Mode-Selective Photon Subtraction via Time-to-Frequency Mapping for Multimode Entangled States

Bastien Oriot, Peter Namdar, David Fainsin +3 more

Photonics quantum networks are pivotal for quantum technologies, facilitating efficient information distribution and manipulation through quantum states of light. Continuous-variable (CV) cluster states, essential resources for Measurement-Based Quantum Computing, can be deterministically generated using squeezed states of light and mode-basis changes [1]. However, Gaussian states like squeezed states or cluster states, can be efficiently simulated with a classical computer [2]. Thus, to achieve quantum advantage, non-Gaussianity should be introduced, which can be accomplished by subtracting a photon from a squeezed state [3].

A Framework for Fully Programmable Frequency-Encoded Quantum Networks Harnessing Multioutput Quantum Pulse Gates

Patrick Folge, Michael Stefszky, Benjamin Brecht +1 more

Linear optical quantum networks, consisting of a quantum input state and a multiport interferometer, are an important building block for many quantum technological concepts, e.g., Gaussian boson sampling. Here, we propose the implementation of such networks based on frequency conversion by utilizing a so-called multioutput quantum pulse gate (MQPG). This approach allows the resource-efficient and therefore scalable implementation of frequency-bin-based, fully programmable interferometers in a single spatial and polarization mode. Quantum input states for this network can be provided by utilizing the strong frequency entanglement of a type-0 parametric down-conversion (PDC) source. Here, we develop a theoretical framework to describe linear networks based on an MQPG and PDC and utilize it to investigate the limits and scalabilty of our approach.

Tunable spectral correlations of highly multimode visible light via broadband quantum frequency conversion

Federico Presutti, Logan G. Wright, Shi-Yuan Ma +4 more

Multimode squeezed states of light are a resource for achieving quantum advantage in computing and sensing, where spatial or temporal modes have been the experimental norm. In our experiments, we generated highly frequency-multimode infrared quantum light, and show how adiabatic frequency conversion can be used to convert the quantum state to visible wavelengths, while concurrently manipulating the joint spectrum by realizing a configurable many-port frequency-domain-beamsplitter unitary transformation. We report near-unity-efficiency quantum frequency conversion over a bandwidth >45 THz, which allowed us to measure the state with an electron-multiplying CCD (EMCCD) camera-based spectrometer, at non-cryogenic temperatures. The parametric amplification and conversion of >400 frequency modes yielded an overall mean of approximately 700 visible photons per shot, and photon statistics consistent with squeezing. Our work shows how many-mode quantum states of light can be generated, manipulated, and measured with efficient use of hardware resources, motivating the use of frequency encoding in quantum optics.
