TRR 142 - Three-photon state generation with on-chip pump suppression in topological waveguides (A09*)
In this project, we experimentally and theoretically study a degenerate four-wave mixing source for the generation of three-photon states, where the photons are generated inside the topological mode and propagate away from the interaction region. The design using topological protected surface modes intrinsically provides a strong suppression of the ...

STORMYTUNE: Spectral-Temporal Metrology with Tailored Quantum Measurements – EU FET Open Project
STORMYTUNE is a three-year project within the framework of the EU’s Horizon 2020 FET Open Calls. The strategic goal of STORMYTUNE is to establish quantum time and frequency measurements as upcoming quantum technology. To this end, we develop novel quantum inspired methods for the measurement of timings and spectra with a resolution that overcomes ...
