Abstract

We demonstrate a source of highly multimode, high gain vacuum squeezed light, and demonstrate how ultra-broadband frequency conversion enables the use of visible-light detector arrays and programmable frequency-domain unitary transformations.

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.

Tunable frequency-bin multimode squeezed vacuum states of light

Christian Drago, Agata M. Brańczyk

Squeezed states are a versatile class of quantum states with applications ranging from quantum computing to high-precision detection. We propose a method for generating tunable squeezed vacuum states of light with multiple modes encoded in frequency bins. Our method uses custom-engineered spontaneous parametric down-conversion pumped by a pulse-shaped pump field. The multimode squeezed states are generated in a single pass and can be tuned in real time by adjusting the properties of the pump field. Exploring new quantum states of light, encoded in new degrees of freedom, can be a fruitful path toward discovering new quantum applications.
