Abstract
A method of generating a photon with multiple dimensions includes a step of generating a first photon encoded with quantum information in each of two or more frequency bins and at least one time bin. The method further includes performing a frequency dependent time operation to entangle (i.e. make non-separable) the frequency bins and the time bins in the photon.
Claims (13)
1. An optical quantum logic gate, comprising
an input configured to receive a first photon encoded with quantum information in two or more frequency bins and at least one time bin; and
an optical gate element configured to perform a frequency dependent time operation to generate non-separability between the frequency bins and at least two time bins in the first photon, and wherein a different number of time bins in the first photon can exist after the frequency dependent time operation.
2. The optical quantum logic gate of claim 1 , wherein the optical gate element further comprises:
a frequency router configured to separate at least two of the frequency bins into at least first and second spatial paths;
a time-domain logic gate configured to perform a time operation in the second spatial path; and
a combiner operably coupled to recombine the frequency bins on the at least first and second spatial paths into an output spatial path.
3. The optical quantum logic gate of claim 2 , wherein each of the frequency router and the combiner comprises a dense wavelength division multiplexer.
4. The optical quantum logic gate of claim 2 , the time-domain logic gate comprises a cyclic shift X gate.
5. The optical quantum logic gate of claim 1 , wherein the optical gate element includes a dispersion module configured to perform a group velocity dispersion to delay at least one of the frequency bins based on frequency.
6. The optical quantum logic gate of claim 5 , wherein the dispersion module comprises a chirped fiber Bragg grating to perform the group velocity dispersion.
7. The optical quantum logic gate of claim 5 , wherein the optical gate further comprises a time-domain logic gate operably coupled to the dispersion module.
8. The optical quantum logic gate of claim 1 , wherein the frequency dependent time operation comprises a frequency dependent delay.
