Abstract
The development of Wavelength Division
Multiplexing has been at the origin of a revolution in communication
that has even changed our everyday life. It is natural to investigate
now whether this way of encoding and processing classical information
can be extended to the domain of quantum information processing. We show
that parametrically generated optical frequency combs, spanning over
more than one million wavelength components, exhibit highly multipartite
entanglement between the quantum fluctuations of its frequency modes.
We show how to produce and characterize such highly multimode quantum
states of light and discuss the ways to make use of them in Measurement
Based Quantum Computing. We finally show how to produce, by
mode-selective photon subtraction, the pure states exhibiting
non-Gaussian statistics that are needed to provide a quantum advantage
in Quantum Computing tasks.
