Description

BACKGROUND

Entanglement has been used in a variety of applications that include quantum teleportation, satellite quantum communication, submarine quantum communication, quantum internet, quantum error correction, and quantum cryptography. Various configurations exist that can initiate entanglement, including the use of a beam splitter, two trapped ions entanglement, and entanglement of two microwave radiations. However, there is currently no system, method, or process that allows for efficient entangled states between two different radiations at different wavelengths and permits transportation of an unknown coherent state over long distances.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in different drawings may identify the same or similar elements.

Systems, devices, and/or methods described herein may provide for microwave and optical entanglement using a capacitor loaded with graphene plasmonic waveguide to realize continuous variable (CV) entangled states between two different radiations at different wavelengths by using a superconducting electrical capacitor which is loaded with graphene plasmonic waveguide and driven by a microwave quantum signal. In embodiments, the interaction of the microwave mode with the two optical modes may be used for the generation of stationary entanglement between the two output optical fields. In embodiments, a resulting CV-entangled state may be used to teleport an unknown coherent state over a long distance with high efficiency. In embodiments, the stationary entanglement and the quantum teleportation fidelity are robust with respect to the thermal microwave photons that are associated with the microwave degree of freedom.

Accordingly, as described in the following figures, systems, devices, and/or methods are described for generating a continuous variable two-mode squeezed entangled state between two optical fields independent of each other in a hybrid optical-microwave plasmonic graphene waveguide system. In embodiments, two-mode squeezed entangled state between the two optical fields are used to demonstrate quantum teleportation of an unknown coherent state between two spatially distant nodes. Accordingly, as described in the following figures, achieved quantum teleportation is secure due to the fact that the fidelity, F is above the threshold F_thr=⅔. Thus, the continuous-variable entanglement (teleportation fidelity) can be controlled and enhanced through the interaction of the microwave mode with the two optical modes. In embodiments, such pairs of entangled modes, combined with the technique of entanglement swapping, can be used as a quantum channel to teleport quantum state over large distances.

FIG. 1 shows an example graphene structure design. As shown in FIG. 1, we consider a quantum microwave signal v_m=ve^−iωmt+c·c with frequency ω_m driving a superconducting capacitor 100 of capacitance C=∈∈₀/d. In embodiments, d is the distance between the two plates of the capacitor 100. In embodiments, capacitor 100 has two plates lying in the yz-plane while a single graphene layer 102 is placed at z=0. In addition to the microwave biasing, optical fields are launched to the graphene waveguide creating surface plasmon polariton modes. In embodiments, the electrical and magnetic fields associated with a surface plasmon polariton mode of a frequency ω are given by {right arrow over (ε)}=U(z)(D_x(x){right arrow over (e)}_x+D_z(x){right arrow over (e)}^{−i(ωt−βz)}+c·c·and {right arrow over (H)}=U(z)D_y(x){right arrow over (e)}_ye^{−i(ωt−βz)}+c·c, respectively, where U(z) is the complex amplitude, D_i(x)=iK_i/ω∈∈₀{e^αx f or x<0; e^−αx f or x>0,} is the spatial distribution of the surface plasmon polariton mode for i=x,y,z and K_x=β and K_y=K_z=−iω∈∈₀. Here

$\alpha =\sqrt{{\beta }^2-ϵ\omega /c}\mathrm{and}\beta =\omega /c\sqrt{1-\frac{2}{Z_0\zeta }}$

with c is the speed of light, and Z₀ represents the free space impedance. The graphene conductivity ζ is given by equation (1) as:

$\zeta =\frac{i{q}^2}{4\pi \hslash }\ln \left(\frac{2{\mu }_c-W}{2{\mu }_c+W}\right)+\frac{i{q}^2{K}_{B}T}{\pi {\hslash }^{2}W}2\ln \left(e^{-{\mu }_{c/K_{B}T}}+1\right)$

where W=(ω/2π+iτ⁻¹) with τ being the scattering relaxation time, μ_c=hV_f√{square root over (πn₀)}√{square root over (1+2Cv_m/qπn₀)} represents the chemical potential of the graphene with q is the electron charge, n₀ is the electron density, and V_f denotes the Dirac fermions velocity.

In embodiments, an optical pump at ω₁ is provided besides the two upper and lower side optical signals at ω₂ and ω₃, respectively. In embodiments, these optical fields are launched to the graphene layer as surface plasmon polariton modes. In embodiments, the interaction between these fields is enabled, by setting the microwave frequency equal ω_m=ω₂−ω₁=ω₁=ω₃, and conducted through the electrical modulation of the graphene conductivity.

