Description

Light quantum chip and teaching machine system
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of quantum information and quantum teaching, and particularly relates to an optical quantum chip and a teaching machine system.
Background
Quantum information technology is the leading edge direction of technological competition of various countries, and comprises subdivision fields such as quantum computing, quantum key distribution, quantum precision measurement and the like. Due to the superposition, uncertainty, entanglement and other characteristics of quantum mechanics, the quantum information technology can achieve the advantages of exceeding the storage and calculation capacity of a classical computer, unconditional secure secret communication in the information theory sense, exceeding the measurement accuracy of classical resolution limit and the like. Quantum optics is an important way and research basis for realizing quantum information technology, and the integrated optical chip technology has the advantages of high stability, low cost, mass production and the like relative to a space optical path. In recent years, the implementation of quantum information experiments by using integrated optical chip technology has become a research hotspot and a development trend.
Single photon interference and two photon interference (also known as HOM interference) are the most fundamental experiments and techniques in quantum optics. The single photon interference is widely applied to the fields of various quantum key distribution protocols (such as BB84 protocol), quantum sensing, path coding of quantum computation and the like, and the two-photon interference is applied to the glassy color sampling, measurement equipment-independent quantum key distribution protocols and the like.
The implementation of the glass color sampling in the quantum optical system can realize the operation of the product and the formula of the matrix, and the operation is difficult for a classical computer, namely, the calculation complexity of the operation grows exponentially with the size of the matrix, but the calculation complexity of the quantum system with parallel calculation capability does not grow exponentially, so the glass color sampling task is a typical experiment for demonstrating the superiority of quantum calculation.
For quantum computing, there are two main approaches to computing architecture, namely, a quantum gate based on unitary evolution and a quantum computing model based on measurement. Both architectures have advantages and disadvantages, and can realize general sub-calculation. For the quantum gate model, a set of arbitrary quantum gates can be theoretically combined by a two-bit controlled NOT gate (CNOT gate) and a single-bit quantum gate, so that a general quantum computation can be realized, and therefore, the two-bit controlled NOT gate is a basic constituent unit of the quantum gate model.
At present, the development of quantum information technology is still in the primary stage, and many misinterpretations exist on quantum information technology by masses, and quantum teaching is also in the theoretical learning stage. In quantum teaching, quantum experiments such as single photon interference experiments based on a marked single photon source, single photon interference experiments based on single-channel photons, HOM interference experiments, two-photon glass color sampling experiments, two-photon controlled NOT gate and the like are particularly important for understanding quantum information technology. The development of quantum information technology is urgent to cultivate talents, especially for low-grade research students, family and special students and senior students, and the development of quantum information education and teaching system or device which is beneficial to large-scale popularization, low in cost, convenient to operate and high in stability is important.

The two detectors detect the light quantum state and output response electric signals, the photon counting unit in the control unit receives the electric signals output by the detectors and performs coincidence counting, meanwhile, the coincidence counting result is transmitted to the upper computer, and the upper computer forms a change curve of coincidence counting of the two detectors along with the two-photon delay based on the delay time input by the software operating system and the received coincidence counting result. The technical scheme in the embodiment can be applied to two-photon interference experiments.
The adjustable delay module is a free space type optical delay line or a delay chip. When the adjustable delay module is a delay chip, the adjustable delay module can be integrated on an optical quantum chip. The free space type optical delay line is a main commercial type at present and is generally composed of two self-focusing lenses, a right-angle prism, a moving bracket and a high-precision screw rod, and the delay mechanism is as follows: the distance between the right-angle prism and the self-focusing lens is changed, so that the optical path of the back and forth light beam in space is continuously changed, and corresponding time delay is obtained.
The light quantum chip and the teaching machine system disclosed by the utility model can operate 5 quantum information basic experiments: the single photon interference experiment based on the marked single photon source, the single photon interference experiment based on the single photon, the two-photon interference experiment, the two-photon glass color sampling experiment and the two-photon controlled NOT gate experiment realize multiplexing of the light path and the optical device without changing connection structures such as an external light source, a detector and the like. The state of different MZ interferometers is controlled through software operation programming installed on the upper computer, when different experiments are carried out, different experimental parameters are input into the software operation system, so that the rapid switching of different experimental light paths can be realized, the operation is convenient, the multiplexing of peripheral high-price devices such as light sources, detectors and the like is realized, the experimental cost is greatly reduced, and the device is suitable for quantum teaching and demonstration and has popularization.
