Transfer of arbitrary two-qubit states via a spin chain
2015
We investigate the fidelity of the quantum state transfer (QST) of two qubits by means of an arbitrary spin-1/2 network, on a lattice of any dimensionality. Under the assumptions that the network Hamiltonian preserves the magnetization and that a fully polarized initial state is taken for the lattice, we obtain a general formula for the average fidelity of the two qubits QST, linking it to the one- and two-particle transfer amplitudes of the spin-excitations among the sites of the lattice. We then apply this formalism to a 1D spin chain with XX-Heisenberg type nearest-neighbour interactions adopting a protocol that is a generalization of the single qubit one proposed in Ref. [Phys. Rev. A 8…
On-chip quantum frequency combs for complex photon state generation (Conference Presentation)
2020
A key challenge in today’s quantum science is the realization of large-scale complex non-classical systems to enable e.g. ultra-secure communications, quantum-enhanced measurements, and computations faster than classical approaches. Optical frequency combs represent a powerful approach towards this, since they provide a very high number of temporal and frequency modes which can result in large-scale quantum systems. Here, we discuss the recent progress on the realization of integrated quantum frequency combs and reveal how their use in combination with on-chip and fiber-optic telecommunications components can enable quantum state control with new functionalities, yielding unprecedented capa…
