Abstract

We demonstrate a scheme for coherently rotating the quantum frequency sidebands of an optical field. Applications for this scheme may be found in discrete and continuous variable quantum information experiments.

Coherent analysis of quantum optical sideband modes

We demonstrate a device that allows for the coherent analysis of a pair of optical frequency sidebands in an arbitrary basis. We show that our device is quantum noise limited and hence applications for this scheme may be found in discrete and continuous variable optical quantum information experiments.

Components for optical qubits encoded in sideband modes

Elanor H. Huntington, Timothy C. Ralph

We describe a scheme for the encoding and manipulation of single photon qubits in optical sideband modes using standard optical elements. We propose and analyze the radio frequency half-wave plate, which may be used to make arbitrary rotations of a state in the frequency basis, and the frequency beamsplitter, which may be used to separate (or combine) photons of different frequencies into (from) different spatial modes.

Measuring photon anti-bunching from sideband squeezing with continuous-variable techniques

Nicolai B. Grosse, Thomas Symul, Magdalena Stobińska +2 more

Photon anti-bunching, or the tendency of photons to be detected apart from one another, is characterized by the second-order coherence function which has previously been measured using discrete-variable (DV) single-photon counting methods. The authors theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate a continuous-variable (CV) technique for measuring the second-order coherence of quantum states of light at sideband frequencies. The scheme is based on the original Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) intensity interferometer, but instead uses optical homodyne detection in each arm, to obtain the second-order coherence from a set of quadrature amplitude correlation measurements (each of which can be independently time-averaged).
