Abstract

We demonstrate an on-chip single photon SWAP gate between polarization and spatial-momentum qubit. Our SWAP gate shows gate fidelity of 97.44%, and polarization entanglement preservation of SWAP operation is confirmed with average visibility over 98%.

Single-photon two-qubit SWAP gate for entanglement manipulation

Marco Fiorentino B, Taehyun Kim, Franco N. C. Wong

A SWAP operation between different types of qubits of single photons is essential for manipulating hyperentangled photons for a variety of applications. We have implemented an efficient SWAP gate for the momentum and polarization degrees of freedom of a single photon. The SWAP gate was utilized in a single-photon two-qubit quantum logic circuit to deterministically transfer momentum entanglement between a pair of down-converted photons to polarization entanglement. The polarization entanglement thus obtained violates Bell's inequality by more than 150 standard deviations.

Integrated Photonic SWAP Gates for Qudits and Qubit Registers

Max Ehrhardt, Konrad Tschernig, Matthias Heinrich +5 more

Abstract Advances in quantum information science are closely related to our ability to prepare, manipulate, and measure the states of multiple quantum bits (qubits). To this end, quantum gates are the key components by which specific operations over individual and multiple qubits are implemented. In the context of quantum optics, qubits can be encoded in any degree of freedom of a multi-photon state, e.g. polarization, frequency or spatial configuration. The faithful reciprocal exchange of information between two qubits, a so-called SWAP, is one of the fundamental operations that underpin modern quantum architectures. Here, we present a novel method realizing multiple-qubit SWAP operations over several qubits, without relying on any other gates, in an integrated-photonic setting. In principle, our approach allows for the implementation of SWAP operations with unity efficiency regardless of the number of involved qubits. Further, we discuss how this approach can be applied to qudits. Our findings provide a powerful new functional element for the design of compact quantum-photonic circuitry.

Single-Photon Two-Qubit Logic Gates

Marco Fiorentino B

We present experimental results of deterministic linear optical Controlled‐NOT and SWAP gates for single‐photon two‐qubit quantum logic. In our implementation one qubit is encoded in the polarization degree of freedom of the photon and the other is encoded in the momentum. Momentum‐ and polarization‐controlled NOT gates are demonstrated. They are then combined to form a SWAP gate to convert pairs of momentum‐entangled photons into polarization‐entangled photons.
