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,
Interference filters at off-normal angles of incidence
Majority of interference filters are designed to be used at normal angle of incidence (AOI). The primary effect of an increase in the incident angle on an interference coating is a shift in spectral performance toward shorter wavelengths. In other
Jamiołkowski-Choi isomorphism
The Choi-Jamiołkowski isomorphism is an isomorphism between linear maps from Hilbert space \({\cal H}\) to Hilbert space \({\cal K}\) and operators living in the tensor product space \({\cal H}\otimes{\cal K}\). This isomorphism provides a simple way of studying linear maps
Erf function approximation
Approximation of the error function, $${\rm erf}(z) = \frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}}\int_{-\infty}^{z}\!{\rm d}x\,{\rm e}^{-x^2},$$ using elementary functions could be useful, particularly for PDC and spatial walk-off simulations… Wikipedia, Sergei Winitzki’s paper