The switching process of the light quantum chip in 5 experiments is as follows: firstly, a user selects experiments in a software operation system on an upper computer, the software operation system calculates control current values of a corresponding intra-loop thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM1 and an external-loop thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM2 in 11 MZ interferometers according to corresponding light paths under different experiments, and a control module controls corresponding currents to be loaded on an optical quantum chip. The light source and the detector start to work, the experiment starts, and finally, corresponding experiment results are obtained, so that corresponding experiments are completed.
The following will explain the above 5 experiments one by one. In order to facilitate explanation and explanation of path selection under different experiments, quantum states at different positions of the MZ interferometer are labeled first, as shown in fig. 6, the quantum states at different positions of the MZ interferometer are respectively denoted by |0>, |1>, |2>, |3>, |4>, and|5 >. The entangled photon pairs generated by the light source are denoted as photon 1 and photon 2, respectively. Photon 1 is input to the second photon input end 22 via the edge coupler 4 and photon 2 is input to the third photon input end 23 via the edge coupler 4. The second photon output end 32 is connected to one single photon detector through the edge coupler 4, the third photon output end 33 is connected to the other single photon detector through the edge coupler 4, and the rear ends of the first photon output end 21, the fourth photon output end 34, the fifth photon output end 35 and the sixth photon output end 36 are not connected to the single photon detector, so that the quantum state transmitted to the four photon output ends is ineffective transmission, and is ineffective in experiments.
Experiment one: single photon interference experiment based on marked single photon source
The single photon interference experimental light path of the single photon source is shown in fig. 7, and the dotted line path in fig. 7 indicates that the photons 1 and 2 do not pass through, and the method is equally applicable to the light path diagrams of the experiment two, the experiment three, the experiment four and the experiment five described below. Photon 1 interferes with MZ at fifth MZ interferometer 15 and enters the external single photon detector through edge coupler 4 via second photon output 32. After passing through a series of MZ interferometers with a cyclic thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM1 phase of 0/pi, the photon 2 enters the external single photon detector through the edge coupler 4 via the third photon output 33. Since the generation of the two-photon entanglement source is a spontaneous parametric down-conversion process, photon 1 and photon 2 are generated strictly simultaneously in the time dimension. Therefore, the coincidence measurement on the time of the photon 1 and the photon 2 can be carried out, namely, only the two single photon detectors respond simultaneously and are marked as effective counting, so that the photon 2 acts as the mark of the occurrence of the photon 1, thereby reducing experimental noise and improving the experimental effect of single photon interference.
The quantum state evolution process of photon 1 is specifically described below. After the photon 1 is input into the six-mode interference network through the edge coupler 4, the photon enters the third MZ interferometer 13, the phase of the intra-loop thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM1 of the interferometer is set to 0, at this time, the third MZ interferometer 13 is equivalent to a reflecting mirror, as shown in FIG. 7, the photon 1 is input from the second photon input end 22 to the input upper port of the third MZ interferometer 13, and then all the photons are output from the output upper port of the third MZ interferometer 13, so that the quantum state of the photons is not changed. After that, photon 1 enters fifth MZ interferometer 15, as noted with reference to FIG. 6, assuming that photon 1 has a quantum state of |1> before entering fifth MZ interferometer 15, it passes through first 50 in fifth MZ interferometer 15: after 50 beam splitter BS1, the quantum state becomes:
Figure SMS_1
After passing through the intra-annular thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM1 in the fifth MZ interferometer 15, the quantum state |2>The phase will be modulated, adding the phase modulation term e Where i denotes the imaginary number i, phi is the phase of the cyclic thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM1 of the fifth MZ interferometer 15, the quantum state becomes:
Figure SMS_2
through a second 50 in the fifth MZ interferometer 15: after 50 beam splitter BS2, the quantum state becomes
Figure SMS_3
Thereafter the photon 1 output from the lower port of the fifth MZ interferometer 15 enters the eighth MZ interferometer 18, and the phase of the intra-annular thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM1 in the eighth MZ interferometer 18 is set to 0, i.e. the photons 1 all enter the external single photon detector via the second photon output end 32.
