Abstract: We achieved continuous-wave 8.3-dB squeezed light generation using a terahertz-order-broadband waveguide optical parametric amplifier (OPA) by improving a measurement setup from our previous work [T. Kashiwazaki, et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 119, 251104 (2021)], where a low-loss periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide had shown 6.3-dB squeezing at a 6-THz frequency. First, to improve efficiency of the squeezed light detection, we reduced effective optical loss to about 12% by removing extra optics and changing the detection method into a low-loss balanced homodyne measurement. Second, to minimize phase-locking fluctuation, we constructed a frequency-optimized phase-locking system by comprehending its frequency responses. Lastly, we found optimal experimental parameters of a measurement frequency and a pump power from their dependences for the squeezing levels. The measurement frequency was decided as 11 MHz to maximize a clearance between shot and circuit noises. Furthermore, pump power was optimized as 660 mW to get higher squeezing level while suppressing anti-squeezed-noise contamination due to an imperfection of phase locking. To our knowledge, this is the first achievement of over-8-dB squeezing by waveguide OPAs without any loss-correction and circuit-noise correction. Moreover, it is shown that the squeezing level soon after our PPLN waveguide is estimated at over 10 dB, which is thought to be mainly restricted by the waveguide loss. This broadband highly-squeezed light opens the possibility to realize fault-tolerant ultra-fast optical quantum computers.

Millimeter-wave superconducting resonators are a useful tool for studying quantum device coherence in a new frequency domain. We develop and characterize a tapered transition structure coupling a rectangular waveguide to a planar slotline waveguide with better than 0.5 dB efficiency over 14 GHz. Having decoupled the resonators from radiative losses, we consistently achieve single-photon quality factors above $105$, with a two-level-system loss limit above $106$.

Fabrication of low-loss quasi-single-mode PPLN waveguide and its application to a modularized broadband high-level squeezer [0.0]
A continuous-wave (CW) broadband high-level optical quadrature squeezer is essential for high-speed large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing. We fabricated a low-loss quasi-single-mode periodically-poled LiNbO3 waveguide, which shows 7% optical propagation loss with a waveguide length of 45 mm. Thanks to its directly bonded core on a LiTaO3 substrate, the waveguide does not show pump-induced optical loss even under a condition of hundreds of milliwatts pumping.

semiconductor integrated sources of photon pairs may operate at pump wavelengths much closer to the bandgap of the materials. We show that devices operating near the long wavelength end of the S-band or the short C-band require temporal filtering shorter than 1 ns.
