Code-agnostic bosonic noise suppression with hybrid rotations

Physical-level noise on traveling bosonic modes remains a critical bottleneck for scalable quantum information processing. We show that for any single-mode bosonic code (qumode) corrupted by thermal or Gaussian displacement noise at loss rate $μ$ and amplification $G$, a hybrid continuous-discrete-variable (CV-DV) interferometer using a single qubit ancilla and two controlled-Fourier (CF) gates sandwiching the noise channel suppresses its effects from linear to quadratic scaling. This is achieved without active error correction or destructive measurements of the encoded state, maintaining high success probabilities $\geq 0.5$ when $μG \leq 0.5$. When supplemented with multiple ancillas, the protocol converts photon loss into coherent Fock-damping, and thermal or displacement noise into a mixture of Fock-diagonal noise. The protocol is entirely code-agnostic. For the special case of $2^K$-fold rotation-symmetric bosonic codes, it simplifies to conventional error detection and projection with $K$ ancillas. Suppression with simple gates and few ancillas demonstrates a clear hardware-efficient advantage over previously proposed ``bypass'' schemes, where quantum information transferred to the DV ancillas is readily corrupted by ancilla noise. Finally, we extend the protocol to a qutrit DV ancilla. This demonstrates resilience to both CV noise and composite DV damping noise, achieving a truly hybrid noise suppression scheme that operates effectively even on CV encodings lacking a well-defined photon-number parity syndrome.

Experimental Evidence-Based Sub-Rayleigh Source Discrimination

We propose a Bayesian evidence-based inference framework based on relative belief ratios and apply it to discriminating between one and two incoherent optical point sources using spatial-mode demultiplexing (SPADE). Unlike the Helstrom measurement, SPADE require no collective detection and its optimal for asymptotically large samples. Our method avoids ad hoc statistical constructs and relies solely on the information contained in the data, with all assumptions entering only through the likelihood model and prior beliefs. Using experimental evidence, we demonstrate the superior resolving performance of SPADE over direct imaging from a new and extensible perspective; one that naturally generalizes to multiple sources and offers a practical robust approach to analyzing quantum-enhanced superresolution.

Ballistic bosonic noise suppression with hybrid qumode-qubit rotation gates

Noise suppression is of paramount importance for reliable quantum information processing and computation. We show that for any single-mode bosonic code (qumode) corrupted by thermal~noise at rate~$η$ and mean \mbox{excitation}~$\bar{n}$, a hybrid continuous-discrete-variable~(CV-DV) interferometer using only a single qubit ancilla~(DV) and two controlled~Fourier~(CF) gates sandwiching the noise channel suppresses its effects to $\mathcal{O}(η^2)$ \emph{without} any active error correction or destructive measurements of the encoded state and with high success probabilities~$>0.5$ if~$η(1+\bar{n})<0.5$. This suppression scheme works by conditionally monitoring the photon-number parities after the interferometer. Bosonic codes with two logical states of the same photon-number parity (like-parity codes) are \emph{completely resilient} to DV amplitude- and phase-damping ancilla noise. For such codes, the interferometer simplifies to the use of a qumode rotation gate and a \emph{single} CF~gate. This presents a clear advantage of our CF-gate-based error suppression scheme over previously-proposed ``bypass'' protocols, where qubit information transferred to the DV mode is readily corrupted by damping~noise. Finally, we present a simple extension to direct communication of qumode states between two parties over a noisy channel using a preshared DV entangled state, by implementing a CF gate in the first laboratory and its inverse in the other. Such a communication protocol achieves a similar fidelity performance at the same success rate as the single-party case, but with greater resilience to the ancilla noise than DV~teleportation. Resource-efficient multi-qubit codes that depend on a few essential long-range interactions can benefit from it.

Error suppression in multicomponent cat codes with photon subtraction and teleamplification

It is known that multiphoton states can be protected from decoherence due to a passive loss channel by applying noiseless attenuation before and noiseless amplification after the channel. In this work, we propose the combined use of multiphoton subtraction on four-component cat codes and teleamplification to effectively suppress errors under detection and environmental losses. The back-action from multiphoton subtraction modifies the encoded qubit encoded on cat states by suppressing the higher photon numbers, while simultaneously ensuring that the original qubit can be recovered effectively through teleamplification followed by error correction, thus preserving its quantum information. With realistic photon subtraction and teleamplification-based scheme followed by optimal error-correcting maps, one can achieve a worst-case fidelity (over all encoded pure states) of over $93.5\%$ ($82\%$ with only noisy teleamplification) at a minimum success probability of about $3.42\%$, under a $10\%$ environmental-loss rate, $95\%$ detector efficiency and sufficiently large cat states with the coherent-state amplitudes of 2. This sets a promising standard for combating large passive losses in quantum-information tasks in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era, such as direct quantum communication or the storage of encoded qubits on the photonic platform.
