Abstract: We demonstrate nonlocal modulation of entangled photons with truly distributed RF clocks. Leveraging a custom radio-over-fiber (RFoF) system characterized via classical spectral interference, we validate its effectiveness for quantum networking by multiplexing the RFoF clock with one photon from a frequency-bin-entangled pair and distributing the coexisting quantum-classical signals over fiber. Phase modulation of the two photons reveals nonlocal correlations in excellent agreement with theory: in-phase modulation produces additional sidebands in the joint spectral intensity, while out-of-phase modulation is nonlocally canceled. Our simple, feedback-free design attains sub-picosecond synchronization -- namely, drift less than $\sim$0.5 ps in a 5.5 km fiber over 30 min (fractionally only $\sim$2$\times$10$^{-8}$ of the total fiber delay) -- and should facilitate frequency-encoded quantum networking protocols such as high-dimensional quantum key distribution and entanglement swapping, unlocking frequency-bin qubits for practical quantum communications in deployed metropolitan-scale networks.

Metropolitan-scale Entanglement Distribution with Co-existing Quantum and Classical Signals in a single fiber [0.0]
Development of prototype metropolitan-scale quantum networks involves transmitting quantum information via deployed optical fibers. One approach addressing these challenges is to co-propagate classical probe signals in the same fiber as the quantum signal. Here, we demonstrate the distribution of polarization entangled quantum signals co-propagating with the White Rabbit Precision Time Protocol (WR-PTP) classical signals in the same single-core fiber strand at metropolitan-scale distances.

Multi-mode squeezing is critical for enabling CV quantum networks and distributed quantum sensing. To date, multi-mode squeezing measured by homodyne detection has been limited to single-room experiments. This demonstration enables future applications in quantum networks and quantum sensing that rely on distributed multi-mode squeezing.

Time-resolved Hanbury Brown-Twiss interferometry of on-chip biphoton frequency combs using Vernier phase modulation [0.0]
Biphoton frequency combs (BFCs) are promising quantum sources for large-scale and high-dimensional quantum information and networking systems. Measurement of the temporal auto-correlation function of the unheralded signal or idler photons comprising the BFC is a key tool for characterizing their spectral purity. We propose a scheme to circumvent this challenge through electro-optic phase modulation.

Frequency combs with parity-protected cross-correlations from dynamically modulated qubit arrays [117.44028458220427]
We develop a general theoretical framework to dynamically engineer quantum correlations in the frequency-comb emission from an array of superconducting qubits in a waveguide. We demonstrate, that when the resonance of the two qubits are periodically modulated with a $pi$ phase shift, it is possible to realize simultaneous bunching and antibunching in cross-correlations of the scattered photons from different sidebands.
