Abstract

We show that spatiotemporally overlapping quantum photonic signals in orthogonal time-frequency modes can be discriminated via quantum frequency conversion during a single passage through a waveguide.

Spatial-Mode-Selective Frequency Conversion

Afshin Shamsshooli, Young B. Kwon, Cheng Guo +5 more

We discuss wavelength conversion of a selected signal spatial mode, which preserves its quantum state and does not disturb other signal spatial modes. We present the results for a lithium niobate waveguide and a few-mode-fiber.

Efficient sorting of single-photon wave packets by temporal-mode interferometry

Dileep V. Reddy, Michael G. Raymer, Colin J. McKinstrie

We propose a highly efficient method to decompose and analyze photons into copolarized, transverse-mode matched, temporally and spectrally overlapping, but field-orthogonal, longitudinal temporal modes. The method uses cascaded nonlinear-optical quantum frequency conversion.

Harnessing the time-frequency structure of ultrafast quantum states

Benjamin Brecht, Vahid Ansari, Andreas Christ +3 more

Photonic quantum information applications based on time-frequency (TF) modes of ultrafast quantum states of light hold the promise of exploiting the benefits of high-dimensional information encoding and, at the same time, easy integrability into existing communication networks. Here we present tools and waveguide devices for the controlled generation, complete characterization and mode-selective manipulation and detection of ultrafast quantum states with tailored TF mode structure.

Mode-selective all-optical switching via quantum frequency conversion

Abijith S. Kowligy, Prem Kumar, Yu-Ping Huang

We propose mode-selective all-optical switching by utilizing quantum frequency conversion in a single-mode regime. This can potentially augment existing tools for all-optical information processing in the quantum domain.

Quantum optical arbitrary waveform manipulation and measurement in real time

Abijith S. Kowligy, Paritosh Manurkar, Neil Corzo +7 more

We describe a technique for dynamic quantum optical arbitrary-waveform generation and manipulation, which is capable of mode selectively operating on quantum signals without inducing significant loss or decoherence. It is built upon combining the developed tools of quantum frequency conversion and optical arbitrary waveform generation. Considering realistic parameters, we propose and analyze applications such as programmable reshaping of picosecond-scale temporal modes, selective frequency conversion of any one or superposition of those modes, and mode-resolved photon counting. We also report on experimental progress to distinguish two overlapping, orthogonal temporal modes, demonstrating over 8 dB extinction between picosecond-scale time-frequency modes, which agrees well with our theory. Our theoretical and experimental progress, as a whole, points to an enabling optical technique for various applications such as ultradense quantum coding, unity-efficiency cavity-atom quantum memories, and high-speed quantum computing.
