Generation and Measurement of Nonclassical States by Quantum Fock Filter

Abstract

We study a novel optical setup which is able to select a specific Fock component from a generic input state. The device allows to synthesize number states and superpositions of few number states, and to measure the photon distribution and the density matrix of a generic input signal.

Abstract. We propose a setup capable of generating Fock states of a single mode radiation field. The scheme is based on coupling the signal field to a ring cavity through cross-Kerr phase modulation, and on conditional ON-OFF photodetection at the output cavity mode. The same setup allows to prepare selected superpositions of Fock states and entangled two-mode states. Remarkably, the detector’s quantum efficiency does not affect the reliability of the state synthesis. 1

Linear optical extraction of photon-number Fock states from coherent states

Kaoru Sanaka

Photon-number Fock states play important roles in quantum optics. However, the generation of the states are very difficult because of the lack of large effective nonlinearities. In this Rapid Communication, I show a scheme to produce the Fock state from an input coherent state by using only linear optics method and projection measurements. I analyze the case of five-photon number state generation from coherent states for a specific case of the scheme. It is possible to remove the vacuum state from the output state when one introduces quantum nondemolition measurement that can also be implemented with all linear optics setup.

Optical Fock-state synthesizer

Giacomo Mauro D’Ariano, Lorenzo Maccone, Matteo G. A. Paris +1 more

We suggest a tunable optical device to synthesize Fock states and their superpositions starting from a coherent source. The scheme involves an avalanche-triggering photodetector and a ring cavity coupled to a traveling wave through a cross-Kerr medium. Low quantum efficiency at the photodetector improves the synthesizing quality at the expense of reducing the synthesizing rate.
