Bosonic Interference in a Three-Level System

Published Jan 1, 2023• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

We demonstrate two-photon interference of three frequency modes via three-pump Bragg-scattering four-wave mixing in analogy to a three-level system. Correlated photon input pairs display distinct behavior from that of coherent-state input fields.

Photonic Interference Beyond Two Modes

We propose multipartite Bragg-scattering to perform all-to-all transformation among N frequency modes, realizing a bosonic N-level system. We demonstrate the N = 3 case illustrating a pathway towards scalability for frequency-domain optical quantum information systems.

Intensity effects in resonant four-wave mixing

F. A. M. de Oliveira, Cid Bartolomeu de Araujo, J. R. Rios Leite

Resonant four-wave mixing in coupled three-level systems is theoretically studied including high pump-field intensities. A new destructive interference between two contributions to the optical coherent response of the atomic system, leading to total signal cancellation at the onset of the Rabi regime, is predicted.

Two photons having different colors can exhibit the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference effect if the usual beam splitter is replaced by Bragg scattering via four-wave mixing in an optical fiber, which acts as a frequency shifter.

N -way parametric frequency beamsplitter for quantum photonics

Richard C. Oliver, Miri Blau, Chaitali Joshi +5 more

Optical networks are the leading platform for the transfer of information due to their low loss and ability to scale to many information channels using optical frequency modes. To fully leverage the quantum properties of light in this platform, it is desired to manipulate higher-dimensional superpositions by orchestrating linear, beamsplitter-type interactions between several channels simultaneously. We propose a method of achieving simultaneous, all-to-all coupling between N optical frequency modes via N -way Bragg-scattering four-wave mixing. By exploiting the frequency degree of freedom, additional modes can be multiplexed in an interaction medium of fixed volume and loss while avoiding the introduction of excess noise. We generalize the theory of the frequency-encoded two-mode interaction to N modes under this four-wave-mixing approach, finding that arbitrary unitary transformations are possible through successive four-wave-mixing pump configurations. We experimentally verify the quantum nature of this scheme by demonstrating three-way multiphoton interference. Two input photons are shared among three frequency modes and display interference differing from that of two classical (coherent-state) inputs. These results show the potential of our approach for the scalability of photonic quantum information processing to general N -mode systems in the frequency domain.
