Abstract

We demonstrate a time-multiplexed squeezed light source, which can programmably choose each squeezing level and direction of the output sequential squeezed-state pulses and is thus essential for large-scale quantum information processing in the time domain.

Programmable time-multiplexed squeezed light source

Hiroko Tomoda, Takato O. Yoshida, Takahiro Kashiwazaki +3 more

One of the leading approaches to large-scale quantum information processing (QIP) is the continuous-variable (CV) scheme based on time multiplexing (TM). As a fundamental building block for this approach, quantum light sources to sequentially produce time-multiplexed squeezed-light pulses are required; however, conventional CV TM experiments have used fixed light sources that can only output the squeezed pulses with the same squeezing levels and phases. We here demonstrate a programmable time-multiplexed squeezed light source that can generate sequential squeezed pulses with various squeezing levels and phases at a time interval below 100 ns. The generation pattern can be arbitrarily chosen by software without changing its hardware configuration. This is enabled by using a waveguide optical parametric amplifier and modulating its continuous pump light. Our light source will implement various large-scale CV QIP tasks.

Photonic quantum computing has been dramatically scaled up recently by the promising approach of combining the continuous-variable" and time-multiplexing" schemes. We report on our recent development of time-multiplexed programmable continuous-variable photonic quantum computing, including a programmable loop-based quantum processor for single-mode multi-step Gaussian gates and a programmable time-multiplexed squeezed light source for initial state preparation. Our works pave the way to large-scale programmable continuous-variable quantum computing.

Scalable Squeezed-Light Source for Continuous-Variable Quantum Sampling

Z. Vernon, Nicolás Quesada, M. Liscidini +4 more

Generation of ``squeezed'' light is a key technology for quantum information processing with continuous variables. In this field, continuous-variable quantum sampling is a promising candidate for near-term demonstration of quantum advantage. Despite many years of progress, though, a squeezed-light source suitable for quantum sampling has not been demonstrated. This work finally provides a blueprint for squeezed-light sources that can be used for large-scale quantum sampling applications, and thus will have an impact on advancing photonic quantum technology for practical deployment.
