First evidence of reactor antineutrinos in a water Cherenkov detector

Date Published: Mar 01, 2023

The SNO+ Collaboration find evidence that pure water can be used to measure antineutrinos from reactors at large distances

In a cocktail-party effect, the brain can focus on a single conversation in a noisy room. This is called blind source separation (BSS). We show a photonic (light-based) processor can isolate wireless signals from a noisy environment.

Research by Prof. Shastri, Prof. Tait and their team is published in Nature Communications

An imperfect quantum photonic neural network-based Bell-state analyzer with fabrication imperfections modelled after state-of-the-art silicon-on-insulator photonic elements (U, inset) and weak optical Kerr nonlinearities (Σ(π/4)). The network is trained to perform the input-output mapping of the Bell-state analyzer (see truth table) in the presence of all component-by-component errors, and thus learns to both overcome fabrication imperfections and get the most out of the available nonlinearities.
