“轨道角动量:从经典光学到量子信息”专辑前言北大核心CSCD

光子既是经典信息也是量子信息的理想载体。单个光子不仅可以携带自旋角动量,还可以携带轨道角动量。自旋角动量的研究历史比较悠久,早在1909年, Poynting就将宏观上光波的圆偏振态和微观上单个光子的自旋角动量联系起来。但直到1992年,荷兰Leidon大学的Allen等才在理论上确认光子也可以携带另外一种形式的角动量――轨道角动量,它来源于光波的螺旋相位。     

轨道角动量光束非线性转换研究进展北大核心CSCD

轨道角动量(OAM)是光的一个重要的自由度。由于携带OAM的光束具有特殊的强度相位分布以及力学效应,使得此类光束在高速光通信、测量、成像、光镊和量子信息中具有广泛的应用。关于OAM光束在准相位匹配晶体(QPM)中的频率变换研究,一方面可以研究OAM光束参与非线性相互作用时与高斯光束不同的物理机制;另一方面,非线性过程提供了多种有效的光场调控手段,可以实现携带OAM光场不同自由度的精细调控,为满足不同的光学应用奠定基础。综述了近十年来OAM光束在QPM晶体中的非线性转换研究主要进展,具体包括:非线性过程中OAM光束的守恒、传输、演化和干涉行为研究,高效率的OAM激光和单光子态频率转换研究,OAM频率转换效率模式非依赖性研究,矢量光束的频率转换研究,以及无后向选择的高维OAM纠缠态的制备研究。最后讨论和展望了OAM在QPM晶体中频率转换方面的未来研究趋势。

Slow light via four-wave mixing in a hot rubidium vapour

In this work,we report on an off-resonant four-wave mixing experiment via a ladder-type configuration in a hot rubidium atomic vapour.We find for the first time,to the best of our knowledge,that the generated light is delayed compared with the reference.At the same time,the seeded signal beam is also delayed,though the delay time is not as so large as the one that the generated light has.Both delayed times can be adjusted experimentally by controlling the two-photon detuning.The experimental results are in good agreement with our theoretical predictions.Our results may be important for storing telecom-band photons.     

Adjusting the properties of the photon generated via an optical parametric oscillator by using a pulse pumped laser

The cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion far below threshold can be used to generate a narrow-band photon pair efficiently. Previous experiments on the cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion almost always utilize continuous wave pump light, but the pulse pumped case is rarely reported. One disadvantage of the continuous wave case is that the photon pair is produced randomly within the coherence time of the pump, which limits its application in the quantum information realm. However, a pulse pump can help to solve this problem. In this paper, we theoretically analyze pulse pumped cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion in detail and show how the pump pulse affects the multi-photon interference visibility, two-photon waveform, joint spectrum and spectral brightness.     

Properties of a dielectric plate using entangled two-photon states

We theoretically study the properties of a dielectric plate with a modified Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer. The fourth-order correlation functions are calculated in two regimes, which are divided depending on the relative size between the thickness of the dielectric plate and the one-photon coherence length. When the thickness of the dielectric plate is less than the one-photon coherence length, a novel modulation behavior of the coincidence rate is observed, which has not been discussed before. If the thickness of the dielectric plate is larger than the one-photon coherence length, coalescence and anti-coalescence are observed. The obtained results highlight the effects of a linear optical element on fourth-order interference.

Review of quantum simulation based on Rydberg many-body system

Quantum simulation has been developed extensively over the past decades,widely applied to different models to explore dynamics in the quantum regime.Rydberg atoms have strong dipole-dipole interactions and interact with each other over a long distance,which makes it straightforward to build many-body interacting quantum systems to simulate specific models.Additionally,neutral atoms are easily manipulated due to their weak interactions.These advantages make Rydberg many-body system an ideal platform to implement quantum simulations.This paper reviews several quantum simulations for different models based on Rydberg many-body systems,including quantum Ising models in one dimension and two dimensions mainly for quantum magnetism,XY model for excitation transport,SSH model for symmetry-protected topological phases,and critical self-organized behaviors in many-body systems.Besides,some challenges and promising directions of quantum simulations based on Rydberg many-body system are discussed in this paper.
