Ultra-fast Continuous-wave Homodyne Measurement of Schrödlnger Cat States with 40-ps Wavepackets

Katsuki Nakashima, Tatsuki Sonoyama, Akito Kawasaki +12 more

Light has a high carrier frequency of hundreds of THz and has the potential to realize ultrafast quantum information processing. Time-domain multiplexed continuous-variable optical quantum computation has recently attracted much attention [1]. In this method, it is important to encode optical quantum states in wavepackets with short temporal widths because the width of the quantum state determines the clock frequency of the computation. So far, in the continuous-wave (CW) light field, this wavepacket width has been limited by the bandwidth of homodyne measurements, which read out the quadratures of the quantum state. Recently, a technique using phase-sensitive amplifiers (PSAs) and broadband homodyne detectors with CW light has been developed [2]. Using that, the wavepacket width of quantum entangled states was successfully shortened to the picosecond scale [3]. However, the wavepacket width of the Schrödinger cat state, which is a phase-sensitive non-Gaussian state, was limited to the sub-nanosecond scale due to the timing jitter of the photon detector [4].

Quantum-optical states, such as single-photons or quadrature-squeezed light, used for processing quantum-information easily reach optical bandwidths, however homodyne-detection - a major quantum-information tool, is sub-GHz limited. Using optical parametric-amplification we demonstrate effectively bandwidth unlimited optical-homodyne measurement.

Broadband High-Level Squeezed Light using Waveguide Optical Parametric Amplifiers with External Dispersion Compensation

Takumi Suzuki, Shotaro Oki, Kazuki Hirota +8 more

We demonstrate broadband phase-sensitive amplification (PSA) measurement of squeezed light generated by a waveguide optical parametric amplifier (OPA) with external dispersion compensation. In broadband systems, group velocity dispersion (GVD) induces a frequency-dependent rotation of the squeezing axis, which limits the observable bandwidth in PSA measurements. To overcome this limitation, we introduce external dispersion compensation between two OPAs and suppress the quadrature rotation over a wide frequency range. As a result, we observe a maximum squeezing of 5.9 dB near the carrier frequency and more than 5 dB of squeezing up to a frequency offset of 4.5 THz from the carrier. Furthermore, squeezing below the shot-noise level is confirmed up to a frequency offset of 6 THz from the carrier, corresponding to the accessible phase-matching bandwidth of the waveguide OPA. Our results establish a practical method for broadband characterization of squeezed light and provide a key step toward ultrafast continuous-variable quantum information processing.
