Quantum information processing with photon temporal modes

Christine Silberhorn

Published Jan 1, 2016• 0 citations

Abstract

We present quantum information coding based on temporal modes of pulsed quantum light with different spectral-temporal shapes. These span a high-dimensional Hilbert space and are ideally suited for efficient quantum information coding in networks.

Quantum pulse gate based on ultrafast frequency upconversion

Benjamin Brechty, A. Eckstein, Christine Silberhorn

Quantum information applications call for information encoding schemes which offer high bitrates and the possibility to encode many qubits onto one carrier. Ultrafast pulsed quantum states of light feature an inherent rich spectral and temporal broadband mode structure, which is uniquely defined by their generation process. In ultrafast parametric downconversion for instance, the pair photons are usually generated in superposition states of many orthogonal broadband modes. Thus, they carry the potential for high dimensional quantum information encoding and high bitrates. However, even though the pulsed mode structure of quantum light is well known (see e.g. [1]), feasible ways of exploiting this natural resource in practical systems have not yet been explored.

We demonstrate a multi-output quantum pulse gate that sorts temporal modes (or their superpositions) at telecommunication wavelengths into separate output channels. This device will prove beneficial for high-dimensional quantum information processing in the time-frequency domain.
