Experimental preparation of eight-partite cluster state for photonic qumodes

Xiaolong Su, Yaping Zhao, Shuhong Hao +3 more

The preparation of multipartite entangled states is the prerequisite for exploring quantum information networks and quantum computation. In this Letter, we present what we believe is the first experimental demonstration of an eight-partite spatially separated continuous variable (CV) cluster state of optical modes. Via the linearly optical transformation of eight squeezed states of light, the eight-partite cluster entangled state with amplitude and phase quadrature correlations are prepared. The generated eight entangled photonic qumodes are spatially separated, which provides valuable quantum resources for implementing CV quantum information protocols.

Improving Eight-State Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution by Applying Photon Subtraction

Qingquan Peng, Xiaodong Wu, Ying Guo

We propose a new method to effectively improve the performance of a quantum key distribution with eight-state continuous variables by the photon subtraction method. This operation is effective in increasing and distilling Gaussian entanglement between quantum states, and can be easily realized by existing technology. Simulation results show that the channel-loss tolerance of the eight-state continuous variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) protocol can be extended by the appropriate photon subtraction algorithm; namely, single-photon subtraction.

Experimental quantum network coding

He Lu, Zheng-Da Li, Xu-Fei Yin +7 more

Abstract Distributing quantum state and entanglement between distant nodes is a crucial task in distributed quantum information processing on large-scale quantum networks. Quantum network coding provides an alternative solution for quantum-state distribution, especially when the bottleneck problems must be considered and high communication speed is required. Here, we report the first experimental realization of quantum network coding on the butterfly network. With the help of prior entanglements shared between senders, two quantum states can be transmitted perfectly through the butterfly network. We demonstrate this protocol by employing eight photons generated via spontaneous parametric downconversion. We observe cross-transmission of single-photon states with an average fidelity of 0.9685 ± 0.0013, and that of two-photon entanglement with an average fidelity of 0.9611 ± 0.0061, both of which are greater than the theoretical upper bounds without prior entanglement.
