Metelmann* and A. A. Clerk Department of Physics, McGill University, 3600 rue University, Montréal, Quebec H3A 2T8, Canada (Received 8 November 2013; published 4 April 2014) We describe a new kind of phase-preserving quantum amplifier which utilizes dissipative interactions in a parametrically coupled three-mode bosonic system. The use of dissipative interactions provides a fundamental advantage over standard cavity-based parametric amplifiers: large photon number gains are possible with quantum-limited added noise, with no limitation on the gain-bandwidth product. We show that the scheme is simple enough to be implemented both in optomechanical systems and in super- conducting microwave circuits.

Our approach is related to reservoir engineering [31], This interaction simply converts a pump mode photon into where one constructs a nontrivial dissipative reservoir that two photons, one in the signal mode, the other in the idler relaxes a system to a desired target state (e.g., an entangled mode. The result is that weak signals incident on the signal state [32–36]).

  • S Theorem by Quantifying the Asymmetry of Quantum States
    ARTICLE Received 9 Dec 2013 | Accepted 7 Apr 2014 | Published 13 May 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms4821 Extending Noether’s theorem by quantifying the asymmetry of quantum states Iman Marvian1,2,3 & Robert W. Spekkens1 Noether’s theorem is a fundamental result in physics stating that every symmetry of the dynamics implies a conservation law. It is, however, deficient in several respects: for one, it is not applicable to dynamics wherein the system interacts with an environment; furthermore, even in the case where the system is isolated, if the quantum state is mixed then the Noether conservation laws do not capture all of the consequences of the symmetries. Here we address these deficiencies by introducing measures of the extent to which a quantum state breaks a symmetry. Such measures yield novel constraints on state transitions: for non- isolated systems they cannot increase, whereas for isolated systems they are conserved. We demonstrate that the problem of finding non-trivial asymmetry measures can be solved using the tools of quantum information theory. Applications include deriving model-independent bounds on the quantum noise in amplifiers and assessing quantum schemes for achieving high-precision metrology. 1 Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, 31 Caroline St. N, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 2Y5. 2 Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo, 200 University Ave. W, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1. 3 Center for Quantum Information Science and Technology, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089, USA.

  • 16 Quantum Computing and Communications
    16 Quantum Computing and Communications We've seen many ways in which physical laws set profound limits: messages can't travel faster than the speed of light; transistors can't be shrunk below the size of an atom. Conventional scaling of device performance, which has been based on increasing clock speeds and decreasing feature sizes, is already bumping into such fundamental constraints. But these same laws also contain opportunities. The universe offers many more ways to communicate and manipulate information than we presently use, most notably through quantum coherence. Specifying the state of N quantum bits, called qubits, requires 2N coefficients. That's a lot. Quantum mechanics is essential to explain semiconductor band structure, but the devices this enables perform classical functions. Perfectly good logic families can be based on the flow of a liquid or a gas; this is called fluidic logic [Spuhler, 1983] and is used routinely in automobile transmissions. In fact, quantum effects can cause serious problems as VLSI devices are scaled down to finer linewidths, because small gates no longer work the same as their larger counterparts do. But what happens if the bits themselves are governed by quantum rather than classical laws? Since quantum mechanics is so important, and so strange, a number of early pioneers wondered how a quantum mechanical computer might differ from a classical one [Benioff, 1980; Feynman, 1982; Deutsch, 1985]. Feynman, for example, objected to the exponential cost of simulating a quantum system on a classical computer, and conjectured that a quantum computer could simulate another quantum system efficiently (i.e., with less than exponential resources).

We find that under many conditions the non-ideal behavior can be described simply by assuming that the internal noise source that describes the quantum noise of the amplifier is not in its ground state.

  • Quantum Information Tapping Using a Fiber Optical Parametric Amplifier
    Quantum information tapping using a fiber optical parametric amplifier with noise figure improved by correlated inputs Xueshi Guo1, Xiaoying Li1*, Nannan Liu1 and Z. Y. Ou2,+ 1 College of Precision Instrument and Opto-electronics Engineering, Tianjin University, Key Laboratory of Optoelectronics Information Technology, Ministry of Education, Tianjin, 300072, P. R. China 2 Department of Physics, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN 46202, USA Corresponding authors: *[email protected] and + [email protected] Abstract One of the important function in optical communication system is the distribution of information encoded in an optical beam. It is not a problem to accomplish this in a classical system since classical information can be copied at will. However, challenges arise in quantum system because extra quantum noise is often added when the information content of a quantum state is distributed to various users. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a quantum information tap by using a fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA) with correlated inputs, whose noise is reduced by the destructive quantum interference through quantum entanglement between the signal and the idler input fields. By measuring the noise figure of the FOPA and comparing with a regular FOPA, we observe an improvement of 0.7± 0.1dB and 0.84± 0.09 dB from the signal and idler 1 outputs, respectively. When the low noise FOPA functions as an information splitter, the device has a total information transfer coefficient of TTsi+=1.47 ± 0.2 , which is greater than the classical limit of 1. Moreover, this fiber based device works at the 1550 nm telecom band, so it is compatible with the current fiber-optical network.
