Qubit-Programmable Operations on Quantum Light Fields [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2015
AbstractEngineering quantum operations is a crucial capability needed for developing quantum technologies and designing new fundamental physics tests. Here we propose a scheme for realising a controlled operation acting on a travelling continuous-variable quantum field, whose functioning is determined by a discrete input qubit.
