Twin beams are useful tools in quantum technologies. However, due to their asymmetry in photon number distribution, a scheme needs to be optimized in order to fully exploit their quantum advantage. Here, we demonstrate a detection scheme for bright pico-second twin beams generated from a fiber optical parametric amplifier, in which the electronic gain of the detecting process is optimized in real time by digital signal processing without accurately calibrating the detection channels. Twin beams of -7.5 dB intensity difference squeezing (IDS) (the highest in an optical fiber system) is generated at a brightness of about 0.1 W in peak power. Our result paves the way for applications of twin beams in time-varying channels with asymmetric loss or noise.

Holographic acoustic tweezers have various biomedical applications due to their ability to flexibly and rapidly synthesize acoustic fields for manipulating single or multiple particles. Existing multi-particle manipulation techniques are usually realized by precisely designing the incident wave's phase distribution to synthesize a complex and steady-state acoustic field containing multiple acoustic trapping beams. However, interference effects between multiple beams tend to produce artifacts that trap particles in unwanted positions, limiting accuracy and the number of manipulated particles.

In this work, we design and implement a new bifocal diffractive spiral lens within an optical tweezers system. The proposed diffractive optical element coined Kolokaski Kinoform Spiral Lens (KKSL), generates twin optical vortices along the propagation direction. The axial positions, as well as the diameters of the generated vortex beams, are correlated with the Kolakoski aperiodic sequence introduced in the design of the diffractive lens.

Twin beams (TWBs) with tight spatial correlations detected by an intensified CCD camera with high spatial resolution are used to prepare the initial fields. Up to three photons are added or subtracted to arrive at the nonclassical and non-Gaussian states.
