Abstract

The experimental implementation of large multipartite entangled state in the time and frequency domain is realised via optical frequency comb and parametric process. We discuss the implementation of quantum complex networks and their non-Gaussian features

Reconfigurable optical implementation of quantum complex networks

Network theory has played a dominant role in understanding the structure of complex systems and their dynamics. Recently, quantum complex networks, i.e. collections of quantum systems arranged in a non-regular topology, have been theoretically explored leading to significant progress in a multitude of diverse contexts including, e.g., quantum transport, open quantum systems, quantum communication, extreme violation of local realism, and quantum gravity theories. Despite important progress in several quantum platforms, the implementation of complex networks with arbitrary topology in quantum experiments is still a demanding task, especially if we require both a significant size of the network and the capability of generating arbitrary topology—from regular to any kind of non-trivial structure—in a single setup. Here we propose an all optical and reconfigurable implementation of quantum complex networks. The experimental proposal is based on optical frequency combs, parametric processes, pulse shaping and multimode measurements allowing the arbitrary control of the number of the nodes (optical modes) and topology of the links (interactions between the modes) within the network. Moreover, we also show how to simulate quantum dynamics within the network combined with the ability to address its individual nodes. To demonstrate the versatility of these features, we discuss the implementation of two recently proposed probing techniques for quantum complex networks and structured environments.

Experimental Generation of a Multipartite Entangled Graph State in the Quantum Optical Frequency Comb

Chun-Hung Chang, Xuan Zhu, Olivier Pfister

We report on experimental progress toward the generation of large-scale multipartite entanglement by phase modulation of an optical parametric oscillator. The graph state will be reconstructed from the covariance matrix built by two-mode measurements.

Quantum Frequency Combs

Claude Fabre, Nicolas Treps, Bénoît Chalopin +6 more

Frequency combs generated by Synchronously Pumped Parametric Oscillators exhibit nonclassical features such as multimode squeezing and multipartite entanglement that we have investigated experimentally and which can be used to improve time measurements beyond the shot noise limit.

Large-scale frequency- and time-domain quantum entanglement over the optical frequency comb (Conference Presentation)

Olivier Pfister

When it comes to practical quantum computing, the two main challenges are circumventing decoherence (devastating quantum errors due to interactions with the environmental bath) and achieving scalability (as many qubits as needed for a real-life, game-changing computation). We show that using, in lieu of qubits, the "qumodes" represented by the resonant fields of the quantum optical frequency comb of an optical parametric oscillator allows one to create bona fide, large scale quantum computing processors, pre-entangled in a cluster state. We detail our recent demonstration of 60-qumode entanglement (out of an estimated 3000) and present an extension to combining this frequency-tagged with time-tagged entanglement, in order to generate an arbitrarily large, universal quantum computing processor.
