On-demand photonic entanglement synthesizer
arXiv:1811.10704 · doi:10.1126/sciadv.aaw4530
Abstract
Quantum information protocols require various types of entanglement, such as Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR), Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ), and cluster states. In optics, on-demand preparation of these states has been realized by squeezed light sources, but such experiments require different optical circuits for different entangled states, thus lacking versatility. Here we demonstrate an on-demand entanglement synthesizer which programmably generates all these entangled states from a single squeezed light source. This is achieved by developing a loop-based circuit which is dynamically controllable at nanosecond timescale. We verify the generation of 5 different small-scale entangled states as well as a large-scale cluster state containing more than 1000 modes without changing the optical circuit itself. Moreover, this circuit enables storage and release of one part of the generated entangled state, thus working as a quantum memory. This programmable loop-based circuit should open a way for a more general entanglement synthesizer and a scalable quantum processor.
