Implementable Hybrid Entanglement Witness

Abstract
Hybrid encoding of quantum information is a promising approach towards the realisation of optical quantum protocols. It combines advantages of continuous variables encoding, such as high efficiencies, with those of discrete variables, such as high fidelities. In particular, entangled hybrid states were shown to be a valuable ressource for quantum information protocols. In this work, we present a hybrid entanglement witness that can be implemented on currently available experiments and is robust to noise currently observed in quantum optical set-ups. The proposed witness is based on measurements of genuinely hybrid observables. The noise model we consider is general. It is formally characterised with Kraus operators since the considered hybrid system can be expressed in a finite dimension basis. A practical advantage of the witness is that it can be tested by measuring just a few experimentally available observables.
