Schrodinger cats and their power for quantum information processing

A. Gilchrist, Kae Nemoto, W. J. Munro +4

We outline a toolbox comprised of passive optical elements, single photon detection and superpositions of coherent states (Schrodinger cat states). Such a toolbox is a powerful col…

Measuring a photonic qubit without destroying it

G. J. Pryde, J. L. O'Brien, A. G. White +2

Measuring the polarisation of a single photon typically results in its destruction. We propose, demonstrate, and completely characterise a \emph{quantum non-demolition} (QND) schem…

Teleportation in a non-inertial frame

Paul M. Alsing, David McMahon, G. J. Milburn

In this work, we describe the process of teleportation between Alice in an inertial frame, and Rob who is in uniform acceleration with respect to Alice. The fidelity of the telepor…

Transmission Of Optical Coherent State Qubits

S. Glancy, H. M. Vasconcelos, T. C. Ralph

We discuss the long distance transmission of qubits encoded in optical coherent states. Through absorption these qubits suffer from two main types of errors, the reduction of the a…

Measuring Controlled-NOT and two-qubit gate operation

Andrew G. White, Alexei Gilchrist, Geoffrey J. Pryde +3

Accurate characterisation of two-qubit gates will be critical for any realisation of quantum computation. We discuss a range of measurements aimed at characterising a two-qubit gat…
