Abstract

We demonstrate deterministic two-qudit gates using the time and frequency degrees of freedom of a single photon, showing the potential of our scheme for deterministic quantum computing in high-dimensional Hilbert spaces.

High-dimensional optical quantum logic in large operational spaces

Poolad Imany, José A. Jaramillo-Villegas, Mohammed S. Alshaykh +6 more

Abstract The probabilistic nature of single-photon sources and photon–photon interactions encourages encoding as much quantum information as possible in every photon for the purpose of photonic quantum information processing. Here, by encoding high-dimensional units of information (qudits) in time and frequency degrees of freedom using on-chip sources, we report deterministic two-qudit gates in a single photon with fidelities exceeding 0.90 in the computational basis. Constructing a two-qudit modulo SUM gate, we generate and measure a single-photon state with nonseparability between time and frequency qudits. We then employ this SUM operation on two frequency-bin entangled photons—each carrying two 32-dimensional qudits—to realize a four-party high-dimensional Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state, occupying a Hilbert space equivalent to that of 20 qubits. Although high-dimensional coding alone is ultimately not scalable for universal quantum computing, our design shows the potential of deterministic optical quantum operations in large encoding spaces for practical and compact quantum information processing protocols.

We demonstrate a deterministic two-qudit SUM gate with up to 16-dimensional qudits encoded in the time and frequency degrees of freedom of a single photon. Using this SUM gate, we generate non-separable time-frequency qudit states.

Deterministic controlled-NOT gate for two-qubit single-photon quantum logic

Using linear optical elements we have demonstrated a deterministic Controlled-NOT gate for a quantum logic protocol that uses the polarization and momentum degrees of freedom of a single photon as the control and target qubits.

One-way quantum computation with four-dimensional photonic qudits

Jaewoo Joo, P. L. Knight, Jeremy L. O’Brien +1 more

We consider the possibility of performing linear optical quantum computations making use of extra photonic degrees of freedom. In particular, we focus on the case where we use photons as quadbits, four-dimensional photonic qudits. The basic 2-quadbit cluster state is a hyperentangled state across polarization and two spatial mode degrees of freedom. We examine the nondeterministic methods whereby such states can be created from single photons and/or Bell pairs and then give some mechanisms for performing higher-dimensional fusion gates.
