Abstract: The squeezed states of light become more and more important in the fields of quantum enhanced precision measurement and quantum information. To get this vital continuous variable quantum resource, the generation of squeezed states of light becomes a key factor. In this paper, a compact telecom fiber-based bright squeezed light (BSL) generator is demonstrated. To our knowledge, this is the first time that BSL has been reported in a fiber-based system to date. To obtain the BSL, a double-pass parametric amplifier based on surface-coated lithium niobate waveguide is employed. When the 1550 nm seed laser of the parametric amplifier is blocked, a stable 1.85 dB squeezed vacuum is obtained. With injected seed power of 80 {\mu}W, an output power of 18 {\mu}W and a squeezing value of 1.04 dB are achieved of the BSL at 1550 nm. Due to the good mode matching in the fiber and the absence of the resonant cavity, this flexible and compact BSL generator has the potential to be useful in out-of-the-laboratory quantum technologies. Moreover, the BSL has a narrow spectral width of 30 kHz, which is inherited from a narrow-linewidth single-frequency seed laser. In addition to being free from the wavelength-dependent losses, the narrowband BSL is also beneficial to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of quantum-enhanced precision measurement.

Polarization Purity and Dispersion Characteristics of Nested Antiresonant Nodeless Hollow-Core Optical Fiber at Near- and Mid-IR Wavelengths for Quantum Communications [3.9479376216271516]
Hollow core fibers possess unparalleled polarization purity with minimal birefringence in the telecom wavelength range using continuous-wave (CW) laser light. Our results show a polarization extinction ratio between -30 dB and -70 dB across the 1520 to 1620 nm range in CW operation, peaking at -60 dB at the 2-mum design wavelength. Our findings highlight the potential of these fibers in emerging applications such as quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols.

High-fidelity quantum non-demolition qubit measurement is critical to error correction and rapid qubit feedback in quantum computing.

We show that, despite the intensity of the pump, the device is quantum-efficient and capable of high-fidelity measurement limited by state transitions in the transmon.

A scalable narrow linewidth high power laser for barium ion optical qubit [0.0]
As quantum computing endeavors scale up in qubit number, the demand for higher laser power with ultra-narrow linewidth becomes imperative. This study explores the effectiveness of Thulium-doped fiber amplifiers as a viable solution for addressing optical qubit transitions in trapped barium ion qubits. We demonstrate that by performing high-fidelity gates on the qubit while introducing minimal intensity noise, TDFAs do not significantly broaden the linewidth of the seed lasers.
