Programmable temporal-mode shaping of single-photon states for advanced photonic quantm information processing |
要旨(英語) |
In recent years, research on quantum computers has progressed rapidly. Among the various platforms, optical quantum computers have attracted significant attention due to their ability to operate at room temperature, their high clock frequencies, and their compatibility with optical communication technologies. In optical quantum computing, computations are performed by manipulating quantum states generated within optical wavepackets. In particular, non-Gaussian quantum states—characterized by their strong nonclassicality—are indispensable for achieving quantum advantage.
It is well known that optimizing the temporal-mode of optical wavepackets can enhance computational performance, like enabling noise reduction, efficient quantum memory, and faster information readout. However, in conventional approaches, the temporal-mode of non-Gaussian states is fixed by the generation setup. Moreover, due to their high sensitivity to loss, direct temporal-mode shaping for these states has remained a significant challenge.
In this talk, we introduce a novel method for programmable temporal-mode shaping that we have implemented for the first time: modulating the intensity of the light used for photon detection during the generation of non-Gaussian states.
And then, we focus on the most basic non-Gaussian state—the single-photon state—and present experimental results of temporal mode shaping for it, concluding with future perspectives enabled by our programmable method. |
