Abstract

Scalable quantum networks for quantum computation, communication, and metrology require new capabilities for interfacing quantum states of matter and light. I will provide an overview of recent theoretical and experimental progress in this area.

Quantum matter built from nanoscopic lattices of atoms and photons

Harry J. Kimble

As reviewed in Reference [1], new paradigms for optical physics emerge with lattices of atoms trapped in one and two-dimensional photonic crystals. Such systems provide new tools for quantum phases of light and matter, scalable quantum networks, and quantum metrology.

Linear optical quantum information processing, metrology and imaging

Jonathan P. Dowling

Recently it was shown that scalable quantum computing is possible with only linear optical elements and single-photon sources and detectors. I will discuss experimental and theoretical progress on these ideas and show how to adapt them to quantum communications devices as well as to sub-shotnoise quantum metrology and quantum imaging.Full-text article is not available.

Quantum networks enabled by quantum optics

Harry J. Kimble

Summary form only given. Quantum networks offer opportunities for the exploration of physical systems that have not heretofore existed in the natural world with applications to quantum computation, communication, metrology, and quantum many-body physics [1]. As illustrated in Fig. 1, a quantum network is created by generating and storing quantum states locally in quantum nodes. These nodes interact over quantum channels to enable entanglement to be spread across the network.In my presentation [2], I will provide an overview of quantum networks from formal to physical. I will discuss research at Caltech for the laboratory realization of small networks composed of atoms that interact strongly by way of single photons [3-6]. The goal is to achieve lithographic quantum optical circuits, for which atoms are trapped near microand nano-scopic dielectric structures and “wired” together by photons propagating through the circuit elements. Single atoms and atomic ensembles can endow quantum functionality for otherwise linear optical circuits and thereby the capability to build quantum networks component by component.

We show how to build quantum networks based on atoms trapped in cavities that are connected via optical fibers. This networks can be used for quantum communication and to scale up current models of quantum computers.
