Quantum state swapping in optical quantum communication using Mach-Zehnder interferometer

Abstract

Quantum state swapping is required for long-distance quantum communication. Quantum state swapping protocols are based on the quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) or similar quantum logic operations, which are very difficult to implement experimentally. Here we present a feasible scheme for the implementation of Quantum state swapping based on planar lightwave circuit (PLC) implementation of quantum CNOT gate. This quantum gate is realized by using Mach-Zehnder interferometer. By using planar lightwave circuit in implementation, the width of waveguides and the length of CNOT gate were obtained 12 micron and 2.8 cm respectively.

A novel approach to implementation of quantum entanglement purification in optical quantum communication

Shamsolah Salemian, Shahram Mohammad Nejad

Entanglement purification is essential to distill highly entangled states from less entangled ones. Existing general purification protocols are based on the quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) or similar quantum logic operations, which are very difficult to implement experimentally. Here we present a feasible scheme for the implementation of entanglement purification based on planar lightwave circuit (PLC) implementation of quantum CNOT gate. This quantum gate is realized by using interferometric electro-optic modulator. By using planar lightwave circuit in implementation, the width of waveguides and the length of CNOT gate were obtained 12 micron and 2.8 cm respectively

Quantum Hadamard Gate Implementation Using Planar Lightwave Circuit and Photonic Crystal Structures

Shamsolah Salemian, Shahram Mohammadne

Abstract: An all optical method has been proposed for quantum Hadamard gate implementation. This quantum gate was realized by using Y-junction beam splitter. Normal modes in waveguides have been used as quantum bit. This all optical gate can be used in quantum computation and communication. The proposed Hadamard gate has potential of being more compact and easily realized compared to other optical implementations. By using planar lightwave circuit in implementation, the width of Y-junction input waveguide, width of each branch, angle of bend and length of bend were obtained 1 micron, 0.75 micron, 45º and 0.75 micron, respectively. By using planar lightwave circuit in implementation, the radius of large air holes and the radius of small holes were obtained 0.2 ands 0.1 micron, respectively. The index of substrate was 1.325. Implementation based on photonic crystal structures and planar lightwave circuit technology was used in integrated optics.

Planar lightwave circuits for quantum cryptographic systems

Yoshihiro Nambu, T. Hatanaka, Kazuo Torii Nakamura

We propose a quantum cryptographic system based on a planar lightwave circuit (PLC) and report on optical interference experiments using PLC-based unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs). The interferometers exhibited high-visibility (>0.98) interference even when the polarisation in the optical fibre connecting the two MZIs was randomly modulated. The results demonstrate that a PLC-based setup is suitable for achieving a polarisation-insensitive phase-coding cryptographic system.

Quantum encoder and decoder for practical quantum key distribution using a planar lightwave circuit

Yoshihiro Nambu, K. Yoshino, Akihisa Tomita

To launch quantum key distribution (QKD) into the commercial market, it is important to develop a system that is simpler and more reliable using current technology. This report proposes quantum encoders and decoders using a passive planar lightwave circuit (PLC) that is useful for implementing optical-fiber-based QKD systems. Our encoders and decoders are based on an asymmetric Mach–Zehnder interferometer and allow us to prepare and analyze various photonic time-bin qubits reliably. The system can be stable and polarization-insensitive merely by stabilizing and controlling the device temperature. Our PLC-based devices enables us to simplify the QKD system and increase its reliability.

Quantum Computations with Transverse Modes of an Optical Field Propagating in Waveguides

Jian Bo Fu, Tang Shao-Fang

A fully optical method to perform quantum computation with transverse modes of the optical field propagating in waveguide is proposed by supplying the prescriptions for a universal set of quantum gates. The proposal for quantum computation is based on implementing a quantum bit with two normal modes of multi-mode waveguides. The proposed C-NOT gate has the potential of being more compact and easily realized than some optical implementations, since it is based on planar lightwave circuit technology and can be constructed by using Mach-Zehnder interferometer having semiconductor optical amplifiers with very large refractive nonlinearity in its arms.
