In standard quantum weak measurements, preselection and postselection of quantum states
are implemented in the same photon. Here we go beyond this restrictive setting and …

Experimental quantum computing without entanglement

BP Lanyon, M Barbieri, MP Almeida, AG White - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
Deterministic quantum computation with one pure qubit (DQC1) is an efficient model of
computation that uses highly mixed states. Unlike pure-state models, its power is not derived …

Procedure for direct measurement of general quantum states using weak measurement

JS Lundeen, C Bamber - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
Recent work by Lundeen et al.[Nature (London) 474, 188 (2011) NATUAS 0028-0836
10.1038/nature10120] directly measured the wave function by weakly measuring a variable …

Nonperturbative theory of weak pre-and post-selected measurements

AG Kofman, S Ashhab, F Nori - Physics Reports, 2012 - Elsevier
This paper starts with a brief review of the topic of strong and weak pre-and post-selected
(PPS) quantum measurements, as well as weak values, and afterwards presents original …
