Extending Quantum Optical Benchmarks with Entanglement Measures

Published Jan 1, 2011• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Benchmarks based on entanglement verification can show when optical devices are in the quantum domain. Using no additional resources, we extend existing benchmarks to rigorously quantify the entanglement, covering nearly all of the quantum domain.

Quantifying the strength of optical communication devices using entanglement measures

Nathan Killoran, Norbert Lütkenhaus

The quantum nature of an optical device can be verified using benchmarks based on entanglement verification. Without requiring additional resources, we show how to rigourously extend such benchmarks to quantify how well devices preserve entanglement.

Strong quantitative benchmarking of quantum optical devices

Nathan Killoran, Norbert Lütkenhaus

Quantum communication devices, such as quantum repeaters, quantum memories, or quantum channels, are unavoidably exposed to imperfections. However, the presence of imperfections can be tolerated, as long as we can verify that such devices retain their quantum advantages. Benchmarks based on witnessing entanglement have proven useful for verifying the true quantum nature of these devices. The next challenge is to characterize how strongly a device is within the quantum domain. We present a method, based on entanglement measures and rigorous state truncation, which allows us to characterize the degree of quantumness of optical devices. This method serves as a quantitative extension to a large class of previously known quantum benchmarks, requiring no additional information beyond what is already used for the nonquantitative benchmarks.

Witnessing and quantifying stellar rank with the Wigner function

Oliver Hahn, Alex Maltesson, Varun Upreti +5 more

Quantifying non-Gaussianity is essential for assessing the computational power of bosonic quantum systems. We introduce a framework to witness and quantify non-Gaussianity from displaced parity measurements, and we directly apply it to experimental data obtained with superconducting cavities. Our method estimates fidelities with target pure states from the displaced parity measurements, enabling certification of non-Gaussianity via the stellar rank. We further introduce refined witnesses computed by measuring the value of the Wigner function at a few points, providing efficient certification tools outperforming existing ones. Applying these techniques to Fock, binomial, cat, and GKP experimental data, we rigorously certify non-Gaussian resources and establish a stellar rank of $8$ for a GKP state, setting a new benchmark across all quantum platforms. Our methods enable a rigorous quantification of non-Gaussian quantum resources directly applicable to superconducting devices.
