Abstract

Based on the concept of χ -matrix and Choi–Jamiólkowski states we develop the approach of quantum process reconstruction. The key part of the work is devoted to the adequacy of applied reconstruction models. The approach is tested with the statistical reconstruction of the polarization transformations in anisotropic and dispersive media realized by means of quartz plates and taking into account the spectral structure of input polarization states.

Mathematical modeling and experimental study of polarization echo in optically anisotropic media

Yu. I. Bogdanov, Alexander A. Kalinkin, S. P. Kulik +3 more

As optical systems are one of the candidates for implementation of a scalable quantum computer, it is important to develop an adequate method of description of both quantum states of light and operations performed by optical elements. Using the concept of chi-matrix representation of quantum operations and Choi-Jamiolkowski isomorphism we expand Jones calculus to allow description of evolution of mixed polarization states in linear optical systems. The developed method is then used to give a full description of polarization echo effect, which was described in 1 based on an analogy between the effects of polarization optics and spin dynamics. Theoretical predictions are confirmed by reconstructing operations performed by a series of quartz waveplates using quantum process tomography protocols.

PRECISE RECONSTRUCTION OF POLARIZATION QUANTUM STATES UNDER NOISY MEASUREMENT CONDITIONS

I. K. Golyshev, N. A. Bogdanova, Yu. I. Bogdanov +1 more

An accurate model for the reconstruction of polarization quantum states under noisy measurement conditions is developed. To ensure correct analysis of quantum state readout, a mathematical model of fuzzy measurements is applied. It is demonstrated that the proposed method significantly improves the fidelity of polarization state reconstruction taking into account quantum noise and decoherence processes.

Investigating the effect of amplitude and phase relaxation on the quality of quantum information technologies

In the formalism of quantum operations, we investigate the effect of the amplitude and phase relaxation on the evolution of quantum states. A model of the polarizing qubit, whose noises depend on the spectral degree of freedom that manifests itself in the process of light propagation in the anisotropic medium with dispersion, is discussed. An approximate analytical model is proposed for evaluating the effect of the phase plate on the polarizing state, taking into account the dispersion of light.

Measurement of polarization quantum states under chromatic aberration conditions

Yu. I. Bogdanov, B. I. Bantysh, Nadezhda A. Bogdanova +2 more

The wave plate is a basic device for transforming and measuring the polarization states of light. It is known that the transformation of light by means of two wave plates makes it possible to measure the state of polarization in an arbitrary basis. The finite spectral width of the light, however, leads to a chromatic aberration of the polarization quantum transformation caused by the parasitic dispersion of the birefringence of the plate material. This causes systematic errors in the tomography of quantum polarization states and significantly reduces its accuracy. This study is a development of our work1, in which an adequate model for quantum measurements of polarization qubits under chromatic aberration was first formulated. This work includes a generalization of the results obtained earlier for the cases of two-qubit states. Along with examples of random states those uniformly distributed over the Haar measure are considered. Using a matrix of complete information, it is quantitatively traced how the presence of chromatic aberrations under conditions of a finite spectral width of light leads to the loss of information in quantum measurements. It is shown that the use of the developed model of fuzzy measurements instead of the model of standard projection measurements makes it possible to suppress systematic errors of quantum tomography even when using high-order wave plates. It turns out that the fuzzy measurement model can give a significant increase in the reconstruction accuracy compared to the standard measurement model.

The study of amplitude and phase relaxation impact on the quality of quantum information technologies

Yu. I. Bogdanov, B. I. Bantysh, Andrey Yu. Chernyavskiy +2 more

The influence of amplitude and phase relaxation on evolution of quantum states within the formalism of quantum operations is considered. The model of polarizing qubits where noises are determined by the existence of spectral degree of freedom that shows up during the light propagation inside anisotropic mediums with dispersion is studied. Approximate analytic model for calculation of phase plate impact on polarizing state with dispersion influence taken into consideration is suggested.
