Abstract

Mechanical resonators represent one of the most promising candidates to mediate the interaction between different quantum technologies, bridging the gap between efficient quantum computation and long-distance quantum communication. Here, we introduce an interferometric scheme where the interaction of a mechanical resonator with input-output quantum pulses is controlled by an independent classical drive. We design protocols for state teleportation and direct quantum state transfer, between distant mechanical resonators. The proposed device, feasible with state-of-the-art technology, can serve as a building block for the implementation of long-distance quantum networks of mechanical resonators.

Optomechanical Transducers for Long-Distance Quantum Communication

We describe a new scheme to interconvert stationary and photonic qubits which is based on indirect qubit-light interactions mediated by a mechanical resonator. This approach does not rely on the specific optical response of the qubit and thereby enables optical quantum interfaces for a wide range of solid state spin and charge based systems. We discuss the implementation of state transfer protocols between distant nodes of a quantum network and show that high transfer fidelities can be achieved under realistic experimental conditions.

Fast and efficient deterministic quantum state transfer between two remote mechanical resonators

Rezaei, Mojtaba, Kurosh Javidan, Hamidreza Ramezani +1 more

The main challenge in deterministic quantum state transfer in long-distance quantum communications is the transmission losses in the communication channel. To overcome this limitation, here we use the adiabatic theorem and find a lossless evolution path between two remote mechanical modes. By adiabatic variation of the effective coupling strengths between the two nodes and the intermediate optical channel modes, we engineer a transmission path for the quantum state transfer that is decoupled from the decaying fiber modes. Using our proposed method we show that one obtains a quantum state transfer with high efficiency. Furthermore, to bypass the slow nature of the adiabatic process and its sensitivity to the mechanical damping and noise as well as the strength of the driving pulses, we develop the shortcut to adiabatic passage protocol for our proposed quantum state transfer. Our results show that the shortcut to adiabaticity provides an efficient and fast quantum state transfer even for small values of the coupling strength. We show that the performance of our protocol for long-distance quantum communications remains efficient for transferring the quantum states between two remote mechanical resonators being hundred meters apart.

Optomechanical quantum teleportation

Bas Hensen, Niccolò Fiaschi, Andreas Wallucks +4 more

Quantum teleportation, the faithful transfer of an unknown input state onto a remote quantum system, is a key component in long distance quantum communication protocols[1] and distributed quantum computing[2,3]. At the same time high frequency nano-optomechanical systems[4] hold great promise as a node in a future quantum network, operating on-chip at low-loss telecom wavelengths with long mechanical lifetimes. Recent demonstrations include entanglement between two resonators[5], a quantum memory[6] and microwave to optics transduction[7]. However, quantum teleportation of an optical input state onto a long-lived optomechanical memory is an outstanding challenge. Here we present our recent experimental progress towards the implementation of quantum teleportation of a polarization-encoded optical input state onto a pair of nanomechanical resonators. We will present recent results as well as main sources of error and possible improvements and future applications.

Remote and controlled quantum teleportation network of the polarization squeezed state

Jieli Yan, Xiaoyu Zhou, Zhihui Yan +1 more

Quantum teleportation is a building block in quantum computation and quantum communication. The continuous-variable polarization squeezed state is a key resource in quantum networks, offering advantages for long-distance distribution and direct interfacing of quantum nodes. Although polarization squeezed state has been generated and distributed between remote users, it is a long-standing goal to implement controlled quantum teleportation of the polarization squeezed state with multiple remote users. Here, we propose a feasible scheme to teleport a polarization squeezed state among multiple remote users under control. The polarization state is transferred between different remote quantum networks, and the controlled quantum teleportation of the polarization state can be implemented in one quantum network involving multiple remote users. The results show that such a controlled quantum teleportation can be realized with 36 users through about 6-km free-space or fiber quantum channels, where the fidelity of 0.352 is achieved beyond the classical limit of 0.349 with an input squeezing variance of 0.25. This scheme provides a direct reference for the experimental implementation of remote and controlled quantum teleportation of polarization states, thus enabling more teleportation-based quantum network protocols.

Alice and Bob through a quantum mirror

M. Uria, C. Hermann-Avigliano, P. Solano +1 more

A quantum mirror is a device whose optical response, that is, transmission and reflection, can be controlled by a single qubit. Here, we propose the use of quantum mirrors as nodes in quantum networks. Propagating coherent states mediate the interaction between the control qubits of each quantum mirror. This allows implementing quantum teleportation, quantum state transfer, and entanglement swapping with success probability and average fidelity exponentially approaching unity as the average photon number increases. Furthermore, we show that quantum teleportation exhibits robustness against known sources of error, such as optical path phase difference, photon loss, and reduced quantum mirror reflectivity, presenting a promising alternative towards long-distance quantum communication.
