A Flexible GKP-State-Embedded Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation Configuration Based on a Three-Dimensional Cluster State

The integration of diverse quantum resources and the exploitation of more degrees of freedom provide key operational flexibility for universal fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this work, we propose a flexible Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill-state-embedded fault-tolerant quantum computation architecture based on a three-dimensional cluster state constructed in polarization, frequency, and orbital angular momentum domains. Specifically, we design optical entanglement generators to produce three diverse entangled pairs, and subsequently construct a three-dimensional cluster state via a beam-splitter network with several time delays. Furthermore, we present a partially squeezed surface-GKP code to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computation and ultimately find the optimal choice of implementing the squeezing gate to give the best fault-tolerant performance (the fault-tolerant squeezing threshold is 11.5 dB). Our scheme is flexible, scalable, and experimentally feasible, providing versatile options for future optical fault-tolerant quantum computation architecture.

Complete characterization of beam deflection based on double weak value amplification system

The precise measurement of spatial attitude parameters is critical for applications in inertial navigation, industrial monitoring, instrument calibration, quantum metrology, etc. In this work, we theoretically investigate and experimentally realize the simultaneous measurement of the yaw and pitch angles using a Hermite-Gaussian-postselected double weak value system integrated with two sets of high-order-mode balanced homodyne detections, thereby achieving a complete characterization of the beam deflection. Signals of the yaw and pitch angles that are involved in TEM$_{10}$ and TEM$_{01}$ modes output from two dark ports of the system can be measured independently. As a result, the obtained minimum measurable yaw and pitch angles of beam deflection are 83 prad and 89 prad, respectively. Meanwhile, the corresponding displacements are 0.79 pm and 0.85 pm, respectively. This work expands the beam deflection measurement to two dimensions, which provides a new insight for future high-precision multi-parameter spatial precise detection.

Flexible manipulation of bipartite and multipartite EPR steerings

Bipartite and multipartite quantum steerings are significant resources for various quantum tasks, such as ultrasecure multi-user quantum network, one-site-trusted quantum communication, high-fidelity quantum computation, etc. A flexible steering manipulation scheme of five down-converted Hermitian Gaussian modes generated from an optical parametric oscillator by using a spatial structured pump is presented. In our scheme, not only the direction and types of the bipartite steering, but also different situations of multipartite steering, can be manipulated effectively, by adjusting the pump proportions with a spatial light modulator. In addition, stricter genuine pentapartite steering (only one site is trusted) can also be achieved by making the pump proportions as balanced as possible. Our scheme is versatile and experimentally feasible and offers new insights into the manipulation of steering, especially multipartite steering, which is valuable in many special quantum tasks.

Three-dimensional optical characterization of magnetostrictive deformation in magnomechanical systems

Magnomechanical systems with YIG spheres have been proven to be an ideal system for studying magnomechanically induced transparency, dynamical backaction, and rich nonlinear effects, such as the magnon-phonon cross-Kerr effect. Accurate characterization of the magnetostriction induced deformation displacement is important as it can be used for, e.g., estimating the magnon excitation number and the strength of the dynamical backaction. Here we propose an optical approach for detecting the magnetostrictive deformation of a YIG sphere in three dimensions (3Ds) with high precision. It is based on the deformation induced spatial high-order modes of the scattered field, postselection, and balanced homodyne detection. With feasible parameters, we show that the measurement precision of the deformation in $x$, $y$, and $z$ directions can reach the picometer level. We further reveal the advantages of our scheme using a higher-order probe beam and balanced homodyne detection by means of quantum and classical Fisher information. The real-time and high-precision measurement of the YIG sphere's deformation in 3Ds can be used to determinate specific mechanical modes, characterize the magnomechanical dynamical backaction and the 3D cooling of the mechanical vibration, and thus finds a wide range of applications in magnomechanics.

A complete continuous-variable quantum computation architecture based on the 2D spatiotemporal cluster state

Continuous-variable measurement-based quantum computation, which requires deterministically generated large-scale cluster state, is a promising candidate for practical, scalable, universal, and fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this work, based on our compact and scalable scheme of generating a two-dimensional spatiotemporal cluster state, a complete architecture including cluster state preparation, gate implementations, and error correction, is proposed. First, a scheme for generating two-dimensional large-scale continuous-variable cluster state by multiplexing both the temporal and spatial domains is proposed. Then, the corresponding gate implementations by gate teleportation are discussed and the actual gate noise from the generated cluster state is considered. After that, the quantum error correction can be further achieved by utilizing the square-lattice Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) code. Finally, a fault-tolerant quantum computation can be realized by introducing bias into the square-lattice GKP code (to protect against phase-flip errors) and concatenating a repetition code (to handle the residual bit-flip errors), with a squeezing threshold of 12.3 dB. Our work provides a possible option for a complete fault-tolerant quantum computation architecture in the future.

