Abstract

We explain our approach to quantum computers based on continuous variables in quantum optics. We deterministically exploit squeezed states for creating entanglements. We successfully generated ultralarge- scale cluster states by employing the time-domain multiplexing strategy. Cluster states are entanglement resources for measurement-based universal quantum computation.

Continuous-variable quantum computation with optical quantum entanglement and quantum teleportation in time domain

Warit Asavanant, Akito Kawasaki, Ryuhoh Ide +12 more

Enabling large-scale and high-speed quantum computation is a key to practical quantum computation. Continuous-variable approach in optical systems offer advantages in scalability and speed by leveraging their temporal degree of freedom and inherent large carrier frequency. In this paper, we investigate the generation and manipulation of quantum entanglement through a time-domain multiplexing approach. By employing time-domain multiplexing, we generate a two-dimensional cluster state—a universal resource for large-scale quantum computation—and perform quantum operations in the time domain with cluster state. Additionally, our ongoing research focuses on the generation and measurement of broadband optical quantum entanglement through an optical parametric oscillator, which holds potential as a foundation for high-speed quantum computing surpassing limitations of existing systems. By further engineering the quantum entanglement, we have also theoretically formulated a practical teleportation-based architectures for quantum computation in time domain. These advancements form the groundwork for the development of practical optical quantum computation.

Generation of time-domain-multiplexed two-dimensional cluster state

Warit Asavanant, Yu Shiozawa, Shota Yokoyama +8 more

Entanglement is the key resource for measurement-based quantum computing. It is stored in quantum states known as cluster states, which are prepared offline and enable quantum computing by means of purely local measurements. Universal quantum computing requires cluster states that are both large and possess (at least) a two-dimensional topology. Continuous-variable cluster states-based on bosonic modes rather than qubits-have previously been generated on a scale exceeding one million modes, but only in one dimension. Here, we report generation of a large-scale two-dimensional continuous-variable cluster state. Its structure consists of a 5- by 1240-site square lattice that was tailored to our highly scalable time-multiplexed experimental platform. It is compatible with Bosonic error-correcting codes that, with higher squeezing, enable fault-tolerant quantum computation.

Time-Domain Multiplexed Two-Dimensional Cluster State for Large-Scale Universal Multi-Input One-Way Quantum Computation

Warit Asavanant, Hidehiro Yonezawa, Akira Furusawa +8 more

One-way quantum computation is a promising scheme for realizing large-scale quantum computation, where computation is done via measurements on a universal multi-mode entangled resource called cluster state. The capability of this method is determined by the size and the dimension of the cluster state; the size is roughly equivalent to the number of input modes times number of operation steps, while the dimension determines universality and fault tolerance of the computation. To achieve universality, two-dimensional cluster state is required. Among many approaches, time-domain multiplexing using optical system [1, 2] is a promising method where quantum state is encoded in a temporal wave packet. Although universality is still lacking, one-million-mode one-dimensional cluster state has been demonstrated with this approach [3].

Scalable optical quantum computation based on continuous-variable quantum teleportation

Warit Asavanant

Achieving scalability is one of the most pressing tasks to realize practical quantum computer. In this regard, continuous-variable optical systems have shown many promising progresses such as generation of enormous cluster states, resources for measurement-based quantum computation, using minimal resources. In this talk, I will explain the concepts of continuous-variable quantum computation with the focuses on the quantum computation based on quantum teleportation. It turns out that the quantum teleportation protocol, a basic protocol that is equivalent to the identity operation, contains many essences of the quantum computation. I will discuss the recent experimental progresses with the main focuses on the time-domain multiplexing approach and how these progresses are paving the path toward large-scale fault-tolerant universal quantum computation.

Temporal-mode continuous-variable three-dimensional cluster state for topologically protected measurement-based quantum computation

Kosuke Fukui, Warit Asavanant, Akira Furusawa

Measurement-based quantum computation with continuous variables in an optical setup shows great promise toward implementation of large-scale quantum computation, where the time-domain multiplexing approach enables us to generate the large-scale cluster state used to perform measurement-based quantum computation. To make effective use of the advantage of the time-domain multiplexing approach, in this paper, we propose the method to generate the large-scale three-dimensional cluster state which is a platform for topologically protected measurement-based quantum computation. Our method combines a time-domain multiplexing approach with a divide-and-conquer approach and has two advantages for implementing large-scale quantum computation. First, the squeezing level for verification of the entanglement of the three-dimensional cluster states is experimentally feasible. The second advantage is the robustness against analog errors derived from the finite squeezing of continuous variables during topologically protected measurement-based quantum computation. Therefore, our method is a promising approach to implement large-scale quantum computation with continuous variables.

Measurement-based quantum computation with qubit and continuous-variable systems

Rafael N. Alexander

Quantum computers offer impressive computational speed-ups over their present-day (classical) counterparts. In the measurement-based model, quantum computation is driven by single-site measurements on a large entangled quantum state known as a cluster state. This thesis explores extensions of the measurement-based model for quantum computation in qubit and continuous-variable systems. Within the qubit setting, we consider the task of characterizing how well a small-scale measurement-based quantum device can perform logic gates. We adapt a pre-existing scheme known as randomized benchmarking into the setting of measurement-based quantum computation on a one-dimensional cluster state. A key feature of randomized benchmarking is that it uses random sequences of gates. We show how the intrinsic randomness of measurement-based quantum computation can be harnessed when implementing them. Within the continuous-variable setting, we consider optical cluster states that can be generated with current technology. We propose a compact method for generating universal cluster states based on optical-parametric-oscillator technology. We consider how finite squeezing effects manifest in computation and show that pre-existing measurement-based protocols are suboptimal. We propose new measurement-based protocols that have better noise properties, compactness, and circuit flexibility. As an application, we introduce a measurement-based method for implementing interferometry. In this model, the finite squeezing noise can be dealt with as a photon-loss process. Building further on this work, we investigate the resource requirements of a measurement-based boson-sampling device, proving simultaneous efficiency in time, space, and squeezing (energy) resources. These results offer new insights into how to build, use, and characterize a measurement-based quantum computer.
