Heralding entangled optical photons from a microwave quantum processor
arxiv(2023)
摘要
Exploiting the strengths of different quantum hardware components may enhance
the capabilities of emerging quantum processors. Here, we propose and analyze a
quantum architecture that leverages the non-local connectivity of optics, along
with the exquisite quantum control offered by superconducting microwave
circuits, to produce entangled optical resource states. Contrary to previous
proposals on optically distributing entanglement between superconducting
microwave processors, we use squeezing between microwaves and optics to produce
microwave-optical Bell pairs in a dual-rail encoding from a single microwave
quantum processor. Moreover, the microwave quantum processor allows us to
deterministically entangle microwave-optical Bell pairs into larger cluster
states, from which entangled optical photons can be extracted through microwave
measurements. Our scheme paves the way for small microwave quantum processors
to create heralded entangled optical resource states for optical quantum
computation, communication, and sensing using imperfect microwave-optics
transducers. We expect that improved isolation of the superconducting processor
from stray optical fields will allow the scheme to be demonstrated using
currently available hardware.
