Emergence of highly coherent two-level systems in a noisy and dense quantum network

Quantum sensors and qubits are usually two-level systems (TLS), the quantum analogues of classical bits assuming binary values 0 or 1. They are useful to the extent to which superpositions of 0 and 1 persist despite a noisy environment. The standard prescr ...

Terahertz waveform synthesis in integrated thin-film lithium niobate platform

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus

Bridging the "terahertz gap" relies upon synthesizing arbitrary waveforms in the terahertz domain enabling applications that require both narrow band sources for sensing and few-cycle drives for classical and quantum objects. However, realization of custom ...

Resonators with tailored optical path by cascaded-mode conversions

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus

Optical resonators enable the generation, manipulation, and storage of electromagnetic waves. The physics underlying their operation is determined by the interference of electromagnetic waves, giving rise to the resonance spectrum. This mechanism causes th ...

Holographic imaging of electromagnetic fields via electron-light quantum interference

Fabrizio Carbone, Tom Theodorus Antonius Lummen, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Enrico Pomarico, Gabriele Berruto, Tatiana Latychevskaia

Holography relies on the interference between a known reference and a signal of interest to reconstruct both the amplitude and the phase of that signal. With electrons, the extension of holography to the ultrafast time domain remains a challenge, although ...
