We propose a method for preparing mixed quantum states of arbitrary dimension $D$ ($Dgeq2$) which are codified in the discretized transverse momentum and position of single photons, once they are sent through an aperture with $D$ slits. Following our previous technique we use a programmable single phase-only spatial light modulator (SLM) to define the aperture and set the complex transmission amplitude of each slit, allowing the independent control of the complex coefficients that define the quantum state. Since these SLMs give us the possibility to dynamically varying the complex coefficients of the state during the measurement time, we can generate not only pure states but also quantum states compatible with a mixture of pure quantum states. Therefore, by using these apertures varying on time according to a probability distribution, we have experimentally obtained $D$-dimensional quantum states with purities that depend on the parameters of the distribution through a clear analytical expression. This fact allows us to easily customize the states to be generated. Moreover, the method offer the possibility of working without changing the optical setup between pure and mixed states, or when the dimensionality of the states is increased. The obtained results show a quite good performance of our method at least up to dimension $D=11$, being the fidelity of the prepared states $F > 0.98$ in every case.

As the generation of squeezed states of light has become a standard technique in laboratories, attention is increasingly directed towards adapting the optical parameters of squeezed beams to the specific requirements of individual applications. It is known that imaging, metrology, and quantum information may benefit from using squeezed light with a tailored transverse spatial mode. However, experiments have so far been limited to generating only a few squeezed spatial modes within a given setup. Here, we present the generation of single-mode squeezing in Laguerre-Gauss and Bessel-Gauss modes, as well as an arbitrary intensity pattern, all from a single setup using a spatial light modulator (SLM). The degree of squeezing obtained is limited mainly by the initial squeezing and diffractive losses introduced by the SLM, while no excess noise from the SLM is detectable at the measured sideband. The experiment illustrates the single-mode concept in quantum optics and demonstrates the viability of current SLMs as flexible tools for the spatial reshaping of squeezed light.
We propose a unified and deterministic scheme to generate arbitrary single-photon multimode $W$ states in circuit QED. A three-level system (qutrit) is driven by a pump-laser pulse and coupled to $N$ spatially separated resonators. The coupling strength for each spatial mode $g_i$ totally decide the generated single-photon N-mode $W$ state $vert W_N rangle=frac{1}{A}sum_{i=1}^N g_i|0_1 0_2 cdots 1_i 0_{i+1}cdots 0_Nrangle$, so arbitrary $vert W_N rangle$ can be generated just by tuning $g_i$. We could not only generate $W$ states inside resonators but also release them into transmission lines on demand. The time and fidelity for generating (or emitting) $vert W_N rangle$ can both be the same for arbitrary $N$. Remarkably, $vert W_Nrangle$ can be emitted with probability reaching $98.9%$ in $20-50$ ns depending on parameters, comparable to the recently reported fastest two-qubit gate ($30-45$ ns). Finally, the time evolution process is convenient to control since only the pump pulse is time-dependent.
Incoherent scattering of photons off two remote atoms with a Lambda-level structure is used as a basic Young-type interferometer to herald long-lived entanglement of an arbitrary degree. The degree of entanglement, as measured by the concurrence, is found to be tunable by two easily accessible experimental parameters. Fixing one of them to certain values unveils an analog to the Malus law. An estimate of the variation in the degree of entanglement due to uncertainties in an experimental realization is given.
Developing quantum computers for real-world applications requires understanding theoretical sources of quantum advantage and applying those insights to design more powerful machines. Toward that end, we introduce a high-fidelity gate set inspired by a proposal for near-term quantum advantage in optimization problems. By orchestrating coherent, multi-level control over three transmon qutrits, we synthesize a family of deterministic, continuous-angle quantum phase gates acting in the natural three-qubit computational basis (CCPHASE$(theta)$). We estimate the process fidelity for this scheme via Cycle Benchmarking of $mathcal{F}=87.1pm0.8%$, higher than reference two-qubit gate decompositions. CCPHASE$(theta)$ is anticipated to have broad experimental implications, and we report a blueprint demonstration for solving a class of binary constraint satisfaction problems whose construction is consistent with a path to quantum advantage.
We introduce a scheme to perform universal quantum computation in quantum cellular automata (QCA) fashion in arbitrary subsystem dimension (not necessarily finite). The scheme is developed over a one spatial dimension $N$-element array, requiring only mirror symmetric logical encoding and global pulses. A mechanism using ancillary degrees of freedom for subsystem specific measurement is also presented.
