Dynamic reconfigurability of photonic circuitry is key to controlling the walk and retrieving its full operation potential. Universal quantum processing schemes based on time-bin encoding in gated fibre loops have been proposed but not demonstrated yet, mainly due to gate inefficiencies. Here we present a scalable quantum processor based on the discrete-time quantum walk of time-bin-entangled photon pairs on synthetic temporal photonic lattices implemented on a coupled fibre-loop system. We utilize this scheme to path-optimize quantum state operations, including the generation of two- and four-level time-bin entanglement and the respective two-photon interference. The design of the programmable temporal photonic lattice enabled us to control the dynamic of the walk, leading to an increase in the coincidence counts and quantum interference measurements without recurring to post-selection. Our results show how temporal synthetic dimensions can pave the way towards efficient quantum information processing, including quantum phase estimation, Boson sampling and the realization of topological phases of matter for high-dimensional quantum systems in a cost-effective, scalable and robust fibre-based setup.","PeriodicalId":18926,"journal":{"name":"Nature Photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":35.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142431140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Compton scattering between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an intense laser can reveal a new interaction regime, known as strong-field QED. Here we present an experimental demonstration of nonlinear Compton scattering in a strong laser field, in which a laser-accelerated multi-gigaelectronvolt electron scatters off hundreds of laser photons and converts them into a single gamma-ray photon with several-hundred-megaelectronvolt energy. Along with particle-in-cell (PIC)-QED simulations and analytical calculations, our experimental measurement of gamma-ray spectra verifies the occurrence of Compton scattering in the strongly nonlinear regime, paving the road to examine nonlinear Breit–Wheeler pair production and QED cascades.

However, current imaging probes struggle to simultaneously achieve high sensitivity, deep-tissue penetration and tissue specificity. Here we report size- and shape-resolved fluorescent DNA framework (FDF) dots with tail emission in the second near-infrared window (1,000–1,700 nm, NIR-II), which enable near-single-cell-level, tumour-targeting deep-tissue (~1 cm) NIR-II imaging in tumour-bearing mouse models. The construction of DNA frameworks with embedded hydrophobic nanocavity results in the non-covalent encapsulation of a designed NIR-Ib (900–1,000 nm) probe (dye Sq964). The FDF dots exhibit high water solubility, brightness and photostability. We find that the stable tumour retention of FDF dots with enhanced signal intensity arises from their shape-dependent accumulation in tumour cells. FDF-dot-based cancer imaging reveals in vivo sensitivity down to ~40 tumour cells, high tumour-to-normal tissue ratios up to ~26 and long-term imaging over 11 days. We also demonstrate NIR-II-image-guided breast cancer surgery with the complete excision of metastases with a minimum size of ~53 μm (~20 cells).","PeriodicalId":18926,"journal":{"name":"Nature Photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":35.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142404926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the working mechanisms of TSC have been demonstrated, the roles that the intrinsic molecular skeleton and extrinsic aggregates play remain unclear. Here four trinaphthylmethanol isomers and four trinaphthylmethane (TNM) isomers with varying connecting sites of naphthalene were synthesized, and their photophysical properties were systematically investigated. The strength of TSC was found to rise from 222-TNM to 111-TNM with the increased number of 1-naphthalene units. In particular, 111-TNM was found to support efficient long-wavelength clusteroluminescence with an absolute quantum yield of 55%. Experimental and theoretical results revealed that the inherent attribute of robust intramolecular interactions within individual molecules is fundamental for ultrastrong TSC, and intermolecular interactions play an auxiliary role in fortifying and stabilizing intramolecular interactions. This work reveals the intrinsic and extrinsic factors for manipulating TSC and provides a reliable strategy for constructing non-conjugated luminogens with efficient clusteroluminescence. Efficient organic emitters of ultraviolet light are realized by the use of isomers that exhibit strong through-space conjugation.","PeriodicalId":18926,"journal":{"name":"Nature Photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":32.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142404927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been shown that quantum mechanics offers some advantages for this type of task. A promising model for randomness manipulation is provided by Bernoulli factories—protocols capable of changing the bias of Bernoulli random processes in a controlled way. At first, this framework was proposed and investigated in a fully classical regime. Recent extensions of this model to the quantum case showed the possibility of implementing a wider class of randomness manipulation functions. We propose a Bernoulli factory scheme with quantum states as the input and output, using a photonic-path-encoding approach. Our scheme is modular and universal and its functioning is truly oblivious of the input bias—characteristics that were missing in earlier work. We report on experimental implementations using an integrated and fully programmable photonic platform, thereby demonstrating the viability of our approach. These results open new paths for randomness manipulation with integrated quantum technologies.","PeriodicalId":18926,"journal":{"name":"Nature Photonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":35.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142369033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
