Nine-frequency-path quantum interferometry over 60 km of optical fiber

Batiste Galmès, Kien Phan Huy, Luca Furfaro +2 more

The archetypal quantum interferometry experiment yields an interference pattern that results from the indistinguishability of two spatiotemporal paths available to a photon or to a pair of entangled photons. A fundamental challenge in quantum interferometry is to perform such experiments with a higher number of paths and over large distances. We demonstrate that using indistinguishable frequency paths instead of spatiotemporal ones allows for robust, high-dimensional quantum interferometry in optical fibers. In our system, twin photons from an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pair are offered up to nine frequency paths after propagation in long-haul optical fibers and we show that the multipath quantum interference patterns can be faithfully restored after the photons travel a total distance of up to $60\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\mathrm{km}$.

Frequency comb single-photon interferometry

Sun Kyung Lee, Noh Soo Han, Tai Hyun Yoon +1 more

Abstract Due to their frequency scaling and long-term coherence, frequency combs at the single-photon level can provide a fascinating platform for developments in quantum technology. Here we demonstrate frequency comb single-photon interferometry in an unheralded manner. We are able to induce coherence by erasing the which-way information of path-entangled photon pairs. The photon pairs are prepared using a dual parametric down-conversion pumped by a highly stable frequency comb laser and an ultra-narrow seed laser. This is conducted at the extremely low-conversion efficiency regime. The unique feature of our quantum interferometer is that the induced one-photon interference of the path-encoded single photons (signal), with multiple frequency components, is observed with a unit visibility without heralding conjugate photons (idler). We demonstrate that quantum information and frequency comb technology can be combined to realize quantum information platforms. We expect this will contribute to the application of quantum information and optical measurements beyond the classical limit.