As can be seen from the above formula, the fifth MZ interferometer 15 outputs a quantum state |5>The probability of (2) can be expressed as
Figure SMS_4
I.e. when the phase of the thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM1 in the fifth MZ interferometer 15 is changed, the second photon output end 32 outputsThe intensity of the photon 1 is accompanied by interference phase expansion and cancellation phenomena, namely single photon interference.
Experiment II: single-photon interference experiment based on single-channel photon
Unlike the single photon interference experiment based on the marked single photon source, the single photon interference experiment of single photon only uses photon 1 to carry out single photon interference, and the experimental light path design is shown in fig. 8.
Unlike the first experiment, in which the photon 1 enters the eighth MZ interferometer 18 after passing through the third MZ interferometer 13 and the fifth MZ interferometer 15 and single photon interference occurs, this time the photon 1 is input into the eighth MZ interferometer 18 in the quantum state |0>, so that the quantum state finally output is:
Figure SMS_5
wherein quantum states |4>, |5> in the eighth MZ interferometer 18 are respectively input into the second photon output end 32 and the third photon output end 33, and phi is the phase regulated by the thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM1 in the eighth MZ interferometer 18.
The single photon counts output from the second photon output end 32 and the third photon output end 33 undergo the phenomenon of interference phase rise/cancel with the change of phi, and the two are added to a constant value. By measuring the interference curve, the user can complete a single-channel single-photon interference experiment.
It should be noted here that photon 2 is input into the six-mode interference network and finally rejected through path selection, and does not play a role in the experiment.
Experiment III: two-photon interference experiment
The two-photon interference experiment is also called an HOM interference experiment, and refers to a phenomenon that two photons interfere at a beam splitter so that the two photons take the same path. The design of the two-photon interference experimental light path is shown in fig. 9, the path with a solid line is a composite path after the interference of the photon 1 and the photon 2 in fig. 9, and the representation method is also applied to the light path diagrams of the experiment four and the experiment five described below. Photon 1 and photon 2 undergo two-photon interference in the sixth MZ interferometer 16. The specific interference process is as follows. Photon 1 and photon 2 enter the first 50 in the sixth MZ interferometer 16: before 50 beam splitter BS1, the quantum state can be written as:
Figure SMS_6
The subscripts represent photon 1 and photon 2. Passing through the first 50 in the sixth MZ interferometer 16: after 50 beam splitter BS1, the quantum state transforms to:
Figure SMS_7
the photonic phase of the cyclic thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM1 through the sixth MZ interferometer 16 is modulated to pi/2, and the quantum state changes to:
Figure SMS_8
through the second 50: after 50 beam splitter BS2, the quantum state changes as:
Figure SMS_9
since photon 1 and photon 2 are exactly identical in wavelength, polarization, if photon 1 and photon 2 are tuned to reach the second 50 in the sixth MZ interferometer 16: the delay of the 50 beam splitter BS2 causes the two photons to arrive simultaneously in time, and the photons 1 and 2 cannot be distinguished in all dimensions such as polarization, wavelength and arrival time, so there is |5> 1 |4> 2 =|4> 1 |5> 2 The above quantum states can be written as:
Figure SMS_10
wherein |4> 1 |5> 2 ,|5> 1 |4> 2 Representing that two photons respectively travel two paths, |4> 1 |4> 2 ,|5> 1 |5> 2 Representing twoThe photons follow the same path. From the above deduction, after two-photon interference, two photons all travel the same path, and quantum states of different paths cancel each other.
Referring to fig. 9, the paths of the photons 1 and 2 after two-photon interference in the sixth MZ interferometer 16 coincide, forming a composite path of the photons 1 and 2, entering the external single-photon detector from the second photon output end 32 and the third photon output end 33, respectively. The two single photon detectors detect the light quantum state and output response electric signals, the photon counting unit in the control unit receives the electric signals output by the single photon detectors and performs coincidence counting, meanwhile, the coincidence counting result is transmitted to the upper computer, and the upper computer forms a change curve of coincidence counting of the two single photon detectors along with the two-photon delay based on the delay time input by the software operation system and the coincidence counting result.
