  • NON-GAUSSIAN STATE GENERATION USING CLUSTER STATES
    Publication number: 20250053845
    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for generating, manipulating, and controlling non-Gaussian quantum states in continuous variable cluster quantum states usable for quantum computing. Some methods can be used to generate, transport, and enlarge Schrödinger-Cat states embedded in the CV cluster quantum state. Some methods can be used to transform Schrödinger-Cat states embedded in the CV quantum cluster state to grid states (such as Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill states) and enlarge the grid states. In certain embodiments, some of the methods may be used to generate and control non-Gaussian states in macronode cluster quantum states such as cluster states comprising two-mode macronodes.

  • SCALABLE PHOTONIC QUANTUM COMPUTING WITH HYBRID RESOURCE STATES
    Publication number: 20230281499
    Abstract: A system for scalable, fault-tolerant photonic quantum computing includes multiple optical circuits, multiple photon number resolving detectors (PNRs), a multiplexer, and an integrated circuit (IC). During operation, the optical circuits generate output states via Gaussian Boson sampling (GBS), and the PNRs generate qubit clusters based on the output states. The multiplexer multiplexes the qubit clusters and replaces empty modes with squeezed vacuum states, to generate multiple hybrid resource states. The IC stitches together the hybrid resource states into a higher-dimensional cluster state that includes states for fault-tolerant quantum computation.
