IQO has been invited to present their spatial light modulator (SLM) experiments for ultrafast pulses spectral shaping in a webinar organised by Santec corporation.

Our article on “Achieving the ultimate quantum timing resolution” has recently been published in Physical Review X Quantum and has been highlighted in Physics, the online magazine of the American Physical society.

A new way to control interference, a phenomenon that appears when waves meet, is realized by manipulating individual quantum particles of light.

SA’s Quantum 2.0 conference took place online from 14th -17th of September. IQO was there to present our recent work on the truly scalable generation of GHZ states and quantum limited multi-parameter estimation.

Our recent work on the remote shaping of single photon spectra has been published in Optics Express and has been highlighted as Editor’s Pick.

Our paper entitled “Counter-propagating photon pair generation in a nonlinear waveguide" has been published in Optics Express. In the paper, we present counter-propagating single photon pair generated around 1.5 µm in a periodically poled nonlinear waveguide with short poling periods of 1.7 µm. Periodic poling technique has emerged as a vital phase-matched approach to generate co-propagating photon pair generations in different nonlinear…
