Scalable ultrafast quantum information processors in nanophotonics

Rajveer Nehra

Optical photons are excellent quantum information carriers, but weak optical nonlinearity poses significant challenges to the scalability and computational capabilities of these systems. Currently, only probabilistic methods can achieve nonlinear quantum operations crucial for universality and fault tolerance, restricting the clock speed and making it challenging to scale due to significant resource overhead. Ultrafast quantum nanophotonics with second-order optical nonlinearity presents a potential solution to overcome these challenges. In this talk, we will discuss recent experimental advances, including the on-chip generation and measurement of ultra-broadband squeezed states, all-optical realizations of switching and nonlinear functions for ultrafast feedforward operations, and widely tunable optical parametric oscillators in an emergent thin-film lithium niobate on insulator platform. We further delve into how the enhanced optical nonlinearity can enable novel functionalities such as photon-number-resolving measurements and deterministic quantum state engineering, offering a practical path to scalable, fault-tolerant quantum information processors room-temperature.

Physical coherent Ising machines for solving combinatorial optimization problems

Yoonhyuk Rah, Kyoungsik Yu

Abstract Coherent Ising machines (CIM) have shown promising potential as hardware solvers for tackling combinatorial optimization problems, where discrete variables are encoded onto physical states to form an Ising Hamiltonian. Various platforms, starting from optical parametric oscillators, have been proposed and demonstrated to implement an actual physical CIM. In this review article, we briefly introduce the basic operation principle of CIMs and review physical schemes focusing on MEMS-based nanophotonics.

Non-Gaussianity in the quantum parametric oscillator

Marcello Calvanese Strinati, Claudio Conti

Systems of coupled optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) forming an Ising machine are emerging as large-scale simulators of the Ising model. The advances in computer science and nonlinear optics have triggered not only the physical realization of hybrid (electrooptical) or all-optical Ising machines, but also the demonstration of quantum-inspired algorithms boosting their performances. To date, the use of the quantum nature of parametrically generated light as a further resource for computation represents a major open issue. A key quantum feature is the non-Gaussian character of the system state across the oscillation threshold. In this paper, we perform an ab initio analysis of the emergence of non-Gaussianity in the single quantum OPO with an applied external field. We model the OPO by a Lindblad master equation, which is numerically solved by a first-principles method based on exact diagonalization. Non-Gaussianity is quantified by means of three different metrics: the Hilbert-Schmidt distance, quantum relative entropy, and photon distribution. Our findings reveal a nontrivial interplay between parametric drive and applied field: (i) the increasing pump monotonically enhances non-Gaussianity and (ii) the increasing field first sharpens non-Gaussianity, and then restores the Gaussian character of the state when above a threshold value. We also report a first-principles computation in the Fock space of the distance from the mixture of coherent states, a strongly nonclassical behavior that can play a significant role in the quantum parallel search for optimization.
