Exploring new frontiers in single-photon detectors: Unveiling surprising nonlinear effects
Our research revealed anomalous nonlinear effects in single-photon detectors, challenging established theories. Understanding and fully characterizing these effects will significantly enhance measurement accuracy in various scientific and technological applications. The results were published in Applied Physics Reviews. The preprint is

Accurate polarimetry with liquid crystals
In our new work published in Optics Express, we present a calibration method for twisted nematic liquid crystals (TNLCs) that allows accurate polarization manipulation. The calibration method does not require knowledge of parameters or a model of the constituent TNLC

Certification of quantum properties of single-photon detectors
Our work on quantum-feature certification for single-photon detectors was published in Physical Review Letters, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.126.043601, arXiv: 2101.03509. We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a procedure for direct certification of quantum non-Gaussianity and Wigner function negativity of photonic quantum detectors. Surprisingly,
