Phase Modulation at the Few-Photon Level for Weak-Nonlinearity-Based Quantum Computing

Vivek Venkataraman, Kasturi Saha, Alexander L. Gaeta

We produce cross-phase shifts of a few milliradians on a meter beam with <20 signal photons for potential application in weak-nonlinearity-based quantum computing using a two-photon transition in Rb vapor confined to photonic bandgap fibers.

Nonlinear Optics at the Few Photon Level

Alexander L. Gaeta

Through use of Rubidium-filled photonic band-gap fibers, nonlinear optics at the few-photon level is achieved through either cross-phase or cross-absorption modulation. This indicates that our system can be applied to weak-nonlinearity based quantum computing.

Nonlinear Optics at the Few-Photon Level

Alex L. Gaeta

Through use of Rb-filled photonic crystal fibers, we demonstrate intensity modulation and cross-phase modulation at the few photon level in a single pass without the use of a cavity. Such a system can be applied to quantum information applications.
