• Title: Deterministic preparation of optical squeezed cat and Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill states
• Abstract summary: Large-amplitude squeezed cat and high-quality Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states are powerful resources for quantum error correction. We present scalable schemes in optics for the deterministic preparation of large-amplitude squeezed cat states. These states can be bred to prepare high-quality approximate GKP states, showing that GKP error correction in optics is technically feasible in near-term experiments.

• Abstract: Large-amplitude squeezed cat and high-quality Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states are powerful resources for quantum error correction. However, previous schemes in optics are limited to low success probabilities, small amplitudes, and low squeezing. We overcome these limitations and present scalable schemes in optics for the deterministic preparation of large-amplitude squeezed cat states using only Gaussian operations and photon-number measurements. These states can be bred to prepare high-quality approximate GKP states, showing that GKP error correction in optics is technically feasible in near-term experiments.

• Optical Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill Qubit Generation via Approximate Squeezed Schrödinger Cat State Breeding [0.0]
  Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) qubits, known for their exceptional error-correction capabilities, are highly coveted in quantum computing. Measurement based methods, where a portion of entangled squeezed vacuum modes are measured with photon number resolving detectors heralding a desired state in the undetected modes, have emerged as leading candidates for optical GKP qubit generation due their minimal resource requirements. Our method, breeding approximate squeezed Schr"odinger cat states created by generalized photon subtraction, overcomes this problem by supplementing two photon number resolving measurements with a single high success probability homodyne measurement
