All-optical Implementation of Generalized Quantum Teleportation

Measurement-based continuous-variable optical quantum computing inherently offers high-speed, large-scale operations, yet its practical performance remains constrained by the processing latencies and throughput bottlenecks imposed by classical electronic feedforward circuits. To overcome these limitations, we propose a loss-tolerant, all-optical feedforward (AOFF) architecture for generalized quantum teleportation capable of executing arbitrary linear operations. Quantitative noise analysis under realistic device parameters demonstrates that the architecture successfully suppresses hardware-induced noise floor, confirming its compatibility with fault-tolerant quantum computing requirements. By eliminating optoelectronic conversions, this scheme enables continuous high-throughput operations that drastically reduce circuit runtime. Ultimately, this approach delivers a noise-resilient platform that reconciles operational versatility with the intrinsic speed and bandwidth of optical quantum information processing.

Broadband High-Level Squeezed Light using Waveguide Optical Parametric Amplifiers with External Dispersion Compensation

We demonstrate broadband phase-sensitive amplification (PSA) measurement of squeezed light generated by a waveguide optical parametric amplifier (OPA) with external dispersion compensation. In broadband systems, group velocity dispersion (GVD) induces a frequency-dependent rotation of the squeezing axis, which limits the observable bandwidth in PSA measurements. To overcome this limitation, we introduce external dispersion compensation between two OPAs and suppress the quadrature rotation over a wide frequency range. As a result, we observe a maximum squeezing of 5.9 dB near the carrier frequency and more than 5 dB of squeezing up to a frequency offset of 4.5 THz from the carrier. Furthermore, squeezing below the shot-noise level is confirmed up to a frequency offset of 6 THz from the carrier, corresponding to the accessible phase-matching bandwidth of the waveguide OPA. Our results establish a practical method for broadband characterization of squeezed light and provide a key step toward ultrafast continuous-variable quantum information processing.

Hybridization of pulse and continuous-wave based optical quantum computation

We propose a pulse and continuous wave (CW) hybrid architecture of continuous-variable measurement-based optical quantum computation utilizing the strengths of both pulsed and CW light. In this architecture, input and ancillary non-Gaussian quantum states necessary for fault-tolerance and universality are generated with pulsed light, whereas quantum processors including continuous-variable cluster states and homodyne measurement systems are operated with CW light. This architecture is expected to enable both generation of quantum states with shorter optical wavepackets for ultrafast computation and low-loss manipulation and measurement of these states. In this study, as a proof-of-principle, an ultrafast homodyne measurement using a CW local oscillator was performed on single-photon states generated with pulsed light. The measured single-photon state's temporal width was around 70 ps and the value of the Wigner function at the origin was $W(0,0) = -0.153\pm0.003$, which is highly non-classical. This will be a core technology for high-speed optical quantum information processing.

Ultrafast all-optical quantum teleportation

Light's intrinsic carrier frequency of hundreds of terahertz theoretically enables information processing at terahertz clock rates. In optical quantum computing, continuous-variable quantum teleportation is the fundamental building block for deterministic logic operations. This protocol transfers unknown quantum states between nodes using quantum entanglement and real-time feedforward of measurement outcomes. However, electrical feedforward bottlenecks currently restrict operational bandwidths to approximately 100 megahertz, preventing the exploitation of light's ultimate speed. Here we show 1-terahertz-bandwidth all-optical quantum teleportation, completely bypassing this electronic limitation. By transferring Bell measurement outcomes optically, we successfully teleported vacuum states across the terahertz band and real-time random coherent wavepackets with a 42-picosecond temporal width. Evaluating the intrinsic state transfer quality, we achieved teleportation fidelities of $\mathcal{F}=0.784$ for the broadband vacuum states and $\mathcal{F}=0.770$ for the dynamic coherent wavepackets. Both results strictly surpass the classical limit of $\mathcal{F}=0.5$, demonstrating genuine quantum teleportation at ultrafast speeds. Our results establish that optical quantum processing speeds are constrained solely by the nonlinear medium's 1-picosecond-scale response, rather than classical electrical interfaces. This methodology provides a cornerstone for terahertz-clock quantum computers capable of overcoming Moore's law, and paves the way for a high-capacity, telecom-compatible quantum internet.

Generation of 12 dB squeezed light from a waveguide optical parametric amplifier using a machine-learning-controlled spatial light modulator

We demonstrate the generation of $12.1 \pm 0.2$ dB squeezed light from a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide optical parametric amplifier (OPA). While single-pass OPAs offer squeezed light with THz-order bandwidths, loss from spatial mode mismatch between the squeezed light and the local oscillator (LO) previously capped the squeezing level at $\sim$10 dB [K. Hirota et al., Opt. Express 34, 7958 (2026)]. In this work, we minimize this loss by introducing a machine-learning-optimized spatial light modulator (SLM) in the path of the LO. Specifically, we employed a double-reflection configuration to increase the spatial degrees of freedom, and directly used the measured squeezing level as the optimization's objective function.

