SU(1,1) or nonlinear interferometers that is, Mach-Zehnder-like interferometers that replace the beam splitters with quantum light sources, have become increasingly relevant for applications.
We have demonstrated that a single nonlinear optical waveguide and a spectral pulse shaper can be used to realize frequency-encoded networks with up to 64 inputs and outputs
This past month, 5 members of IQO attended the annual Max Planck School of Photonics Autumn School in Nürnberg, Germany. From September 25th to September 29th, 4 PhD students and members of MPSP (Franz Roeder, Fabian, Schlue, Silia Babel, Ankita Khanda), as well as an MPSP alumna Dr. Laura Padberg, participated in professional development workshops and visited the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen. A poster session was…