In embodiments, to model the interaction between the microwave and the optical fields, for weak driving microwave signal, we expand the chemical potential of the graphene u_c=u′_c+v_mu″_ce^−iωmt+c·c to the first order in term of v_m, where u′_c=hV_f√{square root over (πn₀)} and u″_c=hV_fc/q√{square root over (πn₀)}. This expansion is obtained under the assumption of Cv_m<<qπn₀. Then, the conductivity of the graphene in equation (1) is modified and can be written as ζ_c=ζ′_c+v_mζ′_ce^−iωm_t+c·c, where ζ′_c has the same value as given in equation (1) and ζ″_c=iq²[Wμ″_c/πh[(2μ′_c)²−W²h²]+K_BTμ″_c tan h(μ_c/2K_BT)/WK_BT].Therefore, the effective permittivity of the graphene plasmonic waveguide is given by equation (2) as follow:

∈_eff=∈′+v∈|e^−iωmt+c·c·

where ∈′=(cβ′/ω)², ∈″=2c²β′β″_j/ω² and β′=β. Here, β″=β′ζ″_c(1−(Z₀ζ′/2)²)⁻¹/ζ′_c. Consequently, a simplified description of the interaction can be obtained by substituting the effective permittivity ∈_eff, from equation (2), into the governing classical Hamiltonian by equation (3) as follows:

$H=\frac{1}{2}c{v}^2{A}_r+\frac{1}{2}{\int }_{x,y,z}\left({ϵ}_0{ϵ}_{\mathrm{eff}}{❘{\overrightarrow{\epsilon }}_t❘}^2+{\mu }_0{❘{\overrightarrow{\mathscr{H}}}_t❘}^2\right)\mathrm{dxdydz}$

where {right arrow over (ε)}_t=Σ_j=1³{right arrow over (ε)}_j is the total electric field with {right arrow over (ε)}_j=U_j(z)(D_xj(x){right arrow over (e)}_x+D_zj(x){right arrow over (e)}_z)e^{−i(ωjt−βjz)}+c·c (f or j=1,2,3) and is the total magnetic field.

In embodiments, the corresponding quantized Hamiltonian that describes the three optical modes of frequencies ω₁, ω₂, ω₃, and the microwave mode, is shown in equation (4) as follows:

$H=\hslash {\omega }_m{\hat{b}}^{†}\hat{b}+\hslash \sum _j{\omega }_j{\hat{a}}_i^{†}{\hat{a}}_j+\hslash g_2{\hat{a}}_2^{†}{\hat{a}}_1\hat{b}+\hslash g_2{\hat{a}}_1^{†}{\hat{a}}_2{b}^{†}+\hslash g_3{\hat{a}}_1^{†}{\hat{a}}_3{b}^{†}+\hslash g_3{\hat{a}}_3^{†}{\hat{a}}_1{b}^{†}$

where â_j=U√{square root over (ξε₀ε′_effV_L/hω_j)} is the annihilation operator of the j-th optical mode, {circumflex over (b)}=v√{square root over (CA_r/2hω_m)} is the annihilation operator of the microwave mode,

$V_L=A_r\int ({❘D_{\mathrm{xj}}❘}^2+❘D_{\mathrm{zj}}❘\mathrm{dx}\mathrm{and}{\xi }_j=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{A_r{u}_0\int {❘D_{\mathrm{yj}}❘}^2\mathrm{dx}}{2V_{L{ϵ}_0{ϵ}_{\mathrm{effj}}}}.$

Here, g_j describes the coupling strength of the microwave mode b with the j-th optical mode, given by equation (5) as follows:

$g_j=\frac{{ϵ}_j^{″}{l}_{1j}}{2\sqrt{{\xi }_1{\xi }_j}}\sqrt{\frac{2{\omega }_1{\omega }_j\hslash {\omega }_m}{{\mathrm{CA}}_r{ϵ}_1^{\prime }{ϵ}_j^{\prime }}}\sin \left({\theta }_j\right)e^{i\theta j}$

where

${\theta }_j={\left(-1\right)}^j\left({\beta }_1-{\left(-1\right)}^j{\beta }_j\right)L/2\mathrm{and}{l}_{\mathrm{mn}}=\frac{\int \left(D_{\mathrm{xm}}^{*}{D}_{\mathrm{xn}}+D_{\mathrm{zm}}^{*}{D}_{\mathrm{zn}}\right)\mathrm{dx}}{\sqrt{\int \left({❘D_{\mathrm{xm}}❘}^2+{❘D_{\mathrm{zm}}❘}^2\right)\mathrm{dx}\int \left({❘D_{\mathrm{xn}}❘}^2+{❘D_{\mathrm{zn}}❘}^2\right)\mathrm{dx}}}.$

