Multiphoton detection using visible light photon counter

Kim, Jungsang, Takeuchi, Shigeki, Yamamoto, Yoshihisa, Hogue, Henry H.·1999·Applied Physics Letters

Abstract

Visible light photon counters feature noise-free avalanche multiplication and narrow pulse height distribution for single photon detection events. Such a well-defined pulse height distribution for a single photon detection event, combined with the fact that the avalanche multiplication is confined to a small area of the whole detector, opens up the possibility for the simultaneous detection of two photons. In this letter, we investigated this capability using twin photons generated by parametric down conversion, and present a high quantum efficiency (∼47%) detection of two photons with good time resolution (∼2 ns), which can be distinguished from a single-photon incidence with a small bit-error rate (∼0.63%).

  • The KLM recipe consists of two parts: an optical circuit for a CNOT gate using linear optics, single photon sources, and photon number resolving detectors; and a scheme for increasing the success probability of this CNOT gate arbitrarily close to unity.

    “The KLM 'recipe' consists of two parts: an optical circuit for a CNOT gate using linear optics, single photon sources [11], and photon number resolving detectors [12]; and a scheme [13] for increasing the success probability of this CNOT gate ( P = 1 / 16) arbitrarily close to unity, which harnesses quantum teleportation [14] with linear optics [15].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
