Quantum entanglement is a fundamental resource for secure information processing and communications, where hyperentanglement or high-dimensional entanglement has been separately proposed towards high data capacity and error resilience. The continuous-variable nature of the energy-time entanglement makes it an ideal candidate for efficient high-dimensional coding with minimal limitations. Here we demonstrate the first simultaneous high-dimensional hyperentanglement using a biphoton frequency comb to harness the full potential in both energy and time domain. The long-postulated Hong-Ou-Mandel quantum revival is exhibited, with up to 19 time-bins, 96.5% visibilities. We further witness the high-dimensional energy-time entanglement through Franson revivals, which is observed periodically at integer time-bins, with 97.8% visibility. This qudit state is observed to simultaneously violate the generalized Bell inequality by up to 10.95 deviations while observing recurrent Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt S-parameters up to 2.76. Our biphoton frequency comb provides a platform in photon-efficient quantum communications towards the ultimate channel capacity through energy-time-polarization high-dimensional encoding.

Biphoton frequency comb (BFC) having quantum entanglement in a high dimensional system is widely applicable to quantum communication and quantum computation. However, a dozen mode realized so far has not been enough to realize its full potential. Her e, we show a massive-mode BFC with polarization entanglement experimentally realized by a nonlinear optical waveguide resonator. The generated BFC at least 1400 modes is broad and dense, that strongly enhances the advantage of BFC. We also demonstrated a versatile property of the present BFC, which enables us to prepare both the frequency-multiplexed entangled photon pair and the high dimensional hyperentangled one. The versatile, stable and highly efficient system with the massive-mode BFC will open up a large-scale photonic quantum information platform.
Robust control and stabilization of optical frequency combs enables an extraordinary range of scientific and technological applications, including frequency metrology at extreme levels of precision, novel spectroscopy of quantum gases and of molecule s from visible wavelengths to the far infrared, searches for exoplanets, and photonic waveform synthesis. Here we report on the stabilization of a microresonator-based optical comb (microcomb) by way of mechanical actuation. This represents an important step in the development of microcomb technology, which offers a pathway toward fully-integrated comb systems. Residual fluctuations of our 32.6 GHz microcomb line spacing reach a record stability level of $5times10^{-15}$ for 1 s averaging, thereby highlighting the potential of microcombs to support modern optical frequency standards. Furthermore, measurements of the line spacing with respect to an independent frequency reference reveal the effective stabilization of different spectral slices of the comb with a $<$0.5 mHz variation among 140 comb lines spanning 4.5 THz. These experiments were performed with newly-developed microrod resonators, which were fabricated using a CO$_2$-laser-machining technique.

Qubit entanglement is a valuable resource for quantum information processing, where increasing its dimensionality provides a pathway towards higher capacity and increased error resilience in quantum communications, cluster computation and quantum pha se measurements. Time-frequency entanglement, a continuous variable subspace, enables the high-dimensional encoding of multiple qubits per particle, bounded only by the spectral correlation bandwidth and readout timing jitter. Extending from a dimensionality of two in discrete polarization variables, here we demonstrate a hyperentangled, mode-locked, biphoton frequency comb with a time-frequency Hilbert space dimensionality of at least 648. Hong-Ou-Mandel revivals of the biphoton qubits are observed with 61 time-bin recurrences, biphoton joint spectral correlations over 19 frequency-bins, and an overall interference visibility of the high-dimensional qubits up to 98.4%. We describe the Schmidt mode decomposition analysis of the high-dimensional entanglement, in both time- and frequency-bin subspaces, not only verifying the entanglement dimensionality but also examining the time-frequency scaling. We observe a Bell violation of the high-dimensional qubits up to 18.5 standard deviations, with recurrent correlation-fringe Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt S-parameter up to 2.771. Our biphoton frequency comb serves as a platform for dense quantum information processing and high-dimensional quantum key distribution.
High speed optical telecommunication is enabled by wavelength division multiplexing, whereby hundreds of individually stabilized lasers encode the information within a single mode optical fiber. In the seek for larger bandwidth the optical power sent into the fiber is limited by optical non-linearities within the fiber and energy consumption of the light sources starts to become a significant cost factor. Optical frequency combs have been suggested to remedy this problem by generating multiple laser lines within a monolithic device, their current stability and coherence lets them operate only in small parameter ranges. Here we show that a broadband frequency comb realized through the electro-optic effect within a high quality whispering gallery mode resonator can operate at low microwave and optical powers. Contrary to the usual third order Kerr non-linear optical frequency combs we rely on the second order non-linear effect which is much more efficient. Our result uses a fixed microwave signal which is mixed with an optical pump signal to generate a coherent frequency comb with a precisely determined carrier separation. The resonant enhancement enables us to operate with microwave powers three order magnitude smaller than in commercially available devices. We can expect the implementation into the next generation long distance telecommunication which relies on coherent emission and detection schemes to allow for operation with higher optical powers and at reduced cost.
Rapid and large scanning of a dissipative Kerr-microresonator soliton comb with the characterization of all comb modes along with the separation of the comb modes is imperative for the emerging applications of the frequency-scanned soliton combs. How ever, the scan speed is limited by the gain of feedback systems and the measurement of the frequency shift of all comb modes has not been demonstrated. To overcome the limitation of the feedback, we incorporate the feedback with the feedforward. With the additional gain of > 40 dB by a feedforward signal, a dissipative Kerr-microresonator soliton comb is scanned by 70 GHz in 500 $mu$s, 50 GHz in 125 $mu$s, and 25 GHz in 50 $mu$s (= 500 THz/s). Furthermore, we propose and demonstrate a method to measure the frequency shift of all comb modes, in which an imbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer with two outputs with different wavelengths is used. Because of the two degrees of freedom of optical frequency combs, the measurement at the two different wavelengths enables the estimation of the frequency shift of all comb modes.