Generation of 10-dB squeezed light from a broadband waveguide optical parametric amplifier with improved phase locking method

We report generation of 10.1\pm0.2-dB squeezed light from a broadband periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide optical parametric amplifier (OPA). Based on our previous report where a similar PPLN waveguide shows 8.3-dB squeezing [T. Kashiwazaki et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 122, 234003 (2023)], we reduce phase fluctuations and overall optical losses in the measurement system. In particular, we introduce a novel phase detection technique that does not require tapping a part of the squeezed light to get a phase locking signal. We use a phase-detection OPA seeded by a tapped probe and pump light before a squeezer OPA. This configuration breaks the conventional trade-off between generating a phase-locking signal with high-signal-to-noise ratio and suppressing degradation of squeezing level caused by optical tapping. With all these improvements, the phase fluctuation angle is reduced from 14 mrad to 9 mrad, and the total optical loss from 12\% to 8\%. Achieving more than 10 dB of squeezing by the broadband waveguide OPA is a significant step towards realization of fault-tolerant ultra-fast universal optical quantum computation.

All-optical measurement-device-free feedforward enabling ultra-fast quantum information processing

Optical circuit systems, unlike other systems, have the potential to perform quantum information processing (QIP) at higher clock rate than conventional processing. The approach utilizing the electromagnetic field of light allows deterministic QIP by feedforward process, which counteracts the quantum randomness by performing adaptive quantum operation according to the measurement result of an entangled state. However, conventional feedforward with electronic measurement devices has limited the clock rate of the QIP down to around 100 MHz. In this paper, we demonstrate a variable squeezing gate with a clock rate of 1.3 THz by all-optical measurement-device-free feedforward. We utilize a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide as an optical parametric amplifier, which eliminates the need for electronic measuring devices and enables ultra-fast feedforward. Experimental results demonstrate that our all-optical QIP operates at a THz clock rate, representing a major step toward a true optical quantum computer which opens the curtain to a new era of ultra-fast information processing.

Generation of multi-photon Fock states at telecommunication wavelength using picosecond pulsed light

Multi-photon Fock states have diverse applications such as optical quantum information processing. For the implementation of quantum information processing, it is desirable that Fock states be generated within the telecommunication wavelength band, particularly in the C-band (1530-1565 nm). This is because mature optical communication technologies can be leveraged for the transmission, manipulation, and detection. Additionally, to achieve high-speed quantum information processing, it is desirable for Fock states to be generated in short optical pulses, as this allows embedding lots of information in the time domain. In this paper, we report the first generation of picosecond pulsed multi-photon Fock states (single-photon and two-photon states) in the C-band with Wigner negativities, which are verified by pulsed homodyne tomography. In our experimental setup, we utilize a single-pixel superconducting nanostrip photon-number-resolving detector (SNSPD), which is expected to facilitate the high-rate generation of various quantum states. This capability stems from the high temporal resolution of SNSPDs (50 ps in our case) allowing us to increase the repetition frequency of pulsed light from the conventional MHz range to the GHz range, although in this experiment the repetition frequency is limited to 10 MHz due to the bandwidth of the homodyne detector. Consequently, our experimental setup is anticipated to serve as a prototype of a high-speed optical quantum state generator for ultrafast quantum information processing at telecommunication wavelength.

Real-time observation of picosecond-timescale optical quantum entanglement toward ultrafast quantum information processing

Entanglement is a fundamental resource of various optical quantum-information-processing (QIP) applications. Towards high-speed QIP system, entanglement should be encoded in short wavepackets. We report real-time observation of ultrafast optical Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlation at a picosecond timescale in a continuous-wave (CW) system. Optical phase-sensitive amplification using 6-THz-bandwidth waveguide-optical-parametric amplifier enhances the effective efficiency of 70-GHz-bandwidth homodyne detectors, mainly used in 5th-generation telecommunication, enabling its use in real-time quantum-state measurement. While power measurement using frequency scanning, i.e., optical spectrum analyzer, is not performed in real-time, our observation is demonstrated through real-time amplitude measurement and can be directly employed in QIP applications. Observed EPR states show quantum correlation of 4.5 dB below shotnoise level encoded in wavepackets with 40-ps period, equivalent to 25-GHz repetition -- ${10^3}$ times faster than previous entanglement observation in CW system. The quantum correlation of 4.5 dB is already sufficient for several QIP applications, and our system can be readily extended to large-scale entanglement. Moreover, our scheme has high compatibility with optical communication technology such as wavelength-division multiplexing, and femtosecond-timescale observation is also feasible. Our demonstration is paradigm shift in accelerating accessible quantum correlation, the foundational resource of all quantum applications, from the nanosecond to picosecond timescale, enabling ultra-fast optical QIP.

