ABSTRACT: Counting the number of photons in an electromagnetic mode is an important tool for quantum information processing. In order to perform a single shot measurement, one usually encodes information about the photon number into a qubit state and read out the qubit. Repeating this procedure while varying the encoded single bit of information enables to pinpoint the number of photons. In this talk, I will present two experiments that address two main challenges in photocounting. First, I will show how one can avoid the sequential repetition of qubit measurements and instead use a single superconducting qubit in order to multiplex the measurement of the photon number in a stationary microwave mode. Second, I will show how we could convert a stationary mode counter into a photocounter of traveling wave packets using a quantum memory. RELATED PAPERS [1] Multiplexed photon number measurement A.
