摘要:

在量子计算的一个新分支中,信息被编码成相干态,这是光通信的主要载体。为了利用它,需要这些相干态的量子比特,但众所周知,很难使这种连续变量态叠加。我们已经实现了两个光学连续变量状态的量子比特的完整工程和表征。以压缩真空为源,采用特殊的光子相减技术,可以高精度地制备压缩真空与压缩单光子的任意叠加态。这可能为相干态量子计算的演示开辟道路。

英文摘要:

In a new branch of quantum computing, information is encoded into coherent states, the primary carriers of optical communication. To exploit it, quantum bits of these coherent states are needed, but it is notoriously hard to make superpositions of such continuous-variable states. We have realized the complete engineering and characterization of a qubit of two optical continuous-variable states. Using squeezed vacuum as a resource and a special photon subtraction technique, we could with high precision prepare an arbitrary superposition of squeezed vacuum and a squeezed single photon. This could lead the way to demonstrations of coherent state quantum computing.
