Broadband continuous variable entanglement generation using Kerr-free Josephson metamaterial

Quantum Physics 2022-03-22 v2

Abstract

Entangled microwave photons form a fundamental resource for quantum information processing and sensing with continuous variables. We use a low-loss Josephson metamaterial comprising superconducting, non-linear, asymmetric inductive elements to generate frequency-entangled photons from vacuum fluctuations at a rate of 2 giga entangled bits per second spanning over 4 GHz bandwidth. The device is operated as a traveling wave parametric amplifier under Kerr-relieving biasing conditions. Furthermore, we realize the first successfully demonstration of single-mode squeezing in such devices -- 3.1±0.73.1\pm0.7\,dB below the zero-point level at half of modulation frequency.