In embodiments, the surface plasmon polariton mode at frequency ω₁ is strong and therefore can be treated classically. By considering a rotating frame at frequency ω_j (f or j=2,3,b), and introducing the corresponding noise terms, the Heisenberg-Langevin equations of the microwave and optical operators read as equations (6a), (6b), and (6c) as follows:

{dot over ({circumflex over (b)})}=γ _m {circumflex over (b)}−i ₂ â ₂ −i ₃ â ₃ ^†+√{square root over (2γ_m)}{circumflex over (b)}_in

{dot over (â)} ₂=−γ₂â₂−i₂{circumflex over (b)}+√{square root over (2γ₂)}â_in2

{dot over (â)} ₃=−γ₃â₃−i₃{circumflex over (b)}^†+√{square root over (2γ_3,)}â_in3

where γ_m represents the damping rate of the microwave mode, and γ_j is the decay rate of the j-th optical mode. Here ₂=ā₁g₂ and ₃=ā₁g₃ denote the effective coupling rates, where ā₁ being the classical amplitude. The operators â_ini and {circumflex over (b)}_in are the zero-average input noise operators for the j-th optical mode and the microwave mode, respectively, and can be characterized by â_inj^†(t), â_inj, (t′)=n_jδ_j,j, δ(t−t′) and {circumflex over (b)}_in^†, {circumflex over (b)}_in=n_bδ(t−t′).

In embodiments, the mean thermal populations of the j-th optical mode and the microwave mode are given by n_j=(e^hωj/κBT−1)⁻¹ and n_b=(e^hωj/κBT−1)⁻¹ respectively, where κ_B is the Boltzmann constant. The optical thermal photon number can be assumed n_j≈0 because of hω_j/K_bT>0, whereas the microwave thermal photon number n_m is significant and cannot be conceived identical to zero even at a very low temperature. In embodiments, the two field operators â₂ and â₃ are rewritten in term of the Bogolyubov operators Â₂=â₃ cos h r+â₂^† sin h r and Â₃=â₂ cos h r+â₃^† sin h r, where cos h r=₂/, sin h r=₃/ with =√{square root over (₂²−₃²)}. It then follows that the motion equations in equations (6a), (6b), and (6c) can be presented in term of the Bogolyubov modes, given by equations (7a), (7b), and (7c):

{dot over ({circumflex over (b)})}=−γ _m {circumflex over (b)}−i  ₃+√{square root over (2γ_m)}{circumflex over (b)}_in

{dot over (Â)} ₂=−γ₂Â₂+√{square root over (2γ₂)}Â_in,2

{dot over (Â)} ₃=−γ₃Â₃−i{circumflex over (b)}+√{square root over (2γ₃)}Â_in,3

where Â_in,2,=a_in,3 cos h r+â_in,2^† sin h r and Â_in,3=a_in,2 cos h r+â_in,3^† sin h r. It can be inferred from the above set of equations that the considered modes of the two optical fields are entangled.

Now we consider the problem of entanglement between the outgoing light fields of the optical modes â₂ and â₃. According to the input-output theory, the output fields operators â_out2 and â_out3 are related to the two cavity operators â₂ and â₃ by â_out2(t)=√{square root over (γ₂)}â₂(t)−â_in2(t) and â_out3(t)=√{square root over (γ₃)}γ₃(t)−â_in3(t), respectively. To study the stationary entanglement between the output optical modes specified by their central frequencies ω₂ and ω₃, we define temporal filtered modes of the output fields in term of the filter functions F_a2(t) and F_a3(t), as in the following equations 8(a) and 8(b):

_{out 2} (t)=∫_−∞^tF_a2(t−τ₂)â_out2(t′)dτ  (8a)

_{out 3} (t)=∫_−∞^tF_a3(t−τ₃)â_out3(t′)dτ  (8b)

where _out2(t) and _out3(t) are the filtered causal bosonic annihilation operators for the output optical modes â_out2 and â_out3, respectively,

$\begin{array}{cc}{ℱ}_i\left(t\right)=\sqrt{2/{\tau }_i}{e}^{-\left(\frac{1}{{\tau }_i}+i{\Omega }_i\right)t}\theta \left(t\right)& \left(i=2,3\right)\end{array}$

is the filter function multiplied by the Heaviside step function, Ω_i represents the central frequency, and 1/τ_i is the bandwidth of the i-th filter. It is convenient to rewrite equations 6(a), 6(b), and 6(c) in the following compact matrix form in equation (9) as follows:

