Abstract

We demonstrate an experimental method to characterize the transfer function for quantum frequency conversion via Bragg scattering four-wave mixing by performing measurements in the classical regime.

We perform classical unitary conversion between three frequencies mediated by Bragg-scattering four-wave mixing with three pump fields. In the quantum regime, such a scheme can be scaled to realize N-frequency-bin W-states and boson sampling.

Two theoretical models for frequency conversion (FC) using nondegenerate four-wave mixing are compared, and their range of validity are discussed. Quantum-state-preserving FC allows for arbitrary reshaping of states for an appropriate pump selection.

We propose a scheme for phase-sensitive characterisation of coherent frequency conversion using the Green function formalism, for optimising nonlinear conversion in quantum and classical photonics experiments. We demonstrate this experimentally for Bragg-scattering four-wave mixing in photonic crystal fibre.

Quantum frequency conversion

I will review the physics of optical amplifiers and frequency convertors, and explain how to frequency convert a signal without adding excess noise, or otherwise distorting its quantum state. I also will review recent experiments briefly.
