Quantum walks and quantum correlations in photonic lattices

Yoav Lahini
Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel

Quantum walks describe the random walk behavior of a quantum particle. I will describe the implementation of a quantum walk for photons in waveguide lattices. I will then describe a study of Hanbury-Brown Twiss type correlations between two quantum walkers (photon pairs) in periodic lattices, in disordered lattices exhibiting Anderson localization, and in tilted lattices exhibiting Bloch Oscillations.
