Abstract

We apply Bayesian mean estimation to retrieve high-dimensional spectral correlations of a biphoton frequency comb. Our method is more general than previous techniques involving compressive sensing, and significantly more efficient than raster scanning.

Efficient compressive and Bayesian characterization of biphoton frequency spectra

Emma M. Simmerman, H.-H. Lu, Andrew M. Weiner +1 more

Frequency-bin qudits constitute a promising tool for quantum information processing, but their high dimensionality can make for tedious characterization measurements. Here we introduce and compare compressive sensing and Bayesian mean estimation for recovering the spectral correlations of entangled photon pairs. Using a conventional compressive sensing algorithm, we reconstruct joint spectra with up to a 26-fold reduction in measurement time compared to the equivalent raster scan. Applying a custom Bayesian model to the same data, we then additionally realize reliable and consistent quantification of uncertainty. These efficient methods of biphoton characterization should advance our ability to use the high degree of parallelism and complexity afforded by frequency-bin encoding.
