Unscrambling Entanglement through a Complex Medium

We demonstrate the transport of six-dimensional spatial-mode entanglement through a complex medium consisting of a commercial multi-mode fiber by carefully ‘scrambling’ the photon that did not enter it, rather than unscrambling the photon that did.

Unscrambling pixel entanglement through complex scattering channels

Mehul Malik, Will McCutcheon, Natalia Herrera Valencia +6 more

High-dimensional entanglement of structured light offers the potential for noise-robust, high-capacity quantum communication protocols. However, the generation, measurement, and transport of high-quality entanglement presents some unique challenges. We demonstrate the generation and measurement of two-photon macro-pixel entanglement with a record dimensionality, quality, and measurement speed. We then discuss an experiment where we unscramble high-dimensional pixel entanglement through a commercial multimode fibre. In contrast with classical techniques, entanglement is also used to measure the transmission matrix of the fibre. Interestingly, we are able to regain entanglement without manipulating the fibre or the photon that entered it.

Unscrambling Quantum Information with Clifford Decoders

Salvatore F. E. Oliviero, Lorenzo Leone, Seth Lloyd +1 more

Quantum information scrambling is a unitary process that destroys local correlations and spreads information throughout the system, effectively hiding it in nonlocal degrees of freedom. In principle, unscrambling this information is possible with perfect knowledge of the unitary dynamics [B. Yoshida and A. Kitaev, arXiv:1710.03363.]. However, this Letter demonstrates that even without previous knowledge of the internal dynamics, information can be efficiently decoded from an unknown scrambler by monitoring the outgoing information of a local subsystem. We show that rapidly mixing but not fully chaotic scramblers can be decoded using Clifford decoders. The essential properties of a scrambling unitary can be efficiently recovered, even if the process is exponentially complex. Specifically, we establish that a unitary operator composed of t non-Clifford gates admits a Clifford decoder up to t≤n.
