  • QUANTUM LIGHT SOURCE WITH DUAL OPTICAL CAVITIES
    Publication number: 20250324820
    Abstract: A quantum light source includes a quantum emitter located within both a bullseye cavity and a Fabry-Perot cavity. The Fabry-Perot cavity is formed from first and second mirrors that face each other to define an optical axis extending therebetween. The bullseye cavity lies in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis and in between the first and second mirrors. The quantum emitter may be a quantum dot, a point defect in a crystal (e.g., nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond), an atom, or another type of quantum system. Spontaneous emission from the quantum emitter is strongly coupled into a mode of the Fabry-Perot cavity while the bullseye cavity uses destructive interference to prevent emission of photons along directions transverse to the axis of the Fabry-Perot cavity. Light leaks out of the Fabry-Perot cavity into a well-defined traveling-wave mode that can be efficiently coupled to an optical fiber.

  • Optical quantum logic for use in large operational spaces
    Patent number: 12216381
    Abstract: A method of generating a photon with multiple dimensions includes a step of generating a first photon encoded with quantum information in each of two or more frequency bins and at least one time bin. The method further includes performing a frequency dependent time operation to entangle (i.e. make non-separable) the frequency bins and the time bins in the photon.
