By thoroughly analyzing parametric down-conversion(PDC), we put forward a model to directly describe the spatial-spectral distribution of these photon pairs, which is experimentally demonstrated by a 532-nm pumped type-I PDC in a beta barium borate(BBO) crystal. The measured spectral curves show good agreement with the theoretical predictions over the entire spectral range. We further demonstrate that, as signal wavelength increases, the photon pairs are initially spectrally distinguishable, then partly indistinguishable, finally completely indistinguishable with a maximum bandwidth of approximately 500 nm. Utilizing photon-number-resolving single-photon detectors(SPD), we observe the average photon number decreases significantly more slowly than the spectral intensity as the wavelength deviates from the peak, and the photon numbers follow a quasi-Poisson distribution well for wavelengths around the peak, but a thermal distribution better describes the statistics near the spectral boundaries. Finally,we use the signal photons as the trigger to generate heralded Fock states up to 10 photons in near-infrared range, which are suitable for quantum simulation and quantum key distribution in optical fiber networks.展开更多

The external bias flux regulated by a counter can effectively adjust the bias time on each superconducting flux qubit so that each flux qubit can pass in turn through the circuit cavity and thereby avoid the effect of decoherence. We further investigate the quantum correlation dynamics of coupling superconducting qubits in a Fock state. The results reveal that the lower the photon number of the light field in the number state, the stronger the interaction between qubits is, then the more beneficial to maintaining entanglement between qubits it will be.展开更多

We derive new generating function formulas and binomial formula involving twovariable Hermite polynomials to reach this result. The photon number average in this new optical field is m＋｜α｜^2e^-2κt,which indicates that controlling the photon number can be realized by adjusting the value of m or ｜α｜2 or κ. The time evolution law of displaced Fock state in a thermo reservoir is thus revealed.展开更多

Through the selective detecting of atomic state, Schrodinger cat states and entangled coherent states are easily generated. When the atom is driven by a weak classical field and the cavity field is in the Schrodinger cat state, we study the conditions of generating the Fock states and the maximal success probability. The maximal success probability in our scheme is larger than the previous one.展开更多
