Probabilistic Quantum Encoder for Single-Photon Qubits
T. B. Pittman, B. C Jacobs, J. D. Franson
We describe an experiment in which a physical qubit represented by the polarization state of a single-photon was probabilistically encoded in the logical state of two photons. The…
Photon number resolving detection using time-multiplexing
Daryl Achilles, Christine Silberhorn, Cezary Sliwa +6
Detectors that can resolve photon number are needed in many quantum information technologies. In order to be useful in quantum information processing, such detectors should be simp…
Photon number resolution using a time-multiplexed single-photon detector
M. J. Fitch, B. C. Jacobs, T. B. Pittman +1
Photon number resolving detectors are needed for a variety of applications including linear-optics quantum computing. Here we describe the use of time-multiplexing techniques that…
Heralded Two-Photon Entanglement from Probabilistic Quantum Logic Operations on Multiple Parametric Down-Conversion Sources
T. B. Pittman, M. M. Donegan, M. J. Fitch +5
An ideal controlled-NOT gate followed by projective measurements can be used to identify specific Bell states of its two input qubits. When the input qubits are each members of ind…
Generation of entangled ancilla states for use in linear optics quantum computing
J. D. Franson, M. M. Donegan, B. C. Jacobs
We describe several different methods for generating the entangled ancilla states that are required for linear optics quantum computing. We show that post-selection can be used in…
Experimental Controlled-NOT Logic Gate for Single Photons in the Coincidence Basis
T. B. Pittman, M. J. Fitch, B. C Jacobs +1
We report a proof-of-principle demonstration of a probabilistic controlled-NOT gate for single photons. Single-photon control and target qubits were mixed with a single ancilla pho…
