Abstract

We describe a scheme for the encoding and manipulation of single photon qubits in optical sideband modes using standard optical elements. We propose and analyze the radio frequency half-wave plate, which may be used to make arbitrary rotations of a state in the frequency basis, and the frequency beamsplitter, which may be used to separate (or combine) photons of different frequencies into (from) different spatial modes.

Optical implementation of the encoding of two qubits to a single qutrit

Journal Article Bartuskova, Lucie; Cernoch, Antonin; Fiurasek, Jaromir; ... - Physical Review. A

We have devised an optical scheme for the recently proposed protocol for encoding two qubits into one qutrit. In this protocol, Alice encodes an arbitrary pure product state of two qubits into a state of one qutrit. Bob can then restore either of the two encoded qubit states error-free but not both of them simultaneously. We have successfully realized this scheme experimentally using spatial-mode encoding. Each qubit (qutrit) was represented by a single photon that could propagate through two (three) separate fibers. We theoretically propose two generalizations of the original protocol. We have found a probabilistic operation that enables usmore »« less

Fully Arbitrary Control of Frequency-Bin Qubits

Journal Article Lu, Hsuan-Hao; Simmerman, Emma; Lougovski, Pavel; ... - Physical Review Letters

Accurate control of two-level systems is a longstanding problem in quantum mechanics. One such quantum system is the frequency-bin qubit: a single photon existing in superposition of two discrete frequency modes. In this Letter, we demonstrate fully arbitrary control of frequency-bin qubits in a quantum frequency processor for the first time. Furthermore, we numerically establish optimal settings for multiple configurations of electro-optic phase modulators and pulse shapers, experimentally confirming near-unity mode-transformation fidelity for all fundamental rotations. Performance at the single-photon level is validated through the rotation of a single frequency-bin qubit to 41 points spread over the entire Bloch sphere,more »« less

Frequency-encoded photonic qubits for scalable quantum information processing

Journal Article Lukens, Joseph; Lougovski, Pavel - Optica

Among the objectives for large-scale quantum computation is the quantum interconnect: a device that uses photons to interface qubits that otherwise could not interact. However, the current approaches require photons indistinguishable in frequency—a major challenge for systems experiencing different local environments or of different physical compositions altogether. Here, we develop an entirely new platform that actually exploits such frequency mismatch for processing quantum information. Labeled “spectral linear optical quantum computation” (spectral LOQC), our protocol offers favorable linear scaling of optical resources and enjoys an unprecedented degree of parallelism, as an arbitrary Ν-qubit quantum gate may be performed in parallel onmore »« less

High-fidelity Z-measurement error encoding of optical qubits

Journal Article O'Brien, J; Pryde, G; White, A; ... - Physical Review. A

We demonstrate a quantum error correction scheme that protects against accidental measurement, using a parity encoding where the logical state of a single qubit is encoded into two physical qubits using a nondeterministic photonic controlled-NOT gate. For the single qubit input states vertical bar 0>, vertical bar 1>, vertical bar 0>{+-} vertical bar 1>, and vertical bar 0>{+-}i vertical bar 1> our encoder produces the appropriate two-qubit encoded state with an average fidelity of 0.88{+-}0.03 and the single qubit decoded states have an average fidelity of 0.93{+-}0.05 with the original state. We are able to decode the two-qubit state (upmore »« less

Encoding many qubits in a rotor

Journal Article Raynal, Philippe; Kalev, Amir; Suzuki, Jun; ... - Physical Review. A

We propose a scheme for encoding many qubits in a single rotor, that is, a continuous and periodic degree of freedom. A key feature of this scheme is its ability to manipulate and entangle the encoded qubits with a single operation on the system. We also show, using quantum error-correcting codes, how to protect the qubits against small errors in angular position and momentum which may affect the rotor. We then discuss the feasibility of this scheme and suggest several candidates for its implementation. The proposed scheme is immediately generalizable to qudits of any finite dimension.
