Higher (2nd)-order polarization-Wigner function for `even' entangled bi-modal coherent states

Ravi Shankar Singh, Sunil Pratap Singh, Lallan Yadava +1 more

Higher (2nd)-order Wigner distribution function in quantum phase space for entangled bi-modal coherent states, a representative of higher (2nd)-order optical-polarization, is introduced by generalizing kernel (transiting) operator in Cahill-Glauber C(s)-correspondence rule. The nature is analyzed which reveals the occurrence of oscillating three peaks: 'two' for individual bi-modes and third for interference between modes. Also, the graphics of 2nd-order polarization-Wigner distribution function, incisively, demonstrates that it is of non-Gaussian nature attaining non-negative values in quantum phase space.

Non-Gaussian entanglement revealed by higher-order quadrature cumulants

Abhinav Verma, Olga Solodovnikova, Jonas S. Neergaard-Nielsen +1 more

Entanglement is central to quantum physics, yet detecting and exploiting it in non-Gaussian systems remains a major challenge. In continuous variable platforms, standard inseparability criteria based on Gaussian statistics-such as the Duan-Simon criterion-fail when quantum correlations are encoded in higher moments of the field quadratures. Here we introduce a framework for detecting non-Gaussian entanglement using higher-order quadrature cumulants. In the Gaussian limit, the lowest order condition reduces to the Duan criterion, while higher-order violations reveal entanglement inaccessible to second-order methods. We experimentally demonstrate a tomography-free certification of inseparability in photon-subtracted squeezed states of light, where Gaussian witnesses fail despite the presence of entanglement. We further show that such higher-order inseparability enables enhanced quantum teleportation of Wigner negativity as compared to Gaussian protocols. These results identify higher-order cumulants as natural observables for non-Gaussian entanglement and open new routes to harnessing non-Gaussian resources in continuous variable quantum technologies.

Implementing arbitrary multimode continuous-variable quantum gates with fixed non-Gaussian states and adaptive linear optics

Fumiya Hanamura, Warit Asavanant, H. Nagayoshi +5 more

Non-Gaussian quantum gates are essential components for optical quantum information processing. However, the efficient implementation of practically important multimode higher-order non-Gaussian gates has not been comprehensively studied. We propose a measurement-based method to directly implement general, multimode, and higher-order non-Gaussian gates using only fixed non-Gaussian ancillary states and adaptive linear optics. Compared to existing methods, our method allows for a more resource-efficient and experimentally feasible implementation of multimode gates that are important for various applications in optical quantum technology, such as the two-mode cubic quantum nondemolition gate or the three-mode continuous-variable Toffoli gate, and their higher-order extensions. Our results will expedite the progress toward fault-tolerant universal quantum computing with light. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