Precision Enhancement in Spatial Measurement by Introducing Squeezed Light into Weak Value Amplification

The precision enhancement is demonstrated in an optical spatial measurement based on weak value amplification (WVA) system and split-like detection, by injecting a TEM$_{10}$ squeezed vacuum beam. It is the first time to experimentally realize high-precision optical spatial measurement beyond the shot noise limit by using squeezing-assisted WVA. Based on the WVA technique, which can amplify the signal by increasing the number of photons that injected into the interferometer, squeezed beam injection can reduce the noise level and can further improve the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR). As a result, a SNR improvement of 2dB, i.e., 1.3 time precision enhancement, can be achieved, by using a 2dB squeezed beam injection and 2.6\% postselection probability in WVA process. Our work provides an effective method to accomplish higher precision in quantum spatial measurement, which has potential applications in gravitational wave interferometer calibration, super-resolution quantum imaging, etc.

Normal-mode splitting in the optomechanical system with an optical parametric amplifier and coherent feedback

Strong coupling in optomechanical systems is the basic condition for observing many quantum phenomena such as optomechanical squeezing and entanglement. Normal-mode splitting (NMS) is the most evident signature of strong coupling systems. Here we show the NMS in the spectra of the movable mirror and the output field in an optomechanical system can be flexibly engineered by a combination of optical parametric amplifier (OPA) and coherent feedback (CF). Moreover, the NMS could be enhanced by optimizing the parameters such as input optical power, OPA gain and phase, CF strength in terms of amplitude reflectivity of beam splitter.

Generation of the Squeezed State with an Arbitrary Complex Amplitude Distribution

The squeezed state is important in quantum metrology and quantum information. The most effective generation tool known is the optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Currently, only the squeezed states of lower-order spatial modes can be generated by an OPO. However, the squeezed states of higher-order complex spatial modes are more useful for applications such as quantum metrology, quantum imaging and quantum information. A major challenge for future applications is efficient generation. Here, we use cascaded phase-only spatial light modulators to modulate the amplitude and phase of the incident fundamental mode squeezed state. This efficiently generates a series of squeezed higher-order Hermite-Gauss modes and a squeezed arbitrary complex amplitude distributed mode. The method may yield new applications in biophotonics, quantum metrology and quantum information processing.

Compact sub-kilohertz low-frequency quantum light source based on four-wave mixing in cesium vapor

Using a nondegenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) process based on a double-Λ scheme in hot cesium vapor, we demonstrate a compact diode-laser-pumped quantum light source for the generation of quantum correlated twin beams with a maximum squeezing of 6.5 dB. The squeezing is observed at a Fourier frequency in the audio band down to 0.7 kHz which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first observation of sub-kilohertz intensity-difference squeezing in an atomic system so far. A phase-matching condition is also investigated in our system, which confirms the spatial-multi-mode characteristics of the FWM process. Our compact low-frequency squeezed light source may find applications in quantum imaging, quantum metrology, and the transfer of optical squeezing onto a matter wave.

Generating quantum correlated twin beams by four-wave mixing in hot cesium vapor

Using a nondegenerate four-wave mixing process based on a double-$Λ$ scheme in hot cesium vapor, we generate quantum correlated twin beams with a maximum intensity-difference squeezing of 6.5 dB. The substantially improved squeezing can be mainly attributed to very good frequency and phase-difference stability between the pump and probe beams in our experiment. Intensity-difference squeezing can be observed within a wide experimental parameter range, which guarantees its robust generation. Since this scheme produces multi-spatial-mode twin beams at the Cs $D_{1}$ line, it is of interest for experiments involving quantum imaging and coherent interfaces between atomic and solid-state systems.

