• Abstract: Conditional addition and subtraction of photons is a powerful tool for quantum engineering of continuous variable (CV) states that forms the fundamental building blocks of advanced photonic technologies. For high fidelity information processing, precise control of quantum engineering of CV states is highly demanded. We propose a scheme for measurement induced quantum engineering of even/odd superposition of coherent states (SCSs) of amplitude>2.5 and with fidelity exceeding>0.99. It includes single-mode squeezed vacuum (SMSV) state and two separate photons. The output parameters of the SCSs are tuned using initial squeezing of the SMSV states and the beam splitter (BS) parameter and depend on number of subtracted photons in two measurement channels. The introduction of two demultiplexed photons is a key element to improving the efficiency of quantum engineering of SCSs. When using two additional photons, both an increase in the fidelity of the output CV state and a gain in probability at least by an order of magnitude compared to the case without auxiliary input photons are observed.

  A major obstacle for realizing quantum gates between two individual photons is the restriction of direct interaction between photons in linear media. We present a protocol for realizing an entangling gate -- the controlled phase-flip (CPF) gate -- for two photonic qudits in arbitrary dimension. We experimentally demonstrate this protocol by realizing a four-dimensional qudit-qudit CPF gate, whose decomposition would require at least 13 two-qubit entangling gates.
