Large-scale cluster quantum microcombs

Ze Wang, Kangkang Li, Yue Wang +11 more

An optical frequency comb comprises a cluster of equally spaced, phase-locked spectral lines. Replacing these classical components with correlated quantum light gives rise to cluster quantum frequency combs, providing abundant quantum resources for measurement-based quantum computation, and multi-user quantum networks. We propose and generate cluster quantum microcombs within an on-chip optical microresonator driven by multi-frequency lasers. Through resonantly enhanced four-wave mixing processes, continuous-variable cluster states with 60 qumodes are deterministically created. The graph structures can be programmed into one- and two-dimensional lattices by adjusting the configurations of the pump lines, which are confirmed inseparable based on the measured covariance matrices. Our work demonstrates the largest-scale cluster states with unprecedented raw squeezing levels from a photonic chip, offering a compact and scalable platform for computational and communicational tasks with quantum advantages.

Robustness of an AKLT State on a Honeycomb Lattice.

Philip Allen Mar

Cluster states used in measurement based quantum computation do not exist as nondegenerate ground states of two-body Hamiltonians, making them difficult to realize physically [8]. Using Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) states on a honeycomb lattice, a universal resource can be obtained for performing MBQC, by transforming these states into cluster states via two transformations. The first transformation turns the AKLT states into a graph state by using a three-element positive operator value measures and analyzing the effects of these operators in yielded encoded qubits on groups of vertices (domains). The graph state is then transformed to a cluster state as described in [8]. The transformation to a cluster state requires that the graph state contain a connected path from the left side of the original lattice to the right side. Since POVMs are measurements, they may sometimes, in a physical implementation of MBQC, contain errors. Instead of a three- element POVM, we might have a nine-element POVM, with various effects on the groups of vertices they are applied to. This can cause entire groups of vertices to be rendered useless for quantum computation, in particular, they may prevent the existence of a connected path, so that the graph state cannot be transformed to a cluster state. We must make sure the AKLT state is robust, that is, even with certain errors in the POVM, it still can be transformed to a cluster state. We ran simulations to con rm that for certain errors in the POVM (dependent on a parameter pdelete), there always exists a connected path. The main result in this study was the formulation of an algorithm that helped drastically reduce the time to run these simulations. Since the AKLT states are large entangled systems, it is time consuming to produce `typical lattices, but the introduction of this algorithm should help in running further simulations for other POVM outcomes in the future.

Graph State Generation Based on Quantum Photonic Devices, Enabling Measurement-Based Quantum Computing

Masoud Hakimi Heris

Photonic cluster states are fundamental resource for measurement-based quantum computing (MBQC), which is a promising approach for scalable quantum computing. These highly entangled states enable computation with applying local measurements rather than gate operations, which makes them essential for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Generation of the photonic cluster states requires high-quality entanglement and stability, which can be done by making use of cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED), which is embedding quantum dots (QDs) into photonic microcavities. This method enables controlled single-photon emission and the entanglement of them, helping with key challenges in generating photonic cluster states. Enhancing the generation of the photonic cluster state requires improvement in the quality factor (Q-factor) and therefore, cooperativity of cavity and QD systems. A high Q-factor helps with reduction in photon loss and decoherence, ensuring more stable and high-fidelity quantum states. It also enables better light-matter interactions, improving cluster state quality. Cooperativity, which is a measure for the light-matter coupling strength relative to dissipation, directly impacts photon emission efficiency. Optimization of these parameters improves entanglement generation, which is essential for producing high-quality photonic cluster states. Therefore, optimized cavities are essential for improving the generation of the photonic cluster states. Scalability is also an important parameter for the generation of the large-scale cluster states used in quantum computing. In this paper, after reviewing MBQC, cluster states, and the generation of the photonic cluster states, we investigate the deterministic generation of the photonic cluster state resource for the purpose of MBQC, and highlights the importance of the inverse design techniques for this goal.