$\frac{d}{\mathrm{dt}}R\left(t\right)=\mathrm{AR}\left(t\right)+D{R}_{in}\left(t\right)$

where R^T={â₂, â₂^†, â₃, â₃^†, {circumflex over (b)}, {circumflex over (b)}^†} is the column vector of the field operators, R_in^T={â_in,2, â_in,2^†, â_in,3, â_in,3^†, {circumflex over (b)}_in, {circumflex over (b)}_in^†} is the column vector of the corresponding noise operators, and the superscript T indicating transposition. In embodiments, A is the drift matrix with elements that can be easily obtained from the Langevin equations set in equations 6(a), 6(b), and 6(c), D is the coefficients matrix of the corresponding input noise operators. In embodiments, for a drift matrix A with eigenvalues in the left half of the complex plane, the interaction is stable and reaching the steady state. The solution can be obtained in the frequency domain, by applying Fourier transform to equations 8(a),8(b) and (9), given by equation (10) as follows:

R _out(ω)=[F(ω)M(ω)D−v(ω)] R_in

where R_out^T(ω)={_out2(ω), _out2(ω), _out3(ω), _out3(ω), {circumflex over (b)}(ω), {circumflex over (b)}^†(ω)}, R_in(ω) is the Fourier transform of R_in(t), M(ω)=[A−iω]⁻¹, F(ω)=diag{√{square root over (2γ₂)}₂(ω), √{square root over (2γ₂)}*(−ω), √{square root over (2γ₃)}₃(ω), √{square root over (2γ₃)}₃*(ω), 1,1} is the matrix of the filter functions, v=diag{₂(ω), *(−ω), ₃(ω), ₃*(−ω), 1,1}, and _i(ω) is the Fourier transform of _i(t).

Given that the operators of the quantum input noise are Gaussian, the steady-state of the system is completely described by first and second-order moments of the output field operators. In particular, it is convenient to introduce the quadratures _out2=(_out2+_out2)/√{square root over (2)}, _out2=(_out2−_out2)/√{square root over (2i)}, {circumflex over (X)}_Fout3=(_out3+_out3)/√{square root over (2)}_out3=(_out3−_out3)√{square root over (2i)}{circumflex over (X)}_b=({circumflex over (b)}+{circumflex over (b)}^†)/√{square root over (2)} and Ŷ_b=({circumflex over (b)}−{circumflex over (b)}^†)/√{square root over (2i)}.

In embodiments, the correlation matrix (CM)V of the system is defined as V_ij=u_iu_j+u_ju_i/2 where u^T={{circumflex over (X)}_F,out2, _out2, {circumflex over (X)}_F,out3, {circumflex over (X)}_F,out3, {circumflex over (X)}_b, Ŷ_b} is the vector of the quadrature's for the filtered output modes. From equation (10), the stationary solution for the covariance matrix V of the filter output modes can be obtained by equation (11) as follows:

V=∫_−∞^∞QT(ω)NT(−ω)^TQ^Tdw

where

$Q=\mathrm{diag}\left\{Q_2,Q_3,Q_b\right\},Q_j=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\begin{array}{cc}1& 1\\ i& -i\end{array}\right),T\left(\omega \right)=F\left(\omega \right)M\left(\omega \right)D-v\left(\omega \right)\mathrm{and}N=\mathrm{diag}\left\{N_2,N_3,N_b\right\}$

is the diffusion matrix. Here,

$N_b=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0& n_m+1\\ n_m& 0\end{array}\right),$

and N_j stands for 2×2 matrix of {N_j}₁₂=1 (f or j=2,3) while all other elements are being zero.

In embodiments, the generation of stationary output entanglement between the two optical modes _out2 and _out3 is considered. In embodiments, the covariance matrix can be introduced as in the following block form, in equation (12) as follows:

$v=\left(\begin{array}{cc}{v}_{a2}& v_{a23}\\ v_{a23}^T& v_{a3}\end{array}\right)$

with v_a2 and v_a3 are 2×2 covariance matrices for the two ouput optical â_out2 and â_out3 modes, respectively. The correlation between â_out2 and â_out3 can be described by the 2×2 v_a23 matrix.

The stationary entanglement between Alice's (mode â_out2) and Bob's (mode â_out3) can be measured by the negativity (i.e., quantified by the logarithmic negativity in equation (13) as follows:

E_N=max [0, −In2Θ⁻]

where η⁻=2^−1/2 √{square root over (Σ²(v)=√{square root over (Σ²(v)−4det(v))})} is the smallest symplectic eigenvalue of the partially transposed 4×4 covariance matrix (CM)v with Σ(v)=det(V_a2)+det(V_a3)−2 det(V_a23) . A non-zero value of E_N quantifies the degree of entanglement between Alice's and Bob's modes.

