Our new results from heralded distribution of entanglement are out now in Optica Quantum! In this work we experimentally demonstrated a scheme for distributing polarization-entangled photons for future quantum networks. To do this, we started with four independent single photons and created two entangled pairs from these. We then measured one photon from each pair in such a way that we entangle the two remaining photons (thus "swapping" the entanglement between the original pairs).

A new paper on our state-of-the-art 14-pixel single photon detector with photon number resolution is now out in Nano Letters! Our novel design uses 14 independent pixels in an interleaved geometry, allowing the device to deliver high performance single-photon detection, whilst also being able to resolve the number of photons incident on the detector. These types of devices could find immediate application in linear optic quantum computing.
