Bell state generation and CNOT operation using on-demand identical photons from shape-controlled spatially ordered quantum dots

Qi Huang, Swarnabha Chattaraj, Lucas Jordao +3 more

Fault tolerant on-chip photonic quantum computation is enormously helped by (a) deterministic generation of the needed thousands to millions of photon qubits from (b) quantum emitters in designed spatially ordered arrays to enable networks for implementing many-qubit logic circuits. Scaling up photonic quantum information processing systems has, however, been prevented by the lack of such quantum emitters until the demonstration of the platform of mesa-top single quantum dots (MTSQDs) -- controlled shape, size, and volume single QD -- located in designed regular arrays. Here we demonstrate 2 qubit CNOT gate operation -- a universal gate necessary to enable quantum circuits of arbitrary complexity -- in polarization basis using photons emitted from individual MTSQDs. A Bell state fidelity of 0.825$\pm$0.010 is achieved with two photon interference (TPI) visibility of 0.947$\pm$0.0015 at 4K without Purcell enhancement. The results make a strong case for developing MTSQD arrays for utility scale optical quantum information processing platforms.

On-chip scalable highly pure and indistinguishable single-photon sources in ordered arrays: Path to quantum optical circuits

Jiefei Zhang, Swarnabha Chattaraj, Qi Huang +3 more

Realization of quantum optical circuits is at the heart of quantum photonic information processing. A long-standing obstacle, however, has been the absence of a suitable platform of single photon sources (SPSs). Such SPSs need to be in spatially ordered arrays and produce, on-demand, highly pure, and indistinguishable single photons with sufficiently uniform emission characteristics to enable controlled interference between photons from distinct sources underpinning functional quantum optical networks. We report on such a platform of SPSs based on a unique class of epitaxial quantum dots dubbed mesa-top single quantum dot. Under resonant excitation, the spatially ordered SPSs (without Purcell enhancement) show single photon purity of >99% [ g (2) (0) ~ 0.015], high two-photon Hong-Ou-Mandel interference visibilities of 0.82 ± 0.03 (at 11.5 kelvin, without cavity), and spectral nonuniformity of <3 nanometers, within established locally tunable technology. Our platform of SPSs paves the path to creating on-chip scalable quantum photonic networks for communication, computation, simulation, sensing and imaging.

Two-qubit gates using on-demand single-photons from ordered shape and size controlled large-volume superradiant quantum dots

Qi Huang, Swarnabha Chattaraj, Lucas Jordao +3 more

At scale, fault tolerant on-chip photonic quantum information processing (P-QIP) has been hindered by the lack of (1) on-demand generation of millions of indistinguishable single photons as qubits from (2) quantum emitters in designed spatially ordered arrays. The demonstrated unique shape- and size-controlled mesa-top single quantum dots (MTSQDs) positioned with nm accuracy in designed arrays and exhibiting <2 nanometer spectral nonuniformity offer a promising solution. Here we report CNOT gates with ~90% fidelity using photons from individual MTSQDs at 4 K withou t Purcell enhancement that enable generating Bell states with fidelity of 0.825 ± 0.010, both underpinned by a two-photon interference (TPI) visibility 0.945 ± 0.005 and single photon purity > 99.5%. Temperature and power dependent studies reveal these remarkable figures-of-merit to originate in single photon superradiance and weak electron-phonon coupling unique to large volume MTSQDs giving large oscillator strength ( ~ 30) thus robustness against temperature. These results show a path to utility scale P-QIP platforms utilizing MTSQD arrays.

Chip-to-Chip Quantum Photonic Controlled-not Gate Teleportation

Lan-Tian Feng, Ming Zhang, Di Liu +7 more

Quantum networks provide a novel framework for quantum information processing, significantly improving system capacity through the interconnection of modular quantum nodes. Beyond the capability to distribute quantum states, the ability to remotely control quantum gates is a pivotal step for quantum networks. Here, we implement high-fidelity quantum controlled-not (cnot) gate teleportation with high-dimensional path encoded silicon photonic integrated circuits. Based on on-chip generation of the path-entangled quantum state, cnot gate operation, and chip-to-chip quantum photonic interconnect, the cnot gate is teleported between two remote quantum nodes connected by the single-mode optical fiber. Equip with 5 m (1 km)-long interconnecting fiber, quantum gate teleportation is verified by entangling remote qubits with 95.69%±1.19% (94.07%±1.54%) average fidelity and gate tomography with 94.81%±0.81% (93.04%±1.09%) fidelity. These results advance the realization of large-scale and practical quantum networks with photonic integrated circuits.

Boson Sampling Using Fock States from On-Demand Single Photon Source Arrays: Quantum Complexity & Impact of Dephasing

Swarnabha Chattaraj, Anupam Madhukar

Boson sampling with array of on-demand single photons (discreet variable Fock states) as resource states provides distinct advantages in complexity scaling compared to single photon resource states mimicked by the states (continuous variable) generated in nonlinear photonics. Recent progress in realization of regular ordered array of mesa top single quantum dots (MTSQDs) enabling on-demand generation of many photon resource states with high single photon purity and indistinguishability [1,2] has opened the possibility of implementing chip-scale Boson sampling with single photons. An important question towards scale up of such circuits is how the dephasing and decay timescale of individual on-demand single photons affect the final probability distribution of the N-photon entangled state. In this work we report a framework that provides direct link between the physical sources of decoherence to the outcome of multiphoton correlation measurements. We explicitly incorporate the symmetrization of the N-photon states while accounting for the shape of the individual wave packets and dephasing. Using this framework, we show predictive estimates of the probability of generation of a 4-photon NOON state using an optical circuit initialized with 4 identical single photon wave packets, mimicking the emitted photons from MTSQD single photon sources reported in [2]. Specifically, we show how the probability of generating various 4-photon entangled states depend on the two-photon interference visibility which is determined by the pure dephasing timescale in relation to the radiative decay timescale. The results provide quantitative guidelines to measure 4 photon and higher number of entangled photon states generated in an optical circuit with on demand single photon sources and provide a link between physical processes such as temperature and the output state of the quantum optical circuits.
