Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics

A quantum knitting machine generating on demand cluster states of entangled photons

Published Jan 1, 2018• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

Repeated timed excitations of a quantum dot confined electronic spin is used to entangle the polarization of the emitted photons with that of the precessing spin and thereby also with the polarizations of the previously emitted photons.

We demonstrate gigahertz rate, deterministic generation of long strings of polarization-enetangled photons and photonic cluster states. We use repeated timed excitation of a semiconductor quantum dot-confined dark exciton, which entangles the sequentially emitted photons.

Continuous and deterministic all-photonic cluster state of indistinguishable photons

Zu-En Su, Boaz Taitler, Ido Schwartz +5 more

Cluster states are key resources for measurement-based quantum information processing. Photonic cluster and graph states, in particular, play indispensable roles in quantum network and quantum metrology. We demonstrate a semiconductor quantum dot based device in which the confined hole spin acts as a needle in a quantum knitting machine producing continuously and deterministically at sub-Gigahertz repetition rate single indistinguishable photons which are all polarization entangled to each other and to the spin in a one dimensional cluster state. By projecting two nonadjacent photons onto circular polarization bases we disentangle the spin from the photons emitted in between. This way we demonstrate a novel way for producing deterministic and continuous all-photonic cluster states. We use polarization tomography on four sequentially detected photons to demonstrate and to directly quantify the robustness of the cluster's entanglement and the determinism in its photon generation.

Quantum Tomography of Entangled Spin-Multiphoton States

Dan Cogan, Giora Peniakov, Oded Kenneth +2 more

We present a method for quantum tomography of multiqubit states. We apply the method to spin-multiphoton states, which we generate using a quantum dot based device. Periodic excitation of a quantum dot confined spin deterministically generates strings of entangled photons in a cluster state, threefold faster than previously demonstrated. Our tomography method uses time-resolved polarization-sensitive multiphoton correlation measurements to measure both the polarization of the confined spin and that of the emitted photons. We develop an edge-sensitive gradient-descent algorithm and apply it to the acquired data to map the periodic physical process that generates the cluster state. We utilize our tomographic method to optimize our quantum dot based device and show that the enhanced generation rate increases the entanglement robustness of the generated multiqubit state.
