By extending previous self-testing techniques we provide device-independent lower bounds on the fidelity between the generated states. This technique can find application in the certification of larger networks of different topologies.

• Abstract: Self-testing is a method of quantum state and measurement estimation that does not rely on assumptions about the inner working of the used devices. Its experimental realization has been limited to sources producing single quantum states so far. In this work, we experimentally implement two significant building blocks of a quantum network involving two independent sources, i.e. a parallel configuration in which two parties share two copies of a state, and a tripartite configuration where a central node shares two independent states with peripheral nodes. Then, by extending previous self-testing techniques we provide device-independent lower bounds on the fidelity between the generated states and an ideal state made by the tensor product of two maximally entangled two-qubit states. Given its scalability and versatility, this technique can find application in the certification of larger networks of different topologies, for quantum communication and cryptography tasks and randomness generation protocols.

• Efficient and Device-Independent Active Quantum State Certification [0.0]
  Entangled quantum states are essential ingredients for many quantum technologies, but they must be validated before they are used. Most existing approaches are based on preparing an ensemble of nominally identical and independent (IID) quantum states, and then measuring each copy of the ensemble. We experimentally implement quantum state certification (QSC), which measures only a subset of the ensemble, certifying the fidelity of the remaining states.

  Quantum networks connect and supply a large number of nodes with multi-party quantum resources for secure communication, networked quantum computing and distributed sensing. As these networks grow in size, certification tools will be required to answer questions regarding their properties. We demonstrate a general method to guarantee that certain correlations cannot be generated in a given quantum network.

We observe varying fidelity with SPDC source mean photon number, and varying entanglement generation rate with both mean photon number and memory mode number.

  Machine learning inspired variational methods provide a promising route towards scalable state characterization for quantum simulators. We benchmark and compare several such approaches by applying them to measured data from an experiment producing two-qubit entangled states. We find that in the presence of experimental imperfections and noise, confining the variational manifold to physical states greatly improves the quality of the reconstructed states.
