Experimental Realization of Optical Cat States with Single-Photon-Added Squeezed States
In this talk, I will first illustrate the implementation of our machine-learning (ML) enhanced quantum state tomography (QST) for continuous variables, through the experimentally measured data generated from squeezed vacuum states [1], as an example of quantum machine learning [2, 3]. Then, this ML-enhanced QST is also applied to the heralding single photon source, which has the second order correlation function, g2 < 0.04 [4]. Instead of ‘‘Schrodinger kitten’’ state generated by subtracting one photon from a squeezed vacuum beam, we report the first experimental realization of optical cat states by adding one photon to a squeezed vacuum state [5]. A variety of unique applications in linear optical quantum computing and quantum metrology will also be addressed [6].
