Abstract

In this paper, the problem of quantum filtering with two homodyne detection measurements for a two-level system has been considered. The quantum system is driven by two input light field channels, each of which contains a single photon. A quantum filter based on multiple measurements is designed; both the master equations and stochastic master equations are derived. In addition, numerical simulations for master equations with various pulse shape parameters are also compared.

Quantum filtering for multiple measurements driven by fields in single-photon states

Zhiyuan Dong, Guofeng Zhang, Nina H. Amini

In this paper, we derive the stochastic master equations for quantum systems driven by a single-photon input state which is contaminated by quantum vacuum noise. To improve estimation performance, quantum filters based on multiple-channel measurements are designed. Two cases, namely diffusive plus Poissonian measurements and two diffusive measurements, are considered.

Exact analysis of quantum filter for systems driven by two counter-propagating single-photon states

Zhiyuan Dong, Guofeng Zhang, Nina H. Amini

In this paper, quantum filtering for a two-level atom, which is illuminated by two counter-propagating single-photon pulses, has been considered. The scenario is equivalent to that the two-level atom is driven by two input light field channels, each of which contains a single-photon. Based on two homodyne detection measurements, filtering equations in the Schrödinger picture have been derived explicitly.

Single‐photon quantum filtering with multiple measurements

Zhiyuan Dong, Guofeng Zhang, Nina H. Amini

Summary The single‐photon quantum filtering problems have been investigated recently with applications in quantum computing. In practice, the detector responds with a quantum efficiency of less than unity since there exists some mode mismatch between the detector and the system and the single‐photon signal may be corrupted by quantum white noise. Consequently, quantum filters based on multiple measurements are designed in this paper to improve estimation performance. More specifically, the filtering equations for a 2‐level quantum system driven by a single‐photon input state and under multiple measurements are presented in this paper. Four scenarios, ie, (1) 2 diffusive measurements with Q‐P quadrature form, (2) 2 diffusive measurements with Q‐Q quadrature form, (3) diffusive plus Poissonian measurements, and (4) 2 Poissonian measurements, are considered. It is natural to compare the filtering results, ie, measuring a single channel or both channels, which one is better? By the simulation where we use a single photon to excite an atom, it seems that multiple measurements enable us to excite the atom with higher probability than only measuring a single channel. In addition, a measurement back‐action phenomenon is revealed by the simulation results.

Quantum master equation and filter for systems driven by fields in a single photon state

John E. Gough, M. R. James, Hendra I. Nurdin

The aim of this paper is to determine quantum master and filter equations for systems coupled to continuous-mode single photon fields. The system and field are described using a quantum stochastic unitary model, where the continuous-mode single photon state for the field is determined by a wavepacket pulse shape. The master equation is derived from this model and is given in terms of a system of coupled equations. The output field carries information about the system from the scattered photon, and is continuously monitored. The quantum filter is determined with the aid of an embedding of the system into a larger system, and is given by a system of coupled stochastic differential equations. An example is provided to illustrate the main results.

Quantum filtering for systems driven by fields in single-photon states or superposition of coherent states

We derive the stochastic master equations, that is to say, quantum filters, and master equations for an arbitrary quantum system probed by a continuous-mode bosonic input field in two types of nonclassical states. Specifically, we consider the cases where the state of the input field is a superposition or combination of (1) a continuous-mode, single-photon wave packet and vacuum, and (2) any continuous-mode coherent states.

Quantum Master Equation and Filter for Systems Driven by Fields in a Single Photon State

John Edward Gough, M. R. James, Hendra I. Nurdin

Abstract — The aim of this paper is to determine quantum master and filter equations for systems coupled to continuous-mode single photon fields. The system and field are de-scribed using a quantum stochastic unitary model, where the continuous-mode single photon state for the field is determined by a wavepacket pulse shape. The master equation is derived from this model and is given in terms of a system of coupled equations. The output field carries information about the system from the scattered photon, and is continuously monitored. The quantum filter is determined with the aid of an embedding of the system into a larger system, and is given by a system of coupled stochastic differential equations.
