研究目的
To fully verify the functionality of a time-bin qubit controlled-phase gate and demonstrate its application in quantum computation.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates high-fidelity controlled-phase and controlled-NOT gates for time-bin qubits, confirming their potential for use in distributed quantum computation.
研究不足
The experiment is limited by the fluctuation of the splitting ratio of the 2 × 2 switch, losses in the interferometers and optical switch, and the long measurement time required for quantum process tomography.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment involves the use of a 2 × 2 optical switch based on a lithium-niobate waveguide to implement a controlled-phase gate for time-bin qubits. Quantum process tomography is used to characterize the gate operation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Correlated photon pairs are generated using a periodically poled potassium-titanyl-phosphate waveguide pumped by second-harmonic generation light. The photons are prepared in specific time-bin qubit states.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The setup includes an external-cavity diode laser, optical intensity modulator, erbium-doped fiber amplifier, periodically poled lithium-niobate waveguide, superconducting single-photon detectors, and a time-interval analyzer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The experiment involves preparing input states, passing them through the controlled-phase gate, and performing quantum state tomography on the output states.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data is analyzed using maximum-likelihood estimation to reconstruct the process matrix and calculate the process fidelity.
