Qubit degradation due to cross-phase modulation photon-number measurement

Jeffrey H. Shapiro, Roy S. Bondurant

Abstract

The error probability of quantum nondemolition detection of a vacuum/one-photon qubit is shown to increase from 0 to 1/2 as the post-interaction fidelity increases from 2/3 to 1.

Qubit degradation due to cross-phase-modulation photon-number measurement

Jeffrey H. Shapiro, Roy S. Bondurant

Kerr effect cross-phase-modulation between signal and probe beams has been proposed and demonstrated as a means for quantum nondemolition (QND) measurement of the signal beam's photon number by homodyne detection of the probe beam. Recently, such QND measurements have been suggested as providing a new route to photonic quantum computation. For a signal-beam qubit, whose computational basis is the vacuum and one-photon states, the QND detector's error probability is shown to be determined by the qubit fidelity after the cross-phase-modulation interaction, with the former increasing from 0 to $\frac{1}{2}$ as the latter increases from $\frac{2}{3}$ to 1. This relationship is shown to hold regardless of the probe beam's input state. It also applies, without modification, when the cross-phase-modulation interaction is replaced with a more general unitary transformation.

Quantum-nondemolition measurement using spectral correlations between fiber-optical pulses

Friedrich König, T. Rechtenwald, M. Zielonka +3 more

Summary form only given. The collision of optical pulses in a fiber is a promising concept for quantum-nondemolition (QND) measurements of the photon-number using the Kerr effect induced cross-phase modulation (XPM). Spectral filtering of solitons produced strong photon-number noise reduction below shot noise in direct detection. We present a novel QND experiment based on the XPM-induced frequency shift of colliding pulses and on direct detection using spectral filtering.

Numerical Simulation of Decoherence-control Processes in Quantum Computers

Using a numerical simulation of the evolution of a qubit interacting with the environment we show that quantum error detection and correction can work effectively even when the recovery procedure introduces errors.

Transient photon-number correlations of interacting solitons

Friedrich König, M. Zielonka, Andreas Sizmann

The multimode quantum fluctuations of colliding solitons are investigated. Strong mutual quantum correlations appear in their intensity spectrum as the solitons approach each other in the collision. The leaving solitons erase the interpulse correlations. These transient correlations are induced by cross phase modulation, whereas the intrapulse correlations are due to self phase modulation. As a possible application a direct detection quantum-nondemolition (QND) measurement of the photon number is proposed. It shows a performance better than a collision induced phase-shift QND measurement.