When the times of arrival of photon 1 and photon 2 at the sixth MZ interferometer 16 are different, 4 in the quantum state> 1 |5> 2 ,|5> 1 |4> 2 The items cannot cancel each other out, and the coincidence count is large at this time. When photon 1 and photon 2 reach the sixth MZ interferometer 16 exactly the same time, both photons take the same path, failing to produce coincidence counts, which are minimal. Thus, two-photon interference phenomenon can be observed.
Experiment IV: two-photon glass color sampling experiment: the two-photon glass color sampling experiment utilizes the mathematical problem that the photon statistical distribution is equivalent to the product of a matrix after the interference of photons in a beam splitter network to carry out quantum simulation. The two-photon glass color sampling experimental light path is shown in fig. 10. The phase of the cyclic thermo-optic phase modulator TOPM1 in the sixth MZ interferometer 16 is set to 0, which is equivalent to a total reflection mirror. The third 13, fifth 15, eighth 18 MZ interferometers form a 3*3 dimensional arbitrary unitary matrix, the values of the matrix elements being determined by the phase values of the intra-and extra-annular thermo-optic phase modulators TOPM1, TOPM2 in the 3 MZ interferometers.
Assume that the unitary matrix of three interferometers is:
Figure SMS_11
photon 1 enters the six-mode interference network from the second photon input end 22, photon 2 enters the six-mode interference network from the third photon input end 23, and the quantum state entering the unitary matrix can be expressed as |I >=|0,1,1>Then the input photon matrix U I The method comprises the following steps:
Figure SMS_12
photons output from the upper port of the eighth MZ interferometer 18 enter the single photon detector through the second photon output port 32, and photons output from the lower port of the eighth MZ interferometer 18 enter the other single photon detector through the eleventh MZ interferometer 111 and the third photon output port 33. Since photons output from the upper port of the fifth MZ interferometer 15 are not received by the single photon detector, the output quantum state is |I>=|0,1,1>. Output photon matrix U I,O Can be expressed as:
Figure SMS_13
therefore, the probability that the photons output from the upper port of the eighth MZ interferometer 18 are transmitted to the second photon output end 32 and the photons output from the lower port of the eighth MZ interferometer 18 are transmitted to the third photon output end 33 through the eleventh MZ interferometer 111 is that:
Figure SMS_14
where Per (U) represents the product-sum of the matrix.
Therefore, the product-sum type calculation result of the submatrices of any unitary matrix formed by the interference network can be obtained by measuring the coincidence counting rate of the two paths. The scheme can be used for realizing the glass color sampling experiment of a two-photon and three-dimensional matrix.
Experiment five: two photon controlled NOT gate experiment
A controlled not gate of two qubits can be realized probabilistically using linear optics, and a specific experimental scheme design is shown in fig. 11. Photon 1 is input to a third MZ interferometer 13, photon 2 is input to a second MZ interferometer 12, modulated into two path encoded qubits, and the modulated quantum state is
Figure SMS_15
The ring thermo-optic phase modulators TOPM1 of the fifth MZ interferometer 15, the sixth MZ interferometer 16 and the seventh MZ interferometer 17 take appropriate phase values to make the three MZ interferometers equivalent to beam splitters with a beam splitting ratio of 1:2, and the equivalent beam splitting ratios of the fourth MZ interferometer 14 and the ninth MZ interferometer 19 are set to be 50:50, so that quantum states in all dimensions before reaching the eighth MZ interferometer 18 and the tenth MZ interferometer 10 are:
Figure SMS_16
wherein |ψ > is a photon quantum state output by the first photon output end 31, the fourth photon output end 34, the fifth photon output end 35 and the sixth photon output end 36, and the rear ends of the first photon output end 31, the fourth photon output end 34, the fifth photon output end 35 and the sixth photon output end 36 are not connected with a single photon detector, and the quantum state can be screened and discarded by a post-selection process after path selection. Removing the quantum state of the part |psi >, and the quantum state
Figure SMS_17
Is a controlled NOT gate.
The experiment thus finally achieves the function of a controlled NOT with a probability of 1/9. The eighth MZ interferometer 18 and the tenth MZ interferometer 110 respectively constitute an arbitrary quantum state projection measurement basis of the path dimension, and can perform arbitrary projection measurement of two qubits.
