Abstract

The impedance matching condition is relaxed to the half impedance matching condition for perfect quantum transduction, which can be physically achieved by introducing a two-photon drive in practical optical-microwave quantum transducers.

Overcoming the fundamental limit of quantum transduction via intraband entanglement

Haowei Shi, Quntao Zhuang

We propose to noiselessly boost the efficiency of conventional quantum transducers by consuming intraband entanglement. For example, by concatenating microwave-microwave two-mode squeezing operations with the transducer, the protocol amplifies optical-to-microwave transduction efficiency without added noise.

Quantum transduction is enhanced by single mode squeezing operators

Changchun Zhong, Mingrui Xu, Aashish A. Clerk +2 more

Quantum transduction is an essential ingredient in scaling up distributed quantum architecture and is actively pursued based on various physical platforms. However, demonstrating a transducer with positive quantum capacity is still practically challenging. In this work, we discuss a new approach to relax the impedance matching condition to half impedance matching condition, which is achieved by introducing two-photon drive in the electro-optic transducer. We show the quantum transduction capacity can be enhanced and can be understood in a simple interference picture with the help of Bloch-Messiah decomposition. The parameter regimes with positive quantum capacity is identified and compared with and without the drive, indicating that the parametric drive-induced enhancement is really promising in demonstrating quantum state conversion, and is expected to boost the performance of transduction with various physical platforms.

Quantum Transduction with Adaptive Control

Mengzhen Zhang, Chang‐Ling Zou, Liang Jiang

Quantum transducers play a crucial role in hybrid quantum networks. A good quantum transducer can faithfully convert quantum signals from one mode to another with minimum decoherence. Most investigations of quantum transduction are based on the protocol of direct mode conversion. However, the direct protocol requires the matching condition, which in practice is not always feasible. Here we propose an adaptive protocol for quantum transducers, which can convert quantum signals without requiring the matching condition. The adaptive protocol only consists of Gaussian operations, feasible in various physical platforms. Moreover, we show that the adaptive protocol can be robust against imperfections associated with finite squeezing, thermal noise, and homodyne detection, and it can be implemented to realize quantum state transfer between microwave and optical modes.

Rydberg-mediated microwave-to-optical transduction with tunable bandwidth

Iason Tsiamis, David Petrosyan, Anders S. Sørensen

Coherent microwave-to-optical transduction is essential for hybrid quantum networks. Typical transducers, however, have bandwidths set by fixed device parameters and face efficiency-bandwidth tradeoffs. We propose a cavity-based microwave-to-optical transducer mediated by a collective Rydberg excitation, where external driving fields tune the conversion bandwidth in situ from narrowband, spectrally selective operation to broadband operation without modifying cavity parameters. Under impedance-matching conditions, the system operates as a continuous-wave phase-preserving linear transducer, maintaining both near-unit efficiency and quantum-limited added noise throughout the tunable bandwidth range.
