摘要： In this paper, we present a dual-mode adaptive singular value decomposition ghost imaging (A-SVD GI), which can be easily switched between the modes of imaging and edge detection. It can adaptively localize the foreground pixels via a threshold selection method. Then only the foreground region is illuminated by the singular value decomposition (SVD) - based patterns, consequently retrieving high-quality images with fewer sampling ratios. By changing the selecting range of foreground pixels, the A-SVD GI can be switched to the mode of edge detection to directly reveal the edge of objects, without needing the original image. We investigate the performance of these two modes through both numerical simulations and experiments. We also develop a single-round scheme to halve measurement numbers in experiments, instead of separately illuminating positive and negative patterns in traditional methods. The binarized SVD patterns, generated by the spatial dithering method, are modulated by a digital micromirror device (DMD) to speed up the data acquisition. This dual-mode A-SVD GI can be applied in various applications, such as remote sensing or target recognition, and could be further extended for multi-modality functional imaging/detection.

摘要： Squeezed light is a critical resource in quantum sensing and information processing. Due to the inherently weak optical nonlinearity and limited interaction volume, considerable pump power is typically needed to obtain efficient interactions to generate squeezed light in bulk crystals. Integrated photonics offers an elegant way to increase the nonlinearity by confining light strictly inside the waveguide. For the construction of large-scale quantum systems performing many-photon operations, it is essential to integrate various functional modules on a chip. However, fabrication imperfections and transmission crosstalk may add unwanted diffraction and coupling to other photonic elements, reducing the quality of squeezing. Here, by introducing the topological phase, we experimentally demonstrate the topologically protected nonlinear process of spontaneous four-wave mixing enabling the generation of squeezed light on a silica chip. We measure the cross-correlations at different evolution distances for various topological sites and verify the non-classical features with high fidelity. The squeezing parameters are measured to certify the protection of cavity-free, strongly squeezed states. The demonstration of topological protection for squeezed light on a chip brings new opportunities for quantum integrated photonics, opening novel approaches for the design of advanced multi-photon circuits.

摘要： Dynamic localization, which originates from the phenomena of particle evolution suppression under an externally applied AC electric field, has been simulated by suppressed light evolution in periodically-curved photonic arrays. However, experimental studies on their quantitative dynamic transport properties and application for quantum information processing are rare. Here we fabricate one-dimensional and hexagonal two-dimensional arrays, both with sinusoidal curvature. We successfully observe the suppressed single-photon evolution patterns, and for the first time measure the variances to study their transport properties. For one-dimensional arrays, the measured variances match both the analytical electric field calculation and the quantum walk Hamiltonian engineering approach. For hexagonal arrays, as anisotropic effective couplings in four directions are mutually dependent, the analytical approach suffers, while quantum walk conveniently incorporates all anisotropic coupling coefficients in the Hamiltonian and solves its exponential as a whole, yielding consistent variances with our experimental results. Furthermore, we implement a nearly complete localization to show that it can preserve both the initial injection and the wave-packet after some evolution, acting as a memory of a flexible time scale in integrated photonics. We demonstrate a useful quantum simulation of dynamic localization for studying their anisotropic transport properties, and a promising application of dynamic localization as a building block for quantum information processing in integrated photonics.
