We show that proper engineering of a nonlinear interaction induces quantum entanglement between the spatial and spectral degrees of freedom of incident photons via the all-optical analogue of the Stern-Gerlach effect.

We present temperature-dependent micro-PL studies on a single defect in hexagonal boron nitride. A zero-phonon line emission accompanied by Stokes and anti-Stokes phonon sidebands (≈ 6.5 meV) with a Debye-Waller factor of 0.59 is observed.

The postselection loophole rendered to date time-bin entanglement unsuitable for quantum cryptography and conclusive Bell’s test. We implemented a time-bin entanglement scheme free of the postselection, opening up to its exploitation in quantum information protocols.

We mimic one dimensional forced quantum walks by using the photonic implementation obtained by means of a sequence of liquid-crystal devices (”g-plates”), which apply polarization-dependent transverse kicks to the photons in the beam. We observed refocusing phenomena for localized initial states.

We demonstrate quantum random number generation with partially characterised devices based on a natural, physical assumption - a bound on the energy transmitted between preperations and measurements. We achieve a random bit rate above 1 MHz.
