The influences of background and environmental noise on coincidence detection are investigated with entangled photons produced by parametric down-conversion process. When the down-converted photons are mixed with thermal light, the coincidence rate did not vary with increasing noise level because the accidental coincidences are discriminated at the short resolving time window. The entangled photon source and the coincidence technique can effectively be used for a noise-free communication channel in the new field of quantum information transmission and processing. ssing.

Quantum ghost imaging uses quantum mechanically entangled photons to form an image of an object. The quantum ghost image is also obtained by means of classical coincidence measurements with a classically correlated light source[1,2]. In this work we performed classical coincidence imaging experiments with classically correlated beams in their direction of propagation. We observed the ghost interference patterns which were usually made by quantum mechanically entangled states and we also analyze in detail the mechanism of the ghost imaging with classically correlated lights. We made? the classically correlated source with an Ar laser and controlled the direction of the light by a mirror? mounted on a small speaker.

A quantum light source is an essential element for quantum information technology, including quantum communication, quantum sensor, and quantum computer. Quantum light sources including photon number state, entangled state, and squeezed state can be divided into two types according to the generation mechanism, namely single emitter and non-linear based systems. The single emitter platform contains atom/ion trap, solid-state defect/color center, two-dimensional material, and semiconductor quantum dot, which can emit deterministic photons. The non-linear based platform contains spontaneous parametric down-conversion and spontaneous four-wave mixing, which can emit probabilistic photon pairs. For each platform, we give an overview of the recent research trends of the generation, manipulation, and integration of single photon and entangled photon sources. The characteristics of quantum light sources are investigated for each platform. In addition, we briefly introduce quantum sensing, quantum communication, and quantum computing applications based on quantum light sources. We discuss the challenges and prospects of quantum light sources for quantum information technology.

짧은 파장의 레이저 빔이 비선형 결정에 입사할 때 긴 파장의 두 광으로 자발적으로 변환하는 매개 하향변환(parametric down-convension; PDC)과정을 통해서 양자적 상관관계를 갖는 광원을 얻을 수 있다. PDC 과정은 에너지 보존 (w$_{p}$ = w$_{s}$ ＋ w$_{i}$)과 운동량 보존 (k$_{p}$ = k$_{s}$ ＋ k$_{i}$)에 해당하는, 위상조화 (phase matching) 조건이 잘 만족할 때 효과적으로 일어난다. PDC에서 광자들이 아주 짧은 시간에 쌍으로 발생한다는 것과 이러한 광자쌍을 동시에 측정하는(coincidence count; 동시계수) 방법을 이용하면 효과적으로 신호와 잡음을 분리해 낼수 있고, 배경(background)이나 잡음(noise)보다 미약한 신호를 통해서도 정보를 전달할 수 있는 가능성을 제공해준다. (중략)
