Abstract

A scheme for fiber interferometers, exploiting frequency-multiplexing in orthogonal fiber polarization modes, enables unambiguous phase retrieval. This allows for arbitrary phase tuning, providing a precise tool for time-bin qubit manipulation.

A novel method for stabilizing fiber interferometers based on frequency- and polarization-multiplexing enables unambiguous phase retrieval, long-term stability, and phase-independent performance. These capabilities allow for precise manipulation of time-bin quantum states in a low-complexity setup.

Removing Phase Ambiguity in Fiber-Based Interferometers for Coherent Time-Bin Operations

Piotr Roztocki, Mehedi Islam, Christian Reimer +6 more

Time is a practical and robust degree of freedom for the encoding of quantum information. Qubits encoded in so-called `time-bins', allowing a discrete superposition of two potential arrival times, have their entanglement preserved even over long propagation distances in standard fiber networks [1]. Time has also been used for the preparation of more complex quantum systems, such as hyper-entangled and cluster states [2]. These qualities put time-bin encoding at the center of applications ranging from quantum state preparation through to quantum communications and information processing. One of the hallmarks of the scheme is that a nonlinear element has to be pumped with phase-coherent double-pulses, which can be achieved by using unbalanced interferometers [1], making their phase stability the key determinant of both state generation and analysis accuracy. However, the phase ambiguity arising from the periodicity of feedback signals [3], as well as the difficulty of stabilizing on interference maxima/minima, leave progress to be made in fiberbased interferometry for time-bin encodings.

We introduce a technique for stabilizing and enabling continuous phase control of fiber-based time-bin entanglement interferometers. This technique reuses the pair creation pump, which coexists with and co-propagates with the entangled photons.

Practical systems for optical interference are critical to coherent signal processing in devices and networks. In article number 2000524, Roberto Morandotti, Michael Kues, and co-workers demonstrate an easily-deployable scheme for the retrieval of relative phase in fiber interferometric systems. The use of bright and dim/photon-level reference signals is contrasted, with pulsed references shown to enable temporal multiplexing with quantum signals.
