Heralded quantum repeater based on the scattering of photons off single emitters using parametric down-conversion source

Guo‐Zhu Song, Fang-Zhou Wu, Mei Zhang +1 more

Quantum repeater is the key element in quantum communication and quantum information processing. Here, we investigate the possibility of achieving a heralded quantum repeater based on the scattering of photons off single emitters in one-dimensional waveguides. We design the compact quantum circuits for nonlocal entanglement generation, entanglement swapping, and entanglement purification, and discuss the feasibility of our protocols with current experimental technology. In our scheme, we use a parametric down-conversion source instead of ideal single-photon sources to realize the heralded quantum repeater. Moreover, our protocols can turn faulty events into the detection of photon polarization, and the fidelity can reach 100% in principle. Our scheme is attractive and scalable, since it can be realized with artificial solid-state quantum systems. With developed experimental technique on controlling emitter-waveguide systems, the repeater may be very useful in long-distance quantum communication.

Heralded quantum gates for hybrid systems via waveguide-mediated photon scattering

Guo‐Zhu Song, Jin‐Liang Guo, Qian Liu +2 more

Universal quantum gates play a critical role in quantum information processing. Here, based on the scattering property of photons off single emitters in one-dimensional waveguides, we present some heralded protocols for realizing controlled-not, Toffoli, and Fredkin gates on hybrid systems. The control qubit of our gates is encoded on a flying photon, and the target qubits are encoded in the degenerate ground states of the emitter. In our schemes, the faulty scattering processes between emitters and photons caused by system imperfections can be transformed into the detection of photon polarization. That is, our three quantum gates are accomplished in a heralded way. Moreover, the quantum circuits for the three gates are versatile and compact, and no additional qubits are required. With current technique on manipulating the emitter-waveguide system, our protocols may be experimentally feasible. This work provides an effective avenue for implementing quantum logic gates.
