Quantum correlation, as an intrinsic property of quantum mechanics, has been widely employed to test the fundamental physical principles and explore the quantum-enhanced technologies. However, such correlation would be drowned and even destroyed in the conditions of high levels of loss and noise, which drops into the classical realm and renders quantum advantage ineffective. Especially in low light conditions, conventional linear classifiers are unable to extract and distinguish quantum and classical correlations with high accuracy.

However, it remains a challenge to flexibly transport quantum states on a chip, when dealing with large-scale sophisticated photonic designs. The equivalence between certain aspects of quantum optics and solid-state physics makes it possible to utilize a range of powerful approaches in photonics, including topologically protected boundary states, graphene edge states, and dynamic localization.

Results: Among the three species (R. soongarica, Stipa glareosa and Allium polyrhizum) of the salt stressed grassland ecosystem, the conductivity of R.
The photophysical and electrochemical properties of four novel donor-accepter (D-A) conjugated oligomers a-d based on 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and electrondeficient heterocycle rings were investigated. The UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and cyclic voltammertry studies suggest that the oligomers are expected to provide enhanced charge-transporting properties for the development of efficient electroluminescent materials. Furthermore, the third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) measurements made by Z-scan technique indicate that they have good third-order NLO response and are desired materias for fabricating nonlinear photonic devices.

The results of hyper-Rayleigh scattering and UV-vis spectra show that static first molecular hyperpolarizability (beta(0)) values of bromo-containing chromophores are 1.24-5.

Surface enhanced resonance Raman scattering (SERRS) was employed to study the molecule alignment of carbozole and azobenzene disperse red polymer on the surface of rough silver thin film. According to the selection rule of optical transitions and experiment results, it was found that the surface geometry of carbozole and azobenzene disperse red polymer was: this was physical adsorption between the carbazole group, which is from the monomer of carbazole and nitro-group which is from the monomer of azobenzene on the surface of rough silver film, and there is almost no interaction between the principal chain and the substrate because of the distance. This geometrical configuration of CAP on the surface of the substrate was proposed to damage the stabilities and efficiency of azobenzene derivatives based optical storage devices.

Up-converted blue luminescence was obviously observed in Yb:YAG under excitation in the near-infrared region with a wavelength 940 nm. Experimental evidence was provided by the fact that the intensity of 498 nm luminescence shows a quadratic dependence on excitation power, and the intensity of blue luminescence increased with the increase in Yb ion concentration.
