Generation of Flying Logical Qubits using Generalized Photon Subtraction with Adaptive Gaussian Operations
The generation of a logical qubit called the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill qubit
in an optical traveling wave is a major challenge for realizing large-scale
universal fault-tolerant optical quantum computers. Recently, probabilistic
generation of elementary GKP qubits has been demonstrated using photon number
measurements and homodyne measurements. However, the generation rate is only a
few Hz, and it will be difficult to generate fault-tolerant GKP qubits at a
practical rate unless success probability is significantly improved. Here, we
propose a method to efficiently synthesize GKP qubits from several quantum
states by adaptive Gaussian operations. In the initial state preparation that
utilizes photon number measurements, an adaptive operation allows any
measurement outcome above a certain threshold to be considered as a success.
This threshold is lowered by utilizing the generalized photon subtraction
method. The initial states are synthesized into a GKP qubit by homodyne
measurements and a subsequent adaptive operation. As a result, the single-shot
success probability of generating fault-tolerant GKP qubits in a realistic
scale system exceeds 10, which is one million times better than previous
methods. This proposal will become a powerful tool for advancing optical
quantum computers from the proof-of-principle stage to practical application.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
Single-shot single-mode optical two-parameter displacement estimation beyond classical limit
Uncertainty principle prohibits the precise measurement of both components of
displacement parameters in phase space. We have theoretically shown that this
limit can be beaten using single-photon states, in a single-shot and
single-mode setting [F. Hanamura et al., Phys. Rev. A 104, 062601 (2021)]. In
this paper, we validate this by experimentally beating the classical limit. In
optics, this is the first experiment to estimate both parameters of
displacement using non-Gaussian states. This result is related to many
important applications, such as quantum error correction.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Propagating Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill states encoded in an optical oscillator
A quantum computer with low-error, high-speed quantum operations and
capability for interconnections is required for useful quantum computations. A
logical qubit called Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) qubit in a single Bosonic
harmonic oscillator is efficient for mitigating errors in a quantum computer.
The particularly intriguing prospect of GKP qubits is that entangling gates as
well as syndrome measurements for quantum error correction only require
efficient, noise-robust linear operations. To date, however, GKP qubits have
been only demonstrated at mechanical and microwave frequency in a highly
nonlinear physical system. The physical platform that naturally provides the
scalable linear toolbox is optics, including near-ideal loss-free beam
splitters and near-unit efficiency homodyne detectors that allow to obtain the
complete analog syndrome for optimized quantum error correction. Additional
optical linear amplifiers and specifically designed GKP qubit states are then
all that is needed for universal quantum computing. In this work, we realize a
GKP state in propagating light at the telecommunication wavelength and
demonstrate homodyne meausurements on the GKP states for the first time without
any loss corrections. Our GKP states do not only show non-classicality and
non-Gaussianity at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, but unlike the
existing schemes with stationary qubits, they are realizable in a propagating
wave system. This property permits large-scale quantum computation and
interconnections, with strong compatibility to optical fibers and 5G
telecommunication technology.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figure

<p>Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) qubit in a single Bosonic harmonic oscillator is an efficient logical qubit for mitigating errors in a quantum computer. The entangling gates and syndrome measurements for quantum error correction only require noise-robust linear operations, a toolbox that is naturally available and scalable in optical system. To date, however, GKP qubits have been only demonstrated at mechanical and microwave frequency in a highly nonlinear stationary system. In this work, we realize a GKP state in propagating light at the telecommunication wavelength and demonstrate homodyne measurements on the GKP states without loss corrections.
