Quantum Nondemolition Measurements Improved by a Squeezed Meter Input

Robert Bruckmeier, Klaus Schneider, Stephan Schiller +1 more

Continuous quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements of the amplitude quadrature of a 1064 nm wave are performed with a monolithic dual-port degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The quality of the measurement is limited in part by the quantum fluctuations carried by the vacuum meter input wave. Improved QND measurements are realized by injecting 3.4 dB amplitude-squeezed light into the meter input port of the OPA. This achieves increased squeezing and correlation of the output signal and meter waves, and both improved operation as a quantum optical tap and as a quantum state preparator. The all-solid-state system was operated for 5 h with high stability.

Quantum nondemolition measurement with a nonclassical meter input and an electro-optic enhancement

Ulrik L. Andersen, B. C. Buchler, Hans‐A. Bachor +1 more

Optical quantum nondemolition measurements are performed using a beamsplitter with a nonclassical meter input and a electro-optic feedforward loop. The nonclassical meter input is provided by a stable 4.5 dB amplitude squeezed source generated by an optical parametric amplifier. We show that the implementation of a feedforward loop gives a substantial improvement in the signal transfer efficiency. With a 92% reflective beamsplitter we measure a transfer coefficient of Ts+m = 1.81. The quantum state preparation ability of our system is evaluated using two-dimensional correlation plots. This technique allows the direct visualization of the quantum correlations between the outputs of the QND system.

Experimental Realization of a Quantum Measurement for Intensity Difference Fluctuation Using a Beam Splitter

Hai Wang, Yun Zhang, Qing Pan +4 more

A new quantum measurement scheme of intensity difference fluctuation between two light beams of equal mean intensity is presented. In this system a beam splitter is used as the coupling device and the twin beams with high quantum correlation are injected into its dark port as the input meter wave instead of the usual vacuum field. A measurement satisfying all the quantum nondemolition criteria is experimentally achieved. The measured sum of the transfer coefficients and the conditional variance are, respectively, ${T}_{s}{+T}_{m}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}1.31$ and ${V}_{s/m}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}\ensuremath{-}2.1\mathrm{dB}$.
