Quantum Networking with Path-Entangled Single-Photon States (Level 3)

Instructors: Krister Shalm (NIST) and Mike Mazurek (University of Colorado) This course will give an overview of a quantum networking architecture based on all-optical technology for distributing path-entangled states of single photons. Topics covered will include: generation of heralded, pure, single-photon states with spontaneous parametric down conversion, single-photon detection with superconducting nanowire detectors, Bell-state measurements for path-encoded states, and all-optical quantum memories.
