Abstract

Quantum states and gates in the 1.5-micron wavelength range can leverage the existing telecommunications infrastructure for communications-based quantum information processing. We present the latest results on characterization of a telecommunications-wavelength linear optics quantum controlled-NOT gate. Article not available.

We present the first quantum controlled-not (cnot) gate realized using a fiber-based indistinguishable photon-pair source in the 1.55 microm telecommunications band. Using this free-space cnot gate, all four Bell states are produced and fully characterized by performing quantum-state tomography, demonstrating the gate's unambiguous entangling capability and high fidelity. Telecom-band operation makes this cnot gate particularly suitable for quantum-information-processing tasks that are at the interface of quantum communication and linear optical quantum computing.

The quantum controlled-not gate is an example of the maximally entangling gate, which is a broad class of operations that are necessary for scalable linear optics quantum computation. Here, we characterize a telecommunications-wavelength (1550 nm) quantum controlled- not gate, and for the first time, experimentally bound its process fidelity by measuring its operation in two complementary polarization bases. The gate's final process fidelityFis given by 91% ¿F¿ 95%.
