Scalable multimode entanglement based on efficient squeezing of propagation eigenmodes

Continuous-variable encoding of quantum information in the optical domain has recently yielded large temporal and spectral entangled states instrumental for quantum computing and quantum communication. We introduce a protocol for the generation of spatial multipartite entanglement based on phase-matching of a propagation eigenmode in a monolithic photonic device: the array of quadratic nonlinear waveguides. We theoretically demonstrate in the spontaneous parametric downconversion regime the generation of large multipartite entangled states useful for multimode quantum networks. Our protocol is remarkably simple and robust as it does not rely on specific values of coupling, nonlinearity or length of the sample.

The driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard dimer: phase diagram and chaos

We present the phase diagram of the mean-field driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard dimer model. For a dimer with repulsive on-site interactions ($U>0$) and coherent driving we prove that $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetry breaking, via pitchfork bifurcations with sizable extensions of the asymmetric solutions, require a negative tunneling parameter ($J<0$). In addition, we show that the model exhibits deterministic dissipative chaos. The chaotic attractor emerges from a Shilnikov mechanism of a periodic orbit born in a Hopf bifurcation and, depending on its symmetry properties, it is either localized or not.

Continuous variables triple-photon states quantum entanglement

We investigate the quantum entanglement of the three modes associated with the three-photon states obtained by triple-photon generation in a phase-matched third-order nonlinear optical interaction. Although the second order processes have been extensively dealt with, there is no direct analogy between the second and third-order mechanisms. We show for example the absence of quantum entanglement between the quadratures of the three modes in the case of spontaneous parametric triple-photon generation. However, we show that genuine triple-photon entanglement is obtained in the fully seeded case, and its efficiency increases with the seeding level.
