Imperfect Quantum Photonic Neural Networks

We model a quantum photonic neural network based on imperfect components, as would be the case for realistic chips.

Nanophotonics Design using Inverse Design

We present an inverse-design approach to significantly improve the figures of merit for chiral photonics with quantum emitters in topological photonic crystal slab waveguides
Eric Nussbaum, Nir Rotenberg, Stephen Hughes
Optimizing the chiral Purcell factor for unidirectional single photon emitters in topological photonic crystal waveguides using inverse design,  Phys. Rev. A 106, 033514 (2022)

 

Photonics for artificial intelligence and neuromorphic computing

Neuromorphic photonics offers sub-nanosecond latencies, providing a complementary opportunity to extend the domain of artificial intelligence. Here, we review recent advances in integrated photonic neuromorphic systems, discuss current and future challenges, and outline the advances in science and technology needed to meet those challenges.

Continuous-variable entanglement in a two-mode lossy cavity: An analytical solution

We show that the exact solution for the nonlinearly-generated state in a two-mode lossy cavity system is a two-mode squeezed thermal state
