摘要:

压缩真空是光的最基本的量子态之一,其中一个正交项中的噪声小于标准量子噪声极限。光学压缩真空的产生及其应用已取得了重大进展。然而,在纳米光子学中产生、操纵和测量这样的量子态仍然是具有挑战性的,其具有广泛的可扩展的量子信息系统所需的性能。在这里,我们克服了这一挑战,在锂离子纳米光子学利用超短脉冲相敏放大器在同一芯片上的压缩态的产生和全光学测量。我们产生一个压缩状态跨越超过25太赫兹的带宽支持只有几个光周期,并测量最大4.9分贝的压缩($\sim$ 11分贝推断)。这种压缩水平超过了大范围量子信息系统的要求。我们的研究结果在纳米光子学的产生和测量的少光周期压缩态,使一个实用的路径可扩展的量子信息系统与太赫兹时钟速率和开放的机会,研究非经典性质的光在子周期制度。

英文摘要:

One of the most fundamental quantum states of light is squeezed vacuum, in which noise in one of the quadratures is less than the standard quantum noise limit. Significant progress has been made in the generation of optical squeezed vacuum and its utilization for numerous applications. However, it remains challenging to generate, manipulate, and measure such quantum states in nanophotonics with performances required for a wide range of scalable quantum information systems. Here, we overcome this challenge in lithium niobate nanophotonics by utilizing ultrashort-pulse phase-sensitive amplifiers for both generation and all-optical measurement of squeezed states on the same chip. We generate a squeezed state spanning over more than 25 THz of bandwidth supporting only a few optical cycles, and measure a maximum of 4.9 dB of squeezing ($\sim$11 dB inferred). This level of squeezing surpasses the requirements for a wide range of quantum information systems. Our results on generation and measurement of few-optical-cycle squeezed states in nanophotonics enable a practical path towards scalable quantum information systems with THz clock rates and open opportunities for studying non-classical nature of light in the sub-cycle regime.
