Abstract

We propose a novel way to generate and distribute broadband photons and thus high-dimensional frequency-path entangled states, ideal for protocols such as quantum fingerprinting. For this purpose, the HOM interference is explored.

Hong–Ou–Mandel interferometry and quantum metrology with multimode frequency-bin entangled photons

Xu Jing, Linjie Fan, Xiaodong Zheng +4 more

Quantum entanglement is a vital resource in quantum information processing. High-dimensional quantum entanglement offers advantages that classical systems cannot surpass, particularly in enhancing channel capacity, improving system noise resilience, and increasing sensitivity to external environments. The construction of multimode entanglement in the spectral domain is well-suited for fiber-optic systems. Here, we present a straightforward scheme for generating multimode frequency-bin entanglement using a semiconductor chip through a simple mode conversion. A general model for Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) interference with a multimode frequency-bin entangled state is presented and applied to the experiments. The multimode entangled photons we produced exhibit HOM interference with a high-visibility beating pattern, demonstrating a strong relationship with the mode number, mode spacing, and the profile of the single mode. Building on the Fisher information analysis, we explore the relationship between the features in multimode entangled state interference traces and the precision of interferometric measurements even in the presence of experimental nonidealities. This work may deepen the understanding of multimode frequency-bin entanglement and advance the application of multimode HOM interference in quantum sensing.

Metasurface interferometry toward quantum sensors

Philip Georgi, Marcello Massaro, Kai-Hong Luo +7 more

Optical metasurfaces open new avenues for the precise wavefront control of light for integrated quantum technology. Here, we demonstrate a hybrid integrated quantum photonic system that is capable of entangling and disentangling two-photon spin states at a dielectric metasurface. Via the interference of single-photon pairs at a nanostructured dielectric metasurface, a path-entangled two-photon NOON state with circular polarization that exhibits a quantum HOM interference visibility of 86 ± 4% is generated. Furthermore, we demonstrate nonclassicality andphase sensitivity in a metasurface-based interferometer with a fringe visibility of 86.8 ± 1.1% in the coincidence counts. This high visibility proves the metasurface-induced path entanglement inside the interferometer. Our findings provide a promising way to develop hybrid-integrated quantum technology operating in the high-dimensional mode space in various applications, such as imaging, sensing, and computing.

Asymmetric photon bunching recurring interferences and distributions via quantum frequency combs

Kai-Chi Chang, Xiang Cheng, Yujie Chen +1 more

Abstract Quantum frequency combs (QFCs) exhibit periodic temporal recurrences arising from the Fourier transform of their mode-locked frequency spectra. While QFCs have been experimentally demonstrated, asymmetric Hong–Ou–Mandel (HOM) revival interference in QFCs has not been systematically investigated, and the efficient distribution of photon-bunching revivals has remained unreported. Here, we present the first experimental observation and distribution of asymmetric HOM recurrence interference using QFCs. First, we verified HOM revivals spanning 10 time-bins in a 10.21 GHz QFC, obtaining a 72.95 ± 0.8% visibility for its central dip. Then, we measured up to 20 time-bins from a 50 GHz QFC, with an accidental-subtracted central HOM dip visibility of 70.82 ± 0.7%. Finally, we distributed the QFC after 21 km optical fibers without dispersion compensation, observing photon bunching measurements across 12 time-bins, with a central dip visibility of 70.5 ± 0.9%. The deviation from ideal HOM interference is attributed to residual frequency distinguishability between the signal and idler photons, as confirmed in our theoretical calculations. These results establish QFCs as a viable platform for advanced quantum information processing tasks, such as high-dimensional entanglement swapping and quantum communication testbeds.
