- Broadband quadrature-squeezed vacuum and nonclassical photon number correlations from a nanophotonic deviceWe report the first demonstrations of both quadrature squeezed vacuum and photon number difference squeezing generated in an integrated nanophotonic device. Squeezed light is generated via strongly driven spontaneous four-wave mixing below threshold in silicon nitride microring resonators. The post Broadband quadrature-squeezed vacuum and nonclassical photon number correlations from a ... read more
