Experimental observation of interorbital coupling

D Guzmán-Silva, G Cáceres-Aravena, RA Vicencio - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Interorbital coupling refers to the possibility of exciting orbital states by otherwise orthogonal
noninteracting modes, a forbidden process in photonic lattices due to intrinsic propagation …

Manipulating thermal light via displaced-photon subtraction

G Tatsi, DW Canning, U Zanforlin, L Mazzarella… - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
Thermal radiation played a pivotal role in the preliminary development of quantum physics
where it helped resolve the apparent incongruity of the ultraviolet catastrophe. In …

Link loss analysis for a satellite quantum communication down-link

The analysis of link loss is one of the first and most important steps for the design of an
optical communication system. This is particularly vital in quantum communications systems …

Covert information sharing via ghost displacement

U Zanforlin, G Tatsi, J Jeffers, GS Buller - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Ghost imaging research has demonstrated that it is possible to reproduce an image of an
object that has not interacted with the imaging light. In this paper we describe theoretically …

Quantum super-resolution imaging and hypothesis testing

U Zanforlin, C Lupo, PWR Connolly… - … for Quantum 2023, 2023 - spiedigitallibrary.org

Parity-swap state comparison amplifier for Schrödinger cat states

G Tatsi, L Mazzarella, J Jeffers - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
We propose a postselecting parity-swap amplifier for Schrödinger cat states that does not
require the amplified state to be known a priori. The device is based on a previously …

Ghost displacement

G Tatsi, U Zanforlin, GS Buller… - Quantum Technologies …, 2022 - spiedigitallibrary.org
We describe a technique whereby a coherent amplitude can be imprinted nonlocally on to a
beam of light with thermal statistics that has no phase information on average. We have …
