Large-scale cluster quantum microcombs

Ze Wang, Kangkang Li, Yue Wang +11 more

An optical frequency comb comprises a cluster of equally spaced, phase-locked spectral lines. Replacing these classical components with correlated quantum light gives rise to cluster quantum frequency combs, providing abundant quantum resources for measurement-based quantum computation, and multi-user quantum networks. We propose and generate cluster quantum microcombs within an on-chip optical microresonator driven by multi-frequency lasers. Through resonantly enhanced four-wave mixing processes, continuous-variable cluster states with 60 qumodes are deterministically created. The graph structures can be programmed into one- and two-dimensional lattices by adjusting the configurations of the pump lines, which are confirmed inseparable based on the measured covariance matrices. Our work demonstrates the largest-scale cluster states with unprecedented raw squeezing levels from a photonic chip, offering a compact and scalable platform for computational and communicational tasks with quantum advantages.

Complex Quantum State Generation and Coherent Control Based on Integrated Frequency Combs

Piotr Roztocki, Stefania Sciara, Christian Reimer +13 more

The investigation of integrated frequency comb sources characterized by equidistant spectral modes was initially driven by considerations toward classical applications, seeking a more practical and miniaturized way to generate stable broadband sources of light. Recently, in the context of scaling the complexity of optical quantum circuits, these on-chip approaches have provided a new framework to address the challenges associated with non-classical state generation and manipulation. For example, multi-photon and high-dimensional states were to date either inaccessible, lacked scalability, or were difficult to manipulate, requiring elaborate approaches. The emerging field of quantum frequency combs studying spectral multimode sources based on the judicious excitation of (typically) third-order nonlinear optical micro-cavities has begun to address these issues. Several quantum sources based on this concept have already been demonstrated, among them are combs of correlated photons, cross-polarized photon pairs, entangled photon pairs, multi-photon states, and high-dimensional entangled states. While sources have achieved increasing complexity, so have coherent state processing operations, demonstrated in a practical manner using standard telecommunications components. Here, we review our recent work in the development of this framework, with a focus on multi-photon and high-dimensional states. The integrated frequency comb platform thus demonstrates significant potential for the development of meaningful quantum optical technologies.

Quantum correlations in integrated photonic frequency combs

Laurent Labonté, Adrien Bensemhoun, Dorian Oser +12 more

Integrated photonic platforms provide a powerful route toward scalable and stable quantum light sources. In this presentation, we explore how quantum correlations can be generated, distributed, and characterized in the frequency domain using integrated photonic frequency combs. Relying on Kerr nonlinear microresonators operated below and above threshold, we demonstrate the generation of discrete entangled photon pairs as well as bright multipartite quantum states involving many spectral modes. We show how frequency multiplexing enables both multi-user quantum communication and enhanced data rates, while remaining fully compatible with integrated photonic circuits. Beyond bipartite entanglement, we report direct signatures of genuine multipartite quantum correlations in bright frequency combs. These results highlight integrated photonics as a versatile and scalable platform for multimode quantum technologies in communication, sensing, and metrology.

Shaping the spectral correlation of bi-photon quantum frequency combs by multi-frequency excitation of an SOI integrated nonlinear resonator

Alí Angulo, Jan Heine, J. S. S. Durán Gómez +5 more

We reveal the generation of a broadband (> 1.9 THz) bi-photon quantum frequency comb (QFC) in a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) Fabry–Pérot micro-cavity and the control of its spectral correlation properties. Correlated photon pairs are generated through three spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) processes by using a co-polarized bi-chromatic coherent input with power P 1 and P 2 on adjacent resonances of the nonlinear cavity. Adjusting the spectral power ratio r = P 1 /( P 1 + P 2 ) allows control over the influence of each process leading to an enhancement of the overall photon pair generation rate (PGR) μ ( r ) by a maximal factor of μ ( r = 0.5)/ μ ( r = 0) ≈ 1.5, compared to the overall PGR provided by a single-pump configuration with the same power budget. We demonstrate that the efficiency a ND of the non-degenerate excitation SFWM process (NDP) doubles the efficiency a 1 ≈ a 2 of the degenerate excitation SFWM processes (DP), showing a good agreement with the provided model.