High-rate Generation and State Tomography of Non-Gaussian Quantum States for Ultra-fast Clock Frequency Quantum Processors

Quantum information processors greatly benefit from high clock frequency to fully harnessing the quantum advantages before they get washed out by the decoherence. In this pursuit, all-optical systems offer unique advantages due to their inherent 100 THz carrier frequency, permitting one to develop THz clock frequency processors. In practice, the bandwidth of the quantum light sources and the measurement devices has been limited to the MHz range and the generation rate of nonclassical states to kHz order -- a tiny fraction of what can be achieved. In this work, we go beyond this limitation by utilizing optical parametric amplifier (OPA) as a squeezed-light source and optical phase-sensitive amplifiers (PSA) to realize high-rate generation of broadband non-Gaussian states and their quantum tomography. Our state generation and measurement system consists of a 6-THz squeezed-light source, a 6-THz PSA, and a 66-GHz homodyne detector. With this system, we have successfully demonstrated non-Gaussian state generation at a 0.9 MHz rate -- almost three orders of magnitude higher than the current state-of-the-art experiments -- with a sub-nanosecond wave packet using continuous-wave laser. The performance is constrained only by the superconducting detector's jitter which currently limits the usable bandwidth of the squeezed light to 1 GHz, rather than the optical and electronic systems. Therefore, if we can overcome the limitation of the timing jitter of superconducting detector, non-Gaussian state generation and detection at GHz rate, or even THz rate, for optical quantum processors might be possible with OPAs.

Development of Dual-phase Xenon TPC with a Quartz Chamber for Direct Dark Matter Search

The idea of a hermetic quartz chamber in a dual-phase xenon time projection chamber (TPC) has the potential to improve the detector sensitivity for direct dark matter searches in the future. A major challenge facing TPC detectors in future dark matter experiments will be the reduction of the internal background such as $^{222}$Rn and the deterioration of the ionization signal due to electronegative impurities. The hermetic quartz chamber can isolate the TPC's sensitive volume from external interference and is thus expected to prevent contamination caused by the radioactive and electronegative impurities, which originate from outer detector materials. At the Kamioka Observatory in Japan, we developed a TPC with a quartz chamber that contains a $ϕ48 \times 58$ mm volume of liquid xenon. At this development stage, we did not aim at the perfect hermeticity of the quartz chamber. Our aim here is twofold: first, to demonstrate via the use of a calibration source that the presence of quartz materials in the TPC does not impact its operation; and second, to perform quantitative measurements of the TPC's characteristics. We successfully measured electron drift velocities of 1.2--1.7 mm/$μ$s in liquid xenon under electric fields ranging from 75--384 V/cm, and also observed small S2 signals produced by a single ionized electron with a light yield of 16.5 $\pm$ 0.5 PE. These results were consistent with the expected values; therefore, our demonstrations provide a proof of principle for TPCs incorporating a quartz chamber.

Penalized least squares approximation methods and their applications to stochastic processes

We construct an objective function that consists of a quadratic approximation term and a penalty term. Thanks to the quadratic approximation, we can deal with various kinds of loss functions into a unified way, and by taking advantage of the penalty term, we can simultaneously execute variable selection and parameter estimation. In this article, we show that our estimator has oracle properties, and even better property. We also treat an stochastic processes as applications.

Growth, Annealing Effects on Superconducting and Magnetic Properties and Anisotropy of FeSe_1-x_Te_x_ (0.5 =< x =< 1) Single Crystals

Single crystals of FeSe_1-x_Te_x_ (0.5=<x=<1) have been grown by the Bridgman method. After annealing them at 400 deg for 100 h in vacuum, single crystals of x=0.5-0.9 have exhibited bulk superconductivity. Anisotropic properties of the electrical resistivity and upper critical field, H_c2_, have been investigated for the single-crystal FeSe_1-x_Te_x_ with x=0.6. It has been found that the in-plane resistivity, Rho_ab_, shows a metallic temperature-dependence, while the out-of-plane resistivity, Rho_c_, shows a broad maximum around 100 K. The resistivity ratio, Rho_ab_/Rho_c_, is 44 and 70 at 290 K and just above the superconducting transition temperature, T_c_, respectively. The anisotropic parameter, gamma= H_c2_^para^/H_c2_^perp^ (The para and perp indicate field directions parallel and perpendicular to the ab-plane, respectively.), is estimated as 2.7 just below T_c_.
