Contactless Continuous-Variable Quantum Optical State Conditioning With Classical MmWave Phase

Niloy Ghosh, Sarang Pendharker

This paper establishes the Heisenberg's picture framework for seamless mmWave-to-photonic data transduction. Based on this framework, contactless modulation of continuous-variable (CV) quantum optical states with digitally modulated classical mmWave beams is shown for the first time. Our analysis reveals the direct influence of mmWave phase variation on the Wigner-space evolution of modulated optical coherent and squeezed states. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that classical mmWave phase not only governs the displacement but also modulates the quadrature uncertainty of squeezed states, revealing a novel technique for embedding information onto multiple quantum-optical degrees of freedom. This work builds the theoretical and analytical foundation for wireless conditioning of quantum light without conventional on-chip metallic interconnects and complex electronic control circuitry, thereby opening a key pathway toward seamless bridging of integrated quantum photonics with emerging mmWave or THz communication technology.

Optimal amplitude quadrature control of an optical squeezer using an integral LQG approach

S. Z. Sayed Hassen, Ian R. Petersen

Squeezed states of light possess an asymmetric noise distribution whereby the uncertainty in one quadrature is less than the standard quantum noise limit. These states can be generated through a nonlinear optical process in an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). In this paper, we model such an optical squeezer and design an LQG controller which includes integral action to optimize the level of squeezing achieved in one of the quadratures of the fundamental optical field.

Attosecond Control of Squeezed Light

Russell Zimmerman, Shashank Kumar, Shiva Kant Tiwari +9 more

Squeezed light is a key resource in quantum metrology and quantum information science. It is primarily generated through nonlinear optical interactions, where the degree of squeezing is set by the nonlinearity of the medium. Here, we modulate the third-order nonlinear response of a dielectric with strong ultrafast laser fields to control squeezed light generation on attosecond time scales. By tuning a sub-cycle phase delay between the input femtosecond pulses, we switch the generated light between amplitude-squeezed and phase-squeezed states. We measure the quantum noise using a frequency-resolved balanced homodyne detection scheme that extracts field quadratures in many frequency modes simultaneously. From these measurements we obtain the complete coherency matrix containing quadrature correlations across the frequency modes of the pulse. These results enable quantum light sources with sub-cycle control of squeezing and open a route to transduction of dynamical quantum correlations in matter to quantum correlations in electric fields.
