Results

Boosting the signal!

In collbaoration with the experimental group @UniPV, we show the selective generation of identical photon pairs in silicon chip. This result will appear in the Phyiscal Review Letter.

Results

Let's squeeze!

In collaboration with Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc., we demonstrated the largest amount of squeezing yet reported from a nanophotonic source. This result is now avalable in Nature Communication.

Results

Topological photonics

We show that it is possible to generate photons that are hyper-entangled in energy and path in a system exhbiting photonic topological protection. This result is now available in Optics Letters.

Results

Long-range BSWs

Propagation losses as low as 5 dB/km can be obtained in TE-like BSWs by a proper photonic band gap engineering for both light polarizations. This work is now published in Optics Letters
