摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods for generating an entangled state of qubits. In one embodiment of the present invention, a method for preparing an entangled state of qubits comprises providing a probe and N non-interacting qubits, each qubit comprises a linear superposition of two basis states. The probe is transmitted into an interaction region that separately couples the probe to each of the qubits and produces a number of different probes. A linear superposition of states is output from the interaction region, each state in the linear superposition of states comprises a tensor product of entangled basis states and one of the different probes. The linear superposition of states is projected into one of the entangled states by measuring the state of the probe.

A photonic interconnect method avoids high capacitance electric interconnects by using optical signals to communicate data between devices. The method can provide massively parallel information output by mapping logical addresses to frequency bands, so that modulation of a selected frequency band can encode information for a specific location corresponding to the logical address. Wavelength-specific directional couplers, modulators, and detectors, which can be fabricated at defects in a photonic bandgap crystal, can be employed for the photonic interconnect method. The interconnect method can be used for both classical and quantum information processing.

Nonlinear elements can efficiently implement quantum information processing systems such as controlled phase shifters, non-absorbing detectors including parity detectors, quantum subspace projections, non-absorbing Bell state analyzers, non-absorbing encoders/entanglers, and fundamental quantum gates such as CNOT gates. The non-absorbing detectors permit improvements in the efficiency of a probabilistic quantum gate by permitting reuse of the same photonic resources during multiple passes through the probabilistic gate.

摘要:
A device capable of efficiently detecting a single-photon signal includes a matter system, sources of a first beam and a second beam, and a measurement system. The matter system has a first energy level and a second energy level such that a signal photon couples to a transition between the first energy level and the second energy level. The first beam contains photons that couple to a transition between the second energy level and a third energy level of the matter system, and the second beam contains photons that couple to a transition between the third energy level and a fourth energy level of the matter system. The measurement system measures a change in the first or second beam to detect the absence, the presence, or the number of the photons in the signal.

摘要:
The states of matter system (110) having only ones basis state that couples to an excited state can be entangled using measurements of photons during transitions from the excited state. High efficiency of entanglement operation can be achieved by repeating the measurements after performing bit flips on the matter systems (110). High efficiency of entanglement operation can be achieved using non-absorbing parity measurements on the emitted photons so that measured photons can be subsequently manipulated and measured to near-deterministically produce entangled states. Such entanglement operations can be employed to construct cluster states suitable for simulating arbitrary logic networks.
摘要:
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods for determining a phase shift acquired by an entangled N-qubit system represented by a NOON state. In one embodiment, a probe electromagnetic field is coupled with each qubit system. The phase shift acquired by the qubit systems is transferred to the probe electromagnetic field by transforming each qubit-system state into a linear superposition of qubit basis states. An intensity measurement is performed on the probe electromagnetic field in order to obtain a corresponding measurement result. A counter associated with a measurement-result interval is incremented, based on the measurement result falling within the measurement-result interval. A frequency distribution is produced by normalizing the counter associated with each measurement-result interval for a number of trials. The phase shift is determined by fitting a probability distribution associated with the probe electromagnetic field to the frequency distribution as a function of the phase shift.
