Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of quantum information. It relates more precisely to a system for converting the encoding of quantum bits of discrete quantum variables into continuous quantum variables, making it possible to implement quantum interconnections between heterogeneous systems.
- Quantum information techniques have developed following two traditionally separate approaches: an approach based on quantum bits, or qubits, encoded into discrete variables and an approach based on qubits encoded into continuous variables.
- a discrete variable encoding is based on the use of observables whose eigenvalues can take discrete values.
- Discrete qubits can for example be encoded on the spin of an electron, the polarization of a photon, the presence or absence of a particle or even on a time interval (“time-bin” in English). This last possibility consists in creating a state of superposition of a particle by giving it the possibility of passing through two optical paths of different lengths, thus creating a coherent superposition of the two quantum states of the particle.
- Continuous variable encoding relies on the use of observables whose eigenvalues can take continuous values.
- Continuous qubits can for example be encoded by a superposition of coherent states of light.
- discrete qubits can be more easily stored in quantum memories, but the protocols for manipulating these qubits remain to this day mostly probabilistic.
- Continuous qubits instead allow the implementation of deterministic protocols such as deterministic teleportation of a state, and can facilitate certain quantum computing functionalities.
- Various implementations of quantum computers are being made which also rely on different encodings of information.
- Application US2005/254823 relates to a device for converting or transferring quantum information encoded in the form of photons from a first photon state to a second photon state.
- Several embodiments of the device are disclosed.
- the hybrid entangled state between the discrete qubit and the continuous qubit is created with a strong vacuum contribution which can only be ruled out by a post-selection step.
- a post-selection step is not acceptable for transfer protocols of unknown quantum states, because it is then not possible to determine which events can be ignored.
- the object of the invention is to meet this need at least in part.
- the invention relates to a system for converting the encoding of qubits encoded in discrete variable into qubits encoded in continuous variable, comprising: - an input channel of a qubit encoded in discrete variable,

- the invention makes it possible to carry out a hybrid teleportation between continuous variable and discrete variable. This is achieved by mixing the complementary modes of the first and second compressed vacuum state sources, which creates hybrid entanglement, and mixing an input discrete qubit with the discrete mode of the hybrid entanglement state. A Bell measurement is made by the photon counting device, which announces the success of the conversion.
- the invention allows a qubit encoding conversion that does not require any post-selection step.
- the beam splitter is for example a semi-reflecting mirror.
- a compressed vacuum state source is a device comprising nonlinear properties allowing the generation of compressed vacuum states, in particular one-mode or two-mode compressed vacuum states.
- a compressed vacuum state source is, for example, a single-pass nonlinear crystal, in particular an optical parametric amplifier (OPA), a nonlinear crystal arranged in a cavity, in particular an optical parametric oscillator (OPO), an optical fiber comprising third-order non-linearities, for example obtained by four-wave mixing or by the Kerr effect, or even an atomic system allowing light-matter interactions such as hot vapors or clouds of atoms.

- the first OPO 3 produces a compressed vacuum state with noise reduction of 5dB or less, more preferably 3dB or less.
- the arrival of a photon on the first detector 15 corresponds to one of two states which cannot be distinguished from each other, due to the mixing carried out by the third separator.
- the two states which cannot be distinguished are the following: either the detected photon comes from of the second OPO 5 in which case a compressed vacuum state was present at the output of the first OPO 3 on the output channel 8 and a single photon was present at the output of the second OPO 5, or the detected photon comes from the first OPO 3, in which case a vacuum state was present at the output of the second OPO 5 and a compressed vacuum state with photon subtraction was present on the output channel 8 of the first OPO 3.
- the detection of a photon on the first detector 15 announces the creation of a hybrid entanglement state of the form

- Detection by the SNSPD detector makes it possible to rule out the case of the absence of a photon.
- detection by the SNSPD detector means either that a photon is directed towards the homodyne detector in the case of the initial presence of two photons, or that no photon is directed towards the homodyne detector in the case of the initial presence of a single photon.
- the homodyne detector makes it possible to discriminate between the presence and the absence of a photon and therefore to determine whether a single photon has entered the photon counting device.
