• Abstract: Probabilistic heralded Gaussification of quantum states of light is an important ingredient of protocols for distillation of continuous variable entanglement and squeezing. An elementary step of heralded Gaussification protocol consists of interference of two copies of the state at a balanced beam splitter, followed by conditioning on outcome of a suitable Gaussian quantum measurement on one output mode. When iterated, the protocol either converges to a Gaussian state, or diverges. Here we report on experimental investigation of the convergence properties of iterative heralded Gaussification. We experimentally implement two iterations of the protocol, which requires simultaneous processing of four copies of the input state. We utilize the phase-randomized coherent states as the input states, which greatly facilitates the experiment, because these states can be generated deterministically and their mean photon number can easily be tuned. We comprehensively characterize the input and partially Gaussified states by balanced homodyne detection and quantum state tomography. Our experimental results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions and they provide new insights into the convergence properties of heralded quantum Gaussification.

  We introduce the qDrift protocol, which builds random product formulas by sampling from the Hamiltonian according to the coefficients. We show that the simulation cost can be reduced while achieving the same accuracy, by considering the individual simulation cost during the sampling stage. Results are confirmed by numerical simulations performed on a lattice nuclear effective field theory.

We find that in the presence of experimental imperfections and noise, confining the variational manifold to physical states greatly improves the quality of the reconstructed states.
