    Abstract: Circuits and methods that implement multiplexing for photons propagating in waveguides are disclosed, in which an input photon received on a selected one of a set of input waveguides can be selectably routed to one of a set of output waveguides. The output waveguide can be selected on a rotating or cyclic basis, in a fixed order, and the input waveguide can be selected based at least in part on which one(s) of a set of input waveguides is (are) currently propagating a photon.

    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate generally to photonic integrated circuits working at cryogenic temperatures. In one example, a device includes a substrate, a dielectric layer on the substrate, an optical waveguide in the dielectric layer, a superconducting circuit in the dielectric layer and coupled to the optical waveguide, and a micro-channel in the dielectric layer and adjacent to the superconducting circuit. The micro-channel is aligned with the superconducting circuit and is configured to conduct a liquid at a cryogenic temperature to locally cool the superconducting circuit.

    Abstract: A quantum computing system and methods for performing fusion based quantum computing on encoded qubits. A fusion controller sequentially performs a series of fusion measurements on respective photonic quantum modes of first and second encoded qubits to obtain a respective series of classical measurement results. For respective fusion measurements of the series of fusion measurements, a basis for performing the respective fusion measurement is selected based on classical measurement results of previous fusion measurements. An encoded fusion measurement result is determined based on the classical measurement results, and the encoded fusion measurement result is stored in a memory medium.

    Abstract: A method of resolving a number of photons received by a photon detector includes optically coupling a waveguide to a superconducting wire having alternating narrow and wide portions; electrically coupling the superconducting wire to a current source; and electrically coupling an electrical contact in parallel with the superconducting wire. The electrical contact has a resistance less than a resistance of the superconducting wire while at least one narrow portion of the superconducting wire is in a non-superconducting state. The method includes providing to the superconducting wire, from the current source, a current configured to maintain the superconducting wire in a superconducting state in the absence of incident photons; receiving one or more photons via the waveguide; measuring an electrical property of the superconducting wire, proportional to a number of photons incident on the superconducting wire; and determining the number of received photons based on the electrical property.

    Abstract: A multirail-encoded qubit can be implemented using a quantum system having a state space that includes a number M of distinct modes, where M is an integer greater than 2. The M modes are logically partitioned into two disjoint subsets (or “bands”), with each mode assigned to exactly one of the bands. The multirail encoding is defined such that a state in which any one of the modes in the first band is occupied and all modes in the second band are unoccupied maps to a logical 0 state of the qubit, and a state in which any one of the modes in the second band is occupied and all modes of the first band are unoccupied maps to a logical 1 state. Systems and methods for generating, measuring, and operating on multirail-encoded qubits are disclosed.

    Abstract: Circuits for generating a pair of qudits in a maximally entangled state and methods of operating such circuits are disclosed. The circuits can be photonic circuits that use a combination of beam splitters, phase shifters, and detectors to produce an entangled pair of d-dimensional qudits from an input set of 4d photons. In a case where d equals 2, a pair of qubits in a Bell state can be generated.