Higher Order Mode Entanglement in a Type II Optical Parametric Oscillator

Nonclassical beams in high order spatial modes have attracted much interest but they exhibit much less squeezing and entanglement than the fundamental spatial modes, limiting their applications. We experimentally demonstrate the relation between pump modes and entanglement of first-order HG modes (HG10 entangled states) in a type II OPO and show that the maximum entanglement of high order spatial modes can be obtained by optimizing the pump spatial mode. To our knowledge, this is the first time to report this. Utilizing the optimal pump mode, the HG10 mode threshold can be reached easily without HG00 oscillation and HG10 entanglement is enhanced by 53.5% over HG00 pumping. The technique is broadly applicable to entanglement generation in high order modes.

The next detectors for gravitational wave astronomy

This paper focuses on the next detectors for gravitational wave astronomy which will be required after the current ground based detectors have completed their initial observations, and probably achieved the first direct detection of gravitational waves. The next detectors will need to have greater sensitivity, while also enabling the world array of detectors to have improved angular resolution to allow localisation of signal sources. Sect. 1 of this paper begins by reviewing proposals for the next ground based detectors, and presents an analysis of the sensitivity of an 8 km armlength detector, which is proposed as a safe and cost-effective means to attain a 4-fold improvement in sensitivity. The scientific benefits of creating a pair of such detectors in China and Australia is emphasised. Sect. 2 of this paper discusses the high performance suspension systems for test masses that will be an essential component for future detectors, while sect. 3 discusses solutions to the problem of Newtonian noise which arise from fluctuations in gravity gradient forces acting on test masses. Such gravitational perturbations cannot be shielded, and set limits to low frequency sensitivity unless measured and suppressed. Sects. 4 and 5 address critical operational technologies that will be ongoing issues in future detectors. Sect. 4 addresses the design of thermal compensation systems needed in all high optical power interferometers operating at room temperature. Parametric instability control is addressed in sect. 5. Only recently proven to occur in Advanced LIGO, parametric instability phenomenon brings both risks and opportunities for future detectors. The path to future enhancements of detectors will come from quantum measurement technologies. Sect. 6 focuses on the use of optomechanical devices for obtaining enhanced sensitivity, while sect. 7 reviews a range of quantum measurement options.

Low frequency phase signal measurement with high frequency squeezing

We calculate the utility of high-frequency squeezed-state enhanced two-frequency interferometry for low-frequency phase measurement. To use the high-frequency sidebands of the squeezed light, a two-frequency intense laser is used in the interferometry instead of a single-frequency laser as usual. We find that the readout signal can be contaminated by the high-frequency phase vibration, but this is easy to check and avoid. A proof-of-principle experiment is in the reach of modern quantum optics technology.

Application of an all-solid-state, frequency-doubled Nd:YAP laser to the generation of twin beams at 1080 nm

A laser-diode-pumped intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:YAP/KTP laser is presented. Over 110 mw of TEM00 single-frequency output power at 540-nm wavelength was obtained. The output green laser was employed to pump a semimonolithic nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator to produce intensity quantum correlated twin beams at 1080 nm, and the maximum quantum noise squeezing of 74 %(5.9 dB) on the intensity difference fluctuation between the twin beams is observed. The threshold was reduced and the stability was increased significantly when compared with similar lamp-pumped systems.

Experimental Demonstration of Unconditional Entanglement Swapping for Continuous Variables

The unconditional entanglement swapping for continuous variables is experimentally demonstrated. Two initial entangled states are produced from two nondegenerate optical parametric amplifiers operating at deamplification. Through implementing the direct measurement of Bell-state between two optical beams from each amplifier the remaining two optical beams, which have never directly interacted with each other, are entangled. The quantum correlation degrees of 1.23dB and 1.12dB below the shot noise limit for the amplitude and phase quadratures resulting from the entanglement swapping are straightly measured.

Entanglement characteristics of subharmonic modes reflected from cavity for type II second harmonic generation

Quantum fluctuation and quantum entanglement of the pump field reflected from an optical cavity for type II second harmonic generation are theoretically analyzed. The correlation spectra between the quadratures of the reflected subharmonic fields are interpreted in terms of pump parameter, intracavity losses and normalized frequency. Large correlation degrees of both amplitude and phase quadratures can be accessed in a triple resonant cavity before the pitchfork bifurcation occurs. The two reflected subharmonic fields are in an entangled state with the quantum correlation of phase quadratures and anticorrelation of amplitude quadratures. The proposed system can be exploited to be a new source generating entangled states of continuous variables.
