Abstract

Toward the implementation of universal quantum computing in the optical frequency comb, we recently demonstrated the entanglement of 60 cavity modes of a single optical parametric oscillator into 15 independent quadripartite ring cluster states.

One-Way Quantum Computing in the Optical Frequency Comb

Nicolas C. Menicucci, Steven T. Flammia, Olivier Pfister

One-way quantum computing allows any quantum algorithm to be implemented easily using just measurements. The difficult part is creating the universal resource, a cluster state, on which the measurements are made. We propose a scalable method that uses a single, multimode optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The method is very efficient and generates a continuous-variable cluster state, universal for quantum computation, with quantum information encoded in the quadratures of the optical frequency comb of the OPO.

Quantum computing in the optical frequency comb of one optical parametric oscillator (Conference Presentation)

Olivier Pfister

The practical implementation of quantum computing faces the two key requirements of achieving scalability and maintaining quantum coherence. While the latter has been reached by ion-trap and superconducting qubit platforms to the level required for quantum error correction to take place, the former has been reached to record levels (thousands of qubit equivalents, called qumodes) using the quantum optics of entangled electromagnetic fields. In this talk, I will present the experimental realization of quantum computing substrates called cluster entangled states in the optical frequency comb of a single parametric oscillator, and prospects for translation in integrated optics.

Large-scale frequency- and time-domain quantum entanglement over the optical frequency comb (Conference Presentation)

Olivier Pfister

When it comes to practical quantum computing, the two main challenges are circumventing decoherence (devastating quantum errors due to interactions with the environmental bath) and achieving scalability (as many qubits as needed for a real-life, game-changing computation). We show that using, in lieu of qubits, the "qumodes" represented by the resonant fields of the quantum optical frequency comb of an optical parametric oscillator allows one to create bona fide, large scale quantum computing processors, pre-entangled in a cluster state. We detail our recent demonstration of 60-qumode entanglement (out of an estimated 3000) and present an extension to combining this frequency-tagged with time-tagged entanglement, in order to generate an arbitrarily large, universal quantum computing processor.
