摘要:

我们实现了压缩操作作为一个真正的量子门,确定性和可逆的作用“在线”的输入状态后,不再局限于一组高斯状态。更具体地说,通过应用一个有效的和强大的压缩操作的第一次非高斯态,我们证明了一个粒子状的单光子态和相干态的波状叠加之间的双向转换。我们的压缩门是足够可靠的,以保持相应的维格纳函数的负性。这个演示代表了混合离散和连续量子协议的重要和必要的一步。

英文摘要:

We implement the squeezing operation as a genuine quantum gate, deterministically and reversibly acting `online' upon an input state no longer restricted to the set of Gaussian states. More specifically, by applying an efficient and robust squeezing operation for the first time to non-Gaussian states, we demonstrate a two-way conversion between a particle-like single-photon state and a wave-like superposition of coherent states. Our squeezing gate is reliable enough to preserve the negativities of the corresponding Wigner functions. This demonstration represents an important and necessary step towards hybridizing discrete and continuous quantum protocols.
