Abstract
We are working on hybrid quantum information processing, which combines two methodologies of quantum information processing – qubits and continuous variables (CVs). More precisely, we encode quantum information onto single-photon-based qubits and utilize CV quantum processors to realize universal optical quantum computing. The advantage of this methodology is that we can have both high-fidelity nature of qubits and determinisity of CV quantum processors. In other words, we can enjoy both particle- and wave-nature of quantum mechanics. Towards this goal we performed various things, which include quantum error correction with nine-party CV entanglement [1], teleportation of Schrödinger’s cat state [2], adaptive homodyne measurement with phase-squeezed states [3], deterministic teleportation of time-bin qubits [4], creation of ultra-large-scale CV cluster states [5], and generation and measurement of CV entanglement on a chip [6].
