We demonstrate three and four input multiports in a three dimensional glass platform, fabricated using the femtosecond laser direct-write technique. Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference is observed and a full quantum characterisation is performed, obtaining two photon correlation matrices for all combinations of input and output ports. For the three-port case, the quantum visibilities are accurately predicted solely from measurement of the classical coupling ratios.

We experimentally demonstrate the non-monotonic dependence of genuine many-particle interference signals on the particles mutual distinguishability. Our theoretical analysis shows that such non-monotonicity is a generic feature of the quantum to clas sical transition in multiparticle correlation functions of more than two particles.

Kernel methods are ubiquitous in classical machine learning, and recently their formal similarity with quantum mechanics has been established. To grasp the potential advantage of quantum machine learning, it is necessary to understand the distinction between non-classical kernel functions and classical kernels. This paper builds on a recently proposed phase space nonclassicality witness [Bohmann, Agudelo, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 133601 (2020)] to derive a witness for the kernels quantumness in continuous-variable systems. We discuss the role of kernels nonclassicality in data distribution in the feature space and the effect of imperfect state preparation. Furthermore, we show that the non-classical kernels lead to the quantum advantage in parameter estimation. Our work highlights the role of the phase space correlation functions in understanding the distinction between classical machine learning from quantum machine learning.
Fourth-order interference is an information processing primitive for photonic quantum technologies. When used in conjunction with post-selection, it forms the basis of photonic controlled logic gates, entangling measurements, and can be used to produ ce quantum correlations. Here, using classical weak coherent states as inputs, we study fourth-order interference in novel $4 times 4$ multi-port beam splitters built within multi-core optical fibers. Using two mutually incoherent weak laser pulses as inputs, we observe high-quality fourth order interference between photons from different cores, as well as self-interference of a two-photon wavepacket. In addition, we show that quantum correlations, in the form of quantum discord, can be maximized by controlling the intensity ratio between the two input weak coherent states. This should allow for the exploitation of quantum correlations in future telecommunication networks.
It is shown that quantum walks on one-dimensional arrays of special linear-optical units allow the simulation of discrete-time Hamiltonian systems with distinct topological phases. In particular, a slightly modified version of the Su-Schrieffer-Heege r (SSH) system can be simulated, which exhibits states of nonzero winding number and has topologically protected boundary states. In the large-system limit this approach uses quadratically fewer resources to carry out quantum simulations than previous linear-optical approaches and can be readily generalized to higher-dimensional systems. The basic optical units that implement this simulation consist of combinations of optical multiports that allow photons to reverse direction.
Non-reciprocal photonic devices are essential components of classical optical information processing. It is interesting and important to investigate their feasibility in the quantum world. In this work, the quantum properties of an on-chip silicon ni tride (SiN)-based magneto-optical (MO) isolator were studied using a single-photon non-reciprocal dynamical transmission experiment. The measured isolation ratio for single photons achieved was 12.33 dB, which proved the functionality of our on-chip isolator. The quantum coherence of the passing single photons was further verified using high-visibility quantum interference. Our work will promote on-chip isolators within the integrated quantum circuits and help introduce novel phenomena in quantum information processes.
