  • Publication number: 20230318716
    Abstract: This application discloses an optical apparatus for quantum computing, a system, a method and a storage medium. The apparatus includes: a delay generation module configured to generate different time delays for n photons respectively; an optical fiber collimation module configured to convert light rays of the n photons into n collimated light rays to propagate; a quasi-spatial mode generation module configured to enable the light rays of the n photons to pass through the same active optical element in sequence, the active optical element being configured to modulate the optical signals of the n photons in sequence according to the time sequence in which the n photons arrive; and a feedforward measurement module configured to perform polarimetry on a modulated optical signal of a first photon to obtain a measurement result for performing feedforward compensation or feedforward error correction on a measurement result of a second photon to be measured.

  • Publication number: 20230296926
    Abstract: An optical demultiplexer is provided, comprising: a first mirror and a second mirror; an electro-optic modulator arranged in an optical trajectory between the first and second mirrors; and a first polarizing beam-splitter arranged in the optical trajectory between the first mirror and the electro-optic modulator. The electro-optic modulator is configured to change, when in a first state, a polarization of light pulses passing through the electro-optic modulator; the light pulses travelling in the optical trajectory between the first mirror and the second mirror are displaced perpendicular to a propagation direction of the light pulses between the first mirror and the second mirror during each round of travelling forth and back between the first mirror and the second mirror; and the first polarizing beam-splitter is configured to reflect the light pulses which are displaced with respect to each other perpendicular to the propagation direction onto different, respective output trajectories.

  • Publication number: 20210334692
    Abstract: Method and system for executing a one-time program comprising at least one instruction operating on at least one input value (a, b) and returning at least one output value (O), wherein each instruction of the one-time program is encoded onto a state of an elementary quantum system, comprising: encoding the at least one input value (a, b) onto a quantum gate according to a pre-defined input-encoding scheme; applying the quantum gate to the at least one elementary quantum system; making a measurement of a resulting state of the at least one elementary quantum system after the quantum gate; and determining the at least one output value from a result of the measurement.
