Engineering QND measurements for continuous variable quantum information processing
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel scheme to realize the whole class of quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements of a field quadrature is suggested. The setup requires linear optical components and squeezers, and allows optimal QND measurements of quadratures, which minimize the information gain versus state disturbance trade-off.

Demonstration of a quantum nondemolition sum gate.
The sum gate is the canonical two-mode gate for universal quantum computation based on continuous quantum variables. It represents the natural analogue to a qubit C-NOT gate. In addition, the continuous-variable gate describes a quantum nondemolition (QND) interaction between the quadrature components of two light modes. We experimentally demonstrate a QND sum gate, employing the scheme by R. F...
متن کاملQuantum nondemolition measurements of a qubit coupled to a harmonic oscillator
We theoretically describe the weak measurement of a two-level system qubit and quantify the degree to which such a qubit measurement has a quantum nondemolition QND character. The qubit is coupled to a harmonic oscillator, which undergoes a projective measurement. Information on the qubit state is extracted from the oscillator measurement outcomes, and the QND character of the measurement is in...
متن کاملNonclassical correlations between photon number and quadrature components of the light field
Finite resolution quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements allow a determination of light field properties while preserving some of the original quantum coherence of the input state. It is thus possible to measure correlations between the photon number and a quadrature component of the same light field mode. Nonclassical features emerge as photon number quantization is resolved. In particular, ...
متن کاملContinuous-variable quantum information processing
Observables of quantum systems can possess either a discrete or a continuous spectrum. For example, upon measurements of the photon number of a light state, discrete outcomes will result whereas measurements of the light’s quadrature amplitudes result in continuous outcomes. If one uses the continuous degree of freedom of a quantum system for encoding, processing or detecting information, one e...
متن کاملQuantum noise squeezing and entanglement on the atomic clock transition
Squeezing of quantum fluctuations by means of entanglement is a well recognized goal in the field of quantum information science and precision measurements. In particular, squeezing the fluctuations via entanglement between two-level atoms can improve the precision of atom clocks and of spectroscopy in general [1, 2]. Here, we demonstrate 3.4 dB of metrologically relevant squeezing and entangle...
