- Authors: Dominik Niemietz, Pau Farrera, Stefan Langenfeld, and Gerhard Rempe
- Abstract summary: We develop a nondestructive photonic qubit detector that heralds the photon without destroying the encoded qubit.
We achieve a nondestructive detection efficiency upon qubit survival of $(79pm3),%$, a photon survival probability of $(31pm1),%$, and preserve the qubit information with a fidelity of $(96.2pm0.3),%$.

- Abstract: One of the biggest challenges in experimental quantum information is to keep
the fragile superposition state of a qubit alive. Long lifetimes can be
achieved for material qubit carriers as memories, at least in principle, but
not for propagating photons that are rapidly lost by absorption, diffraction or
scattering. The loss problem can be mitigated with a nondestructive photonic
qubit detector that heralds the photon without destroying the encoded qubit.
Such detector is envisioned to facilitate protocols where distributed tasks
depend on the successful dissemination of photonic qubits, to improve
loss-sensitive qubit measurements, and to enable certain quantum key
distribution attacks. Here we demonstrate such a detector based on a single
atom in two crossed fibre-based optical resonators, one for qubit-insensitive
atom-photon coupling, the other for atomic-state detection. We achieve a
nondestructive detection efficiency upon qubit survival of $(79\pm3)\,\%$, a
photon survival probability of $(31\pm1)\,\%$, and preserve the qubit
information with a fidelity of $(96.2\pm0.3)\,\%$. To illustrate the potential
of our detector we show that it can provide, already with current parameters,
an advantage for long-distance entanglement and quantum-state distribution,
resource optimization via qubit amplification, and detection-loophole-free Bell
tests.

Quantum networks and distributed quantum computers rely on entanglement generation between photons and long-lived quantum memories.
Here, we maximize the efficiency for the detection of hybrid entanglement between a nuclear spin qubit in diamond with a photonic time-bin qubit.
Our results thus pave the way for the future high-performance quantum networks.

Bosonic quantum error correcting codes are primarily designed to protect against single-photon loss.
Error correction requires a recovery operation that maps the error states -- which have opposite parity -- back onto the code states.
Here, we realize a collection of photon-number-selective, simultaneous photon addition operations on a bosonic mode.

Multi-photon interference is at the heart of photonic quantum technologies.
Here, we experimentally demonstrate that detection can be implemented with a temporal resolution sufficient to interfere photons detuned on the scales necessary for cavity-based integrated photon sources.
We show how time-resolved detection of non-ideal photons can be used to improve the fidelity of an entangling operation and to mitigate the reduction of computational complexity in boson sampling experiments.

Sources of single photons that are highly indistinguishable and pure, that are either near-deterministic or heralded with high efficiency, have been elusive.

We introduce a single-photon detector design operating in the microwave domain based on a weakly nonlinear metamaterial.
We show that the single-photon detection fidelity increases with the length of the metamaterial to approach one at experimentally realistic lengths.
In stark contrast to conventional photon detectors operating in the optical domain, the photon is not destroyed by the detection and the photon wavepacket is minimally disturbed.
