Abstract summary: In optical quantum computing with continuous variables, non-Gaussian states are needed for universal operation and error correction. Optical non-Gaussian states are usually generated by heralding schemes using photon detectors. We extend the conventional theory of quantum state preparation using photon detectors to the finite temporal resolution regime.

Abstract: Quantum state preparation is important for quantum information processing. In particular, in optical quantum computing with continuous variables, non-Gaussian states are needed for universal operation and error correction. Optical non-Gaussian states are usually generated by heralding schemes using photon detectors. In previous experiments, the temporal resolution of the photon detectors was sufficiently high relative to the time width of the quantum state, so that the conventional theory of non-Gaussian state preparation treated the detector's temporal resolution as negligible. However, when using various photon detectors including photon-number-resolving detectors, the temporal resolution is non-negligible. In this paper, we extend the conventional theory of quantum state preparation using photon detectors to the finite temporal resolution regime, analyze the cases of single-photon and two-photon preparation as examples, and find that the generated states are characterized by the dimensionless parameter $B$, defined as the product of the temporal resolution of the detectors $\Delta t$ and the bandwidth of the light source $\Delta f$. Based on the results, $B\sim0.1$ is required to keep the purity and fidelity of the generated quantum states high.

Boosting generation rate of squeezed single-photon states by generalized photon subtraction [0.0]
Generalized photon subtraction (GPS) is a simple extension of photon subtraction (PS) We experimentally demonstrate the generation rate improvement for 2 dB- and 4 dB-squeezed single-photon states compared to PS, by more than one order of magnitude particularly for the case of 2 dB. Our results will accelerate the application of squeezed single-photon states to more advanced quantum information protocols.

Integrated Quantum Optical Phase Sensor [48.7576911714538]
We present a photonic integrated circuit fabricated in thin-film lithium niobate. We use the second-order nonlinearity to produce a squeezed state at the same frequency as the pump light and realize circuit control and sensing with electro-optics. We anticipate that on-chip photonic systems like this, which operate with low power and integrate all of the needed functionality on a single die, will open new opportunities for quantum optical sensing.

On-chip quantum information processing with distinguishable photons [55.41644538483948]
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.

We analyse the impact on performance of common sources of error for quantum emitters, such as photon spectral distinguishability and temporal mismatch. Our protocol exhibits improved loss tolerance and key rates when increasing the dimensionality beyond binary encodings.

Non-Gaussian states of an optical field are important as a proposed resource in quantum information applications. We propose a novel approach involving displacement of the ancilla field into the regime where mesoscopic detectors can be used. We conclude that states with strong Wigner negativity can be prepared at high rates by this technique under experimentally attainable conditions.

Quantum metamaterial for nondestructive microwave photon counting [52.77024349608834]
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.
