Below-threshold error reduction in single photons through photon distillation
F. H. B. Somhorst, J. Saied, N. Kannan +14
Photonic quantum computers use the bosonic statistics of photons to construct, through quantum interference, the large entangled states required for measurement-based quantum compu…
Extracting the photon indistinguishability error from measurable quantum observables
Franciscus H. B. Somhorst, Jason Saied, Eleanor G. Rieffel +1
We present a method to extract the photon indistinguishability error from Hong-Ou-Mandel interference measurements, accounting for the combined effects of loss and multiphoton nois…
Mitigating quantum operation infidelity through engineering the distribution of photon losses
F. H. B. Somhorst, J. J. Renema
Multiport interferometers can be constructed from two-port components in various configurations. We investigate how these configurations influence the performance of quantum operat…
Photon distillation schemes with reduced resource costs based on multiphoton Fourier interference
F. H. B. Somhorst, B. K. Sauër, S. N. van den Hoven +1
We present a scalable scheme to achieve photon distillation, i.e. the preparation of a single photon with reduced indistinguishability error out of multiple imperfect photons, base…
Quantum simulation of thermodynamics in an integrated quantum photonic processor
F. H. B. Somhorst, R. van der Meer, M. Correa Anguita +16
One of the core questions of quantum physics is how to reconcile the unitary evolution of quantum states, which is information-preserving and time-reversible, with evolution follow…
Experimental demonstration of an efficient, semi-device-independent photonic indistinguishability witness
Reinier van der Meer, Peter Hooijschuur, Franciscus H. B. Somhorst +10
Efficient and reliable measurements of photonic indistinguishability are crucial to solidify claims of a quantum advantage in photonics. Existing indistinguishability witnesses may…
