Abstract

We present the first controlled-NOT gate realized using a fiber-based indistinguishable photon-pair source in the 1.55 µm telecom band. Such operation makes this gate particularly attractive for distributed quantum information processing.

Demonstration of a Quantum Controlled-NOT Gate in the Telecommunications Band

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.

Fiber based entangled photon-pair source

Xiaoying Li, Jun Chen, Kim Fook Lee +3 more

We present a fiber based source of entangled photon-pairs in the 1550 nm telecom band that can be integrated into the existing fiber network and is well suited for quantum information processing. With this source we have demonstrated the generation, storage, and long-distance distribution of polarization entanglement in standard optical fiber. We have also investigated the origin of the large number of accidental coincidences in the experiments, which has been proved to be Raman scattering, and discussed how to suppress the Raman scattering to improve the quality of the fiber source.

Chip-to-Chip Quantum Photonic Controlled-not Gate Teleportation

Lan-Tian Feng, Ming Zhang, Di Liu +7 more

Quantum networks provide a novel framework for quantum information processing, significantly improving system capacity through the interconnection of modular quantum nodes. Beyond the capability to distribute quantum states, the ability to remotely control quantum gates is a pivotal step for quantum networks. Here, we implement high-fidelity quantum controlled-not (cnot) gate teleportation with high-dimensional path encoded silicon photonic integrated circuits. Based on on-chip generation of the path-entangled quantum state, cnot gate operation, and chip-to-chip quantum photonic interconnect, the cnot gate is teleported between two remote quantum nodes connected by the single-mode optical fiber. Equip with 5 m (1 km)-long interconnecting fiber, quantum gate teleportation is verified by entangling remote qubits with 95.69%±1.19% (94.07%±1.54%) average fidelity and gate tomography with 94.81%±0.81% (93.04%±1.09%) fidelity. These results advance the realization of large-scale and practical quantum networks with photonic integrated circuits.
