Nano-photonics, where optical structures can manipulate light at the sub-wavelength scale, is making important advances towards optical communications, imaging and sensing. A novel platform suitable for fundamental investigations of light propagation through micro- and nano-structures will be discussed. This platform is based on a dielectric multilayer that sustains Bloch surface waves (BSWs). We...
We propose and experimentally implement the delayed-choice decoherence suppression protocol. Using photonic entanglement, we successfully demonstrated that the choice to suppress decoherence can be delayed after decoherence and even after the detection of a qubit.
Optical signals are increasingly used to transfer and process information, because of their high speed, bandwidth, and propagation distances in transparent optical networks. However, the miniaturization of photonic devices faces a hard block: the diffraction limit. One proposed means to go beyond this limit is to use surface plasmons polaritons (SPPs), charge density waves at the interface between...
Plastic scintillators show several desired characteristics in dosimetry; especially tissue-equivalence is a definite advantage as an electrical personal dosimeter (EPD). The EPD based on an array-type Silicon Photomultiplier (SiPM) coupled to the polystyrene scintillator was proposed at the last time and has been improving. In this research, for the EPD application, the characteristics of plastic...
We propose a new protocol for quantum key distribution without basis reconciliation. We show that the security level of the protocol against photon number splitting (PNS) attack is enhanced, relative to the BB84 protocol.
