Enabling quantum information technology with 60 photons and beyond

Abstract

Photons are a low noise and flexible quantum system, perfect for quantum networking and providing a powerful route to solving particular algorithms in quantum information processing. They provide important capabilities for quantum enhanced sensing, imaging and measurement. However, to date, it has not been possible to create high fidelity states of many correlated photons. This project will use high heralding efficiency parametric down conversion (PDC), with exquisite optical mode control, and world leading superconducting photon detectors to generate correlated states of many tens of photons in a so called scatter shot state across many temporal modes.
