Computing with Mesoscopic Photonic and Atomic States
Annotation in Czech
The present project aims at carrying out exploratory research on mesoscopic continuous-variable (CV) quantum information systems, with the ambitious ultimate objective of designing the first small-scale quantum processor using this CV toolbox. In an interplay between theory and experimental research, the consortium will investigate the hitherto unexplored potential of CV quantum computing and will address all necessary steps on the way to mesoscopic CV processors. This includes the engineering of non-Gaussian operations on photonic and atomic states exploiting the measurement-induced or actual nonlinearities between light and atoms, CV quantum computing with Schrodinger cat-like states or cluster states, CV entanglement distillation, error correction,and quantum repeaters. It is anticipated that the present project will have a strong impact on the future of ICT-related technologies and further strengthen the pan-European cooperation in a research area where Europe has started to establish itself at
