Description

Noise-free linear amplification method for polarization-time segment super-coding FOCK state
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of quantum communication, and mainly relates to a noise-free linear amplification method of FOCK state of polarization-time segment two-degree-of-freedom coding.
Background
Quantum communication means that the transmission of information is realized to the rationale of utilizing quantum mechanics, and compared with classical communication, quantum communication has better security. Photons are the best carriers for quantum communication. The existing quantum communication protocol mainly carries out coding in the polarization or space mode freedom degree of a single photon. In fact, in addition to the above two modes, degrees of freedom such as time slice, frequency, etc. can be used for encoding. Meanwhile, coding in multiple degrees of freedom of photons can effectively improve the channel capacity of the photons, and the coding is widely used in various quantum communication schemes to increase the practical communication efficiency. When photons are transmitted in an actual channel, due to the existence of environmental noise in the channel, photon transmission loss inevitably exists, so that the photons are exponentially attenuated along with the increase of the channel length during transmission, and the serious image affects the communication length of quantum communication. Quantum noise-free linear amplification is an important approach to combat photon transmission loss. In 2009, Ralph and Lund put forward the concept of quantum noise-free linear amplification for the first time; in 2010, Gisin proposed a noiseless linear amplification scheme based on linear optics and applied this scheme to device independent quantum key distribution. Most of the currently proposed noiseless linear amplification protocols aim at amplification of single photon states or two-photon entangled states of discrete variables, and can keep the coded information of the photons in the degrees of freedom such as polarization, time slice, frequency and the like unchanged while realizing amplification, but the noiseless linear amplification protocols aim at continuous variables. The FOCK state is a common continuous variable entanglement state, is an important resource of quantum communication, and is widely applied to various quantum communication protocols at present. In 2020, a noiseless linear amplification protocol for a FOCK state is proposed, however, the noiseless amplification protocol does not consider the encoding situation of photons, and therefore, the coded information of photons cannot be retained while achieving FOCK state amplification. Therefore, the research on the noiseless amplification protocol in the FOCK state of the multi-freedom coding has important value for realizing the efficient quantum communication of the FOCK state based on the multi-freedom coding.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the technical problem of noise-free linear amplification of FOCK state of simultaneous multi-free coding, the invention considers that the polarization and time slice freedom degree of each photon in FOCK state are coded simultaneously, and designs a noise-free linear amplification method of FOCK state of polarization-time slice two-freedom-degree coding by introducing the idea of parallel quantum scissors, thereby improving the average photon number of FOCK state and effectively protecting the coding condition of photons on polarization and time slice self-freedom degree.
The invention relates to a noise-free linear amplification method of a polarization-time segment super-coding FOCK state, which comprises the following steps:
step 1, a sender prepares a group of arbitrarily polarized-time-sliced double-freedom-degree supercoded FOCK states, and the FOCK states pass through a first N-order beam splitter array, and the first N-order beam splitter array evenly divides incident states into N paths, so that quantum states on each path are attenuated into weak coherent states;
step 2, installing the same quantum scissors device on each path, and providing 4 auxiliary polarized photons in each path; the incident state and the auxiliary state of each path enter the quantum scissors device, if the quantum scissors devices on some paths do not obtain the successful detector response condition, all output states are discarded, and the scheme is terminated; if the quantum scissors devices on all paths obtain successful detector response conditions, the output states of all the quantum scissors devices are reserved, and step 3 is carried out;
step 3, inputting the output states of the quantum scissors devices on the N paths into a second N-order beam splitter array, and converging the output states of the N paths into a total path for output;
and 4, measuring the photon number of all output ports of the second N-order beam splitter array except the first output port, and when the photon number of the output ports of other paths is zero, the noise-free linear amplification scheme of the polarization-time slice super coding FOCK state is successful.

Further, for a single quantum scissor device, when the input is in a vacuum state, the scheme success probability is t 4 (ii) a When the input is a single photon, the probability of success of the scheme is t 3 (1-t); thus, the probability of success P of a quantum scissors arrangement on a single path 0 =C 0 t 4 +C 1 t 3 (1-t) wherein C 0 t 4 Is the amplified success probability when the input is in a vacuum state, C 1 t 3 (1-t) is the amplification success probability when the input is a single photon.

Detailed Description
In order that the present invention may be more readily and clearly understood, there now follows a more particular description of the invention in terms of specific embodiments and reference to the accompanying drawings.
Because the photon can generate transmission loss in the process of transmitting information in an imperfect channel, the pure state and the mixed state of the photon are mixed with a certain probability, the efficiency of quantum communication is greatly reduced, the safety of the quantum communication is threatened, the loss of photon transmission can be effectively resisted by the noise-free linear amplification technology, and the noise-free linear amplification technology plays an important role in remote quantum communication. Aiming at the technical problems that the noise-free linear amplification protocol of continuous variables (such as coherent states) at the present stage is less, and the existing noise-free linear amplification scheme aiming at FOCK states cannot keep the coding information of FOCK states on the degrees of freedom of polarization and time slices, the invention provides a noise-free linear amplification method of coherent states (FOCK states) of polarization-time slice double-degree-of-freedom super coding, which can perfectly keep the coding information of photons on the degrees of freedom of polarization and time slices while amplifying the FOCK states.

Since the photon detector can accurately detect the number of incident photons,therefore we divide the eight detectors into D 1 D 3 、D 2 D 4 、D 5 D 7 、D 6 D 8 Four groups of detectors are defined, and when only one detector in each group accurately detects one photon, the quantum scissors device operates successfully; when other conditions occur, the quantum shear device fails to operate. And if the quantum scissors scheme on part of paths fails to operate, discarding all output states and terminating the scheme. And if all the quantum scissors devices obtain the successful detector response condition, the output states of all the quantum scissors devices are kept, and the next step is carried out. In fig. 4, a successful detector response is shown in a single quantum shear device. Wherein ● denotes that the corresponding detector detects exactly one photon, e.g. the first ● denotes D 1 、D 2 、D 5 、D 6 The four detectors detect exactly one photon. Thus we can calculate that a total of 16 cases can make the solution successful.
The input state is not input with photons, i.e. the input photon is 0, the input state is vacuum state, and the auxiliary photon is normally from b 1 、 c 1 And (4) end input. At this time, the following partial events can make the detector respond successfully to make the scheme successful, and we set the partial events as | phi 0 >:
Figure BDA0003607107800000092
Thus, even when no photons are input at the input, there is a probability that the detector will respond successfully due to the effect of the auxiliary photons, such that the scheme is successful, the amplification scheme success probability being t 4 . In this scheme, b is the same as 4 、c 4 No photon input at the end, so no photons enter the PBS 10 Therefore, the total output state is a vacuum state.
When the input is

When the auxiliary photon is normally from b 1 、 c 1 End input, only the following part of events can make the detector response successfully to make the scheme successful, and we set the part of events as | phi 1 >,
Figure BDA0003607107800000101
Because the | alpha ∞ is satisfied 2 +|β| 2 =1,|δ| 2 +|η| 2 The probability of success of the amplification scheme can be calculated as (1-t) t ═ 1 3 At this time, in b 4 、c 4 Obtaining an output state

The total output state can be obtained by comparing the above formula
Figure BDA0003607107800000107
Therefore, the encoding condition of the output state on two degrees of freedom is perfectly reserved, and the successful amplification condition is met.
