Experimental generation of a 60-mode cluster state in the quantum optical frequency comb

Abstract

A 60-mode quantum-wire continuous-variable cluster state was experimentally generated in the quantum optical frequency comb of a single optical parametric oscillator. This is the largest entangled system ever created whose subsystems are all available simultaneously.

Experimental Realization of Multipartite Entanglement of 60 Modes of a Quantum Optical Frequency Comb

Moran Chen, Nicolas C. Menicucci, Olivier Pfister

We report the experimental realization and characterization of one 60-mode copy and of two 30-mode copies of a dual-rail quantum-wire cluster state in the quantum optical frequency comb of a bimodally pumped optical parametric oscillator. This is the largest entangled system ever created whose subsystems are all available simultaneously. The entanglement proceeds from the coherent concatenation of a multitude of Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen pairs by a single beam splitter, a procedure which is also a building block for the realization of hypercubic-lattice cluster states for universal quantum computing.

Entangling the optical frequency comb: Simultaneous generation of multiple 2 × 2 and 2 × 3 continuous-variable cluster states in a single optical parametric oscillator

Hussain Zaidi, Nicolas C. Menicucci, Steven T. Flammia +3 more

We report on our research effort to generate large-scale multipartite optical-mode entanglement using as few physical resources as possible. We have previously shown that cluster-and GHZ-type N-partite continuous-variable entanglement can be obtained in an optical resonator that contains a suitably designed second-order nonlinear optical medium, pumped by at most $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (N 2) fields. In this paper, we show that the frequency comb of such a resonator can be entangled in an arbitrary number of independent 2 × 2 and 2 × 3 continuousvariable cluster states by a single optical parametric oscillator pumped by just a few optical modes.

The optical frequency comb as a one-way quantum computer

Steven T. Flammia, Nicolas C. Menicucci, Olivier Pfister

In the one-way model of quantum computing, quantum algorithms are implemented using only measurements on an entangled initial state. Much of the hard work is done upfront when creating this universal resource, known as a cluster state, on which the measurements are made. Here we detail a new proposal for a scalable method of creating cluster states using only a single multimode optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The method generates a continuous-variable cluster state that is universal for quantum computation and encoded in the quadratures of the optical frequency comb of the OPO. This work expands on the presentation in Menicucci, Flammia and Pfister (2008 Phys. Rev. Lett. 101 , 130501).

Parallel Generation of Quadripartite Cluster Entanglement in the Optical Frequency Comb

Matthew Pysher, Yoshichika Miwa, Reihaneh Shahrokhshahi +2 more

Scalability and coherence are two essential requirements for the experimental implementation of quantum information and quantum computing. Here, we report a breakthrough toward scalability: the simultaneous generation of a record 15 quadripartite entangled cluster states over 60 consecutive cavity modes (Q modes), in the optical frequency comb of a single optical parametric oscillator. The amount of observed entanglement was constant over the 60 Q modes, thereby proving the intrinsic scalability of this system. The number of observable Q modes was restricted by technical limitations, and we conservatively estimate the actual number of similar clusters to be at least 3 times larger. This result paves the way to the realization of large entangled states for scalable quantum information and quantum computing.
