Towards Quantum Process Tomography of an Optical Quantum Gate

Abstract

Here, we investigate the slowdown of low-light intensity pulses under the conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) using homodyne tomography measurement techniques. This technique is necessary for performing quantum process tomography for characterizing quantum systems.

Quantum Process Tomography of an Optically-Controlled Kerr Non-linearity

Connor Kupchak, Samuel Rind, Bertus Jordaan +1 more

Any optical quantum information processing machine would be comprised of fully-characterized constituent devices for both single state manipulations and tasks involving the interaction between multiple quantum optical states. Ideally for the latter, would be an apparatus capable of deterministic optical phase shifts that operate on input quantum states with the action mediated solely by auxiliary signal fields. Here we present the complete experimental characterization of a system designed for optically controlled phase shifts acting on single-photon level probe coherent states. Our setup is based on a warm vapor of rubidium atoms under the conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency with its dispersion properties modified through the use of an optically triggered N-type Kerr non-linearity. We fully characterize the performance of our device by sending in a set of input probe states and measuring the corresponding output via time-domain homodyne tomography and subsequently performing the technique of coherent state quantum process tomography. This method provides us with the precise knowledge of how our optical phase shift will modify any arbitrary input quantum state engineered in the mode of the reconstruction.

Quantum-optical process tomography using coherent states

Mirko Lobino, Saleh Rahimi-Keshari, Dmitry Korystov +7 more

We review the method for characterizing, with arbitrarily high accuracy, any quantum optical process, which our group has developed over the past few years. Our protocol recovers complete knowledge of the process by studying, via homodyne tomography, its effect on a set of coherent states, that is, classical fields produced by common laser sources. We present a simple scheme for calculating the process matrix from this information. We demonstrate the capability of our protocol by demonstrating complete characterization of an optical memory based on electromagnetically induced transparency.

This method provides us with the precise knowledge of how our optical phase shift will modify any arbitrary input quantum state engineered in the mode of the reconstruction.

Quantum Information Processing Using Electromagnetically Induced Transparency

Kouichi ICHIMURA

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is one of the simplest and most fundamental of schemes to control the quantum-mechanical properties of matter and light, such as the superposition of states, entanglement, and quantum interference, by using light, the nature of which is considerably known. EIT can be employed to realize quantum information processing in applications such as optical quantum logic gates, quantum memories, and quantum computers.

Quantum control of light using electromagnetically induced transparency

Axel André, Matthew D. Eisaman, Ronald Lee Walsworth +2 more

We present an overview of recent theoretical and experimental work on the control of the propagation and quantum properties of light using electromagnetically induced transparency in atomic ensembles. Specifically, we discuss techniques for the generation and storage of few-photon quantum-mechanical states of light as well as novel approaches to manipulate weak pulses of light via enhanced nonlinear optical processes.
