• Abstract summary: "Cat states" embody quantum coherence in an accessible way and can be harnessed for fundamental tests and quantum information tasks alike. We show that a dissipative coupling between degenerate optical parametric oscillators extends this to two-mode entangled cat states. We numerically explore the parameter regime for the successful generation of transient two-mode entangled cat states.

• Abstract: Non-Gaussian continuous variable states play a central role both in the foundations of quantum theory and for emergent quantum technologies. In particular, "cat states", i.e., two-component macroscopic quantum superpositions, embody quantum coherence in an accessible way and can be harnessed for fundamental tests and quantum information tasks alike. Degenerate optical parametric oscillators can naturally produce single-mode cat states and thus represent a promising platform for their realization and harnessing. We show that a dissipative coupling between degenerate optical parametric oscillators extends this to two-mode entangled cat states, i.e., two-mode entangled cat states are naturally produced under such dissipative coupling. While overcoming single-photon loss still represents a major challenge towards the realization of sufficiently pure single-mode cat states in degenerate optical parametric oscillators, we show that the generation of two-mode entangled cat states under such dissipative coupling can then be achieved without additional hurdles. We numerically explore the parameter regime for the successful generation of transient two-mode entangled cat states in two dissipatively coupled degenerate optical parametric oscillators. To certify the cat-state entanglement, we employ a tailored, variance-based entanglement criterion, which can robustly detect cat-state entanglement under realistic conditions.

  Cat-state qubits formed by photonic cat states have a biased noise channel, i.e., one type of error dominates over all the others. We demonstrate that such biased-noise qubits are also promising for error-tolerant simulations of the quantum Rabi model (and its varieties) by coupling a cat-state qubit to an optical cavity.

  We prepare two optical cat states simultaneously based on a nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier. By subtracting one photon from each of two squeezed vacuum states, two odd cat states with superposition direction in phase space are prepared simultaneously. Results make a step toward preparing the four-component cat state, which has potential applications in fault-tolerant quantum cavities.

  We propose two schemes for generating Wigner-negative entangled states unconditionally in mechanical resonators. We show analytically that both schemes stabilize a Wigner-negative entangled state that combines the entanglement of a two-mode squeezed vacuum with a cubic nonlinearity. We then perform extensive numerical simulations to test the robustness of Wigner-negative entanglement attained by approximate CPE states stabilized in the presence of thermal decoherence.

  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.

  In cat qubits, an engineered dissipation scheme combining two-photon drive and loss has been used to stabilize this manifold. In Kerr cat qubits, where highly-performing gates can be engineered, two-photon drive and Kerr nonlinearity cooperate to confine the system. We show that large detunings and small, but non-negligible, two-photon loss rates are fundamental to achieve optimal performance.
