相位抖动对“光学薛定谔”猫态制备的影响

我们通过计算机模拟得到相位抖动情况下"光学薛定谔"猫态的正交分量测量集,利用极大似然估计进行量子态重构,获得"光学薛定谔"猫态的Wigner函数。研究了"光学薛定谔"猫态的保真度及Wigner函数相空间原点值W (0,0)随相位抖动的变化,发现保真度随相位抖动幅度的增大而降低,而W (0,0)值则对相位抖动不敏感。另外,我们在不同的输入态压缩纯度和压缩度下,分析了相位抖动对"光学薛定谔"猫态保真度的影响,结果表明:压缩纯度越大,相位抖动对保真度的影响越小;压缩度越大,保真度对相位抖动越敏感。

本文详细研究了一种相位型三头薛定谔猫态的一些量子统计属性,包括光子数分布、平均光子数、亚泊松分布、压缩效应以及Wigner函数等.我们发现,三头猫态的Wigner函数都可以出现负值,与二、四头猫态一样,说明它们都可以体现出非经典特性.与二头猫态不同,三头猫态在一定参数范围内可以呈现亚泊松分布,这点与四头猫态相类似,但弱于四头猫态.另外,三头猫态和四头猫态都没有压缩属性,但二头猫态具有压缩属性.     

实验制备纯的双模压缩态

从一个压缩真空态中减去一个光子是制备光学薛定谔猫态的一种有效方法。研究表明,通过这种方法制备的薛定谔猫态的保真度依赖于压缩态光场的纯度。利用一个抽运光部分共振的非简并光学参量放大器实验制备了纯度为0.993的双模压缩态。由于热效应的存在,非简并光学参量放大器在较宽的抽运功率范围内能够获得纯度较高的双模压缩态。

Analysis on generation schemes of Schrödinger cat-like states under experimental imperfections

An analysis and a comparison of two generation schemes of Schrödinger cat-like state including experimental imperfections are presented. Under practical conditions, a scheme using a squeezed vacuum and a photon subtraction will generate a cat-like state with its fidelity to the Schrödinger cat state F = 0.815 and value of its Wigner function at the origin of the phase space W(0,0) = −0.203, and then turned out to be more feasible than the scheme using squeezed single-photon state. The non-classicality of these cat-like states is governed only by non-classical photon number statistics. The criteria for ensuring W(0,0) < 0 are also presented in terms of imperfection parameter diagrams.

10-Hertz squeezed light source generation on the cesium D2 line using single photon modulation

Generation of squeezed light source is a promising technique to overcome the standard quantum limit in precision measurement. Here, we demonstrate an experimental generation of quadrature squeezing resonating on the cesium D₂ line down to 10 Hz for the first time. The maximum squeezing in audio frequency band is 5.57 dB. Moreover, we have presented a single-photon modulation locking to control the squeezing angle, while effectively suppressing the influence of laser noise on low-frequency squeezing. The whole system operates steadily for hours. The generated low-frequency squeezed light source can be applied in quantum metrology, light−matter interaction investigation and quantum memory in the audio frequency band and even below.     

Proposal for a loophole-free Bell test using homodyne detection

We propose a feasible optical setup allowing for a loophole-free Bell test with efficient homodyne detection. A non-Gaussian entangled state is generated from a two-mode squeezed vacuum by subtracting a single photon from each mode, using beam splitters and standard low-efficiency single-photon detectors. A Bell violation exceeding 1% is achievable with 6 dB squeezed light and a homodyne efficiency around 95%. A detailed feasibility analysis, based upon the recent experimental generation of single-mode non-Gaussian states, suggests that this method opens a promising avenue towards a complete experimental Bell test.     

The dependence of fidelity on the squeezing parameter in teleportation of the squeezed coherent statesvglue4pt

This paper investigates an analytical expression of teleportation fidelity in the teleportation scheme of a single mode of electromagnetic field. The fidelity between the original squeezed coherent state and the teleported one is expressed in terms of the squeezing parameter r and the quantum channel parameter (two-mode squeezed state) p. The results of analysis show that the fidelity increases with the increase of the quantum channel parameter p, while the fidelity decreases with the increase of the squeezing parameter r of the squeezed state. Thus the coherent state (r=0) is the best quantum signal for continuous variable quantum teleportation once the quantum channel is built.

基于电磁诱导透明机制的压缩光场量子存储

光场的量子存储不仅是构建量子计算机的重要基础,而且是实现量子中继和远距离量子通信的核心部分.由于存在不可避免的光学损耗,光学参量放大器产生的压缩真空态光场将变为压缩热态光场,不再是最小不确定态.因此,压缩热态光场的量子存储是实现量子互联网的关键.在原子系综中利用电磁诱导透明机制能够实现量子态在光场正交分量和原子自旋波之间的相互映射,即受控量子存储.本文根据量子存储的保真度边界,研究了实现压缩热态光场量子存储的条件.量子存储的保真度边界是通过经典手段能够达到的最大保真度,当保真度大于该边界时,就实现了量子存储.通过数值计算分析了不同情况下压缩热态光场的量子存储保真度边界,以及存储保真度随存储效率的变化关系,得到了实现量子存储的条件,为连续变量量子存储实验设计提供了直接参考.     

Dynamical Entanglement of Vibrations in Integrable Dimer and Small Molecules

By means of the reduced-density linear entropy, we investigate the properties of dynamical entanglement of vibrations in integrable dimer and realistic small molecules which are initially in the two-mode squeezed vacuum state. It is found that the entropy of the integrable dimer is periodic for weak coupling strength c₁ and small squeezing parameter r, and there exists a beat phenomenon for strong c₁ and large r. Moreover, the entropy of the small molecules is quasi-periodic for small r, and the beat phenomenon occurs in the entropy evolution of the two molecules C₂D₂ and SO₂ for large r. Our results might be used for molecular quantum computing based on vibrational states.     

High-fidelity single-photon source based on a Type II optical parametric oscillator

Using a continuous-wave Type II optical parametric oscillator below threshold, we have demonstrated a novel source of heralded single photons with high fidelity. The generated state is characterized by homodyne detection and exhibits a 79% fidelity with a single-photon Fock state (91% after correction of detection loss). The low admixture of vacuum and the well-defined spatiotemporal mode are critical requirements for their subsequent use in quantum information processing.
