Integrated Photonic-Nano Technologies for Bio-applications

The IPN-Bio aims to foster and develop long-term interdisciplinary, inter-sectoral and international collaboration between participating organisations through R&I staff exchanges to share knowledge and ideas, transfer skills and boost career opportunities. The project objectives and challenges present a balanced mix between industrial application focused knowledge transfer and development and more far-looking studies for potentially ground-breaking applications by exploiting new emerging opportunities with the integration of photonic technology (fibre gratings, fibre tapers, acoustic optics, photonic crystal fibres (PCFs), quantum optic light, fibre lasers), nanotechnology and advanced 2D-layered nanomaterials (graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus) for the applications in health care and biomedical (label-free biosensing, real-time monitoring, early diagnosis of cancer and disease), food safety and environment monitoring.

Pure two-qubit states carried by single-photons: unrestricted generation and entanglement diagnosis by single-qubit tomography

We propose to implement and test two all-optical schemes that we have designed to allow the unrestricted generation of pure two-qubit states. In our schemes, the physical carriers of the two-qubit states are single photons. Our schemes combine the quantum nature of the carriers with the general nature of the employed qubits, which in our case are the degrees of freedom (DOFs) polarization and optical path. These DOFs are ascribable to both quantum and non-quantum systems. Besides providing the unrestricted generation of two-qubit states, our schemes also serve to perform state tomography. By conveniently projecting over one member of the path-DOF, our procedure furnishes full two-qubit state characterization by means of standard single-qubit polarization tomography (measurement of Stokes parameters) followed by a single interferometric measurement in one of the two schemes. Additionally, we obtain the degree of entanglement of the generated states by means of a recently established relationship between degree of polarization and concurrence. The latter is a standard quantifier of the degree of entanglement. The two tested schemes could present advantages and disadvantages with respect to each other. The present proposal should show which of the two schemes offers more advantages, and whether there is some tradeoff between accuracy and versatility when one uses the proposed layouts to produce specific targeted states. Our project connects to relevant aspects of the so-called quantum-classical border. The undefined status of this border precludes a sharp identification of the required resources to implement quantum algorithms that have been proposed to accomplish various tasks, such as data encryption, massive data processing, large-scale computer simulations, state teleportation, etc. All of this should be relevant to ONR. Indeed, the FY 2020 MURI solicitation includes among the topics of interest for ONR one which is titled ¿Quantum benefits without quantum fragi