In embodiments, having a zero-bandwidth means that 1/τ_j→0. Therefore, the two-mode entanglement becomes independent of Ω_j.

FIGS. 2A and 2B show example electronically generated graphs. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the Logarithmic negativity E_N is plotted to quantify the entanglement between the output modes against the effective coupling ₂ and the microwave thermal photon n_m. In FIG. 2A, E_N is plotted as a function of the parameter ₂/ω_m while the coupling ₃ is fixed at ₃=0.2ω_m. In embodiments, the maximum value of entanglement between the two output optical modes is achieved when the two couplings fulfill the condition ₂≈₃. This can be explained by noting that the squeezing parameter r in equation (7), which is defined as the ratio of ₃ and ₂ couplings, is approaching one (r=₃/₂≈1) at this condition. In FIG. 2(b), we also study the robustness of the steady state entanglement between the two optical modes â_ont,2 and â_out,3 as function of the microwave thermal population n_m at the optimal condition of ₂≈₃.

In embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2B, the proposed entanglement is robust against the microwave thermal population. In embodiments, the condition ₂≈₃ can be obtained by controlling the graphene properties including the doping concentration and the layer dimensions. Thus, the two optical output modes possess Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations which is optimized for r≈1 and can be immediately exploited for quantum teleportation.

In embodiments, the EPR-like continuous variable entanglement generated between the two output fields can be characterized in term of its effectiveness as a quantum channel for quantum teleportation. In embodiments, the performance of the quantum channel can be realized in term of the teleportation fidelity of an unknown coherent state between two distant nodes labeled as Alice and Bob, as shown in FIG. 3. The two-output optical fields â_out2 and â_out3 possess EPR correlations and are propagating to Alice and Bob, respectively. Then, Alice combines an unknown input coherent state |α_in to be teleported with the part of the entangled state in her hand on a beam splitter and measures the two quadrature's. 1/√{square root over (2)}({circumflex over (X)}_in−{circumflex over (X)}_out,2) and 1/i√{square root over (2)}(Ŷ_in+Ŷ_out3,), where α_in=({circumflex over (X)}_in+iŶ_in)/√{square root over (2)}. The measurement outcomes are sent to Bob. Then Bob displaces his mode according to the measurement outcome. In embodiments, the standard two-mode teleportation between Alice and Bob, the teleportation fidelity is given by:

$$\begin{gathered} F=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\det \Gamma }},\text{ \\ Γ=2⁢Vi⁢n+Z\_⁢Va⁢2⁢Z\_+Va⁢3-Z\_⁢Va⁢2⁢3-Va⁢2⁢3T⁢Z\_} \end{gathered}$$

where

$Z=\mathrm{diag}\left(1,-1\right)\mathrm{and}{V}_{\mathrm{in}}=\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{diag}\left(1,1\right)$

is the covariance matrix of the input coherent state. Moreover, the upper bound set by the entanglement on the fidelity of the CV teleportation, and optimized over the local operations, is given by equation (14) as follows:

$F^{\mathrm{opt}}=\frac{1}{1+{\exp }^{-E_N}}$

where E_N is the logarithmic negativity of the two-mode entanglement shared between Alice and Bob.

In embodiments, the corresponding quantum teleportation of an unknown optical coherent state using the obtained squeezed-state entanglement is shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B. As shown in FIG. 4A, the teleportation fidelity is plotted for a coherent state as function of the effective coupling ₂, considering the microwave thermal population n_m=10 and having the coupling ₃≈0.2ω_m. In embodiments, it can be seen from FIG. 4A that the maximum value of the fidelity (blue curve) is achieved when ₂≈₃≈0.2ω_m. In embodiments, this is the same condition obtained for the optimal entanglement shown in FIG. 2A.

In embodiments, the maximum value of the fidelity adheres the upper bound, defined in equation (14). As shown in FIG. 4B the teleportation fidelity is analyzed for an unknown coherent state as function of the microwave thermal excitation n_m while considering ₃≈₂≈0.2ω_m. In embodiments, it is found that the proposed teleportation is very robust against the microwave thermal population. For example, the teleportation fidelity is above ⅔ even for n_m=1000. This is a realization of quantum teleportation of an unknown coherent state |α> entering the device as Alice wants to teleport to Bob. In embodiments, to achieve secure quantum teleportation of coherent state, a fidelity greater than a threshold fidelity F_thr=⅔ is required, which is impossible to reach without the use of entanglement.
