Squeezing measurement with spectrally broadened in microstructured fiber local oscillator
Abstract
Recently, continuous variables (CV) quantum computing, i. e. computing employing squeezed states, has attracted significant attention, as it enables to increase the dimensionality of the system. In CV protocols, homodyne detection plays a key role in the realization of the required gates and operations. Multimode squeezed light generated via parametric down-conversion (PDC) benefits from the broadband bandwidth, which encompasses multiple frequency modes. However, its broadband structure simultaneously requires the precise matching of the local oscillator (LO) with the squeezed light modes for their correct homodyne detection and processing. Achieving such matching is usually a challenging task, since the spectral bandwidth of the local oscillator is typically significantly narrower than the bandwidth of the squeezed-light modes. In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a technique for expanding the bandwidth of the LO by passing it through the microstructured fiber. We validate the proposed concept by measuring squeezing in the modes of multimode squeezed light generated in type-0 and type-II PDC. We show that the broadened LO starts to spectrally match the modes generated via type-II PDC. The presented technique might be beneficial for implementing various CV systems and protocols.
