Descripción del proyecto
Tecnologías cuánticas escalables con variables continuas
Los sistemas cuánticos con variables continuas emplean observables físicos cuyos valores numéricos pertenecen a intervalos continuos. La reciente generación y manipulación de estados de clúster de variable continua, que comprenden miles de modos entrelazados, allana el camino para sistemas escalables de red y computación cuántica con variables continuas. El objetivo del proyecto CLUSTEC, financiado con fondos europeos, es aprovechar todo el potencial de la tecnología de estados de clúster de variable continua mediante avances conceptuales y técnicos en tres direcciones diferentes. En primer lugar, los investigadores desarrollarán plataformas ópticas escalables para estados de clúster de variable continua masivos mediante el empleo de herramientas topológicas avanzadas. Después diseñarán nuevos protocolos de red y algoritmos computacionales cuánticos de variable continua inducidos por mediciones. Por último, los investigadores crearán nuevos protocolos y tecnologías de variable continua de corrección de errores cuánticos que deberían facilitar el desarrollo de tecnologías cuánticas prácticas tolerantes a fallos.
Objetivo
Continuous variable (CV) quantum technologies have in recent years made significant impact on the fields of quantum communication, sensing, and computing, as signified by the detection of gravitational waves and demonstration of quantum advantage via Gaussian boson sampling. Moreover, the recent generation and manipulation of CV cluster states, comprising thousands of entangled modes, have direct implications for future developments of scalable CV quantum computing and networking systems. In CLUSTEC, we will pursue an interdisciplinary approach to unfold the full potential of CV cluster state technology by making conceptual and technical breakthroughs along three different directions. First, we will develop two complementary optical platforms for scalable generation of massive CV cluster states of different entanglement topologies and generation of hardware efficient error-correcting codes. The two systems will be based on a well-established low-loss fiber platform and the emerging, highly promising integrated photonics platform of thin-film Lithium Niobate. Second, we will develop and test radically new measurement-induced CV quantum computational and networking protocols and algorithms with certified quantum advantage and real-life applications. Third, we will explore and develop, theoretically and experimentally, novel quantum error-correcting CV protocols and technologies that facilitate the realization of practical fault-tolerant quantum technologies for quantum computing, communication and sensing with true scalability potential. With these activities, CLUSTEC will create a new path towards scalable quantum technologies and accelerate the development of practical quantum technologies with potentially radical impact on European society and economy. The results will pave the way for industrial uptake and exploitation in the near and long term, and in turn support the development of European leadership and autonomy in emerging strategic technologies.
