This thesis focuses on two key tasks essential for Distributed QC. The first task involves encoding quantum information from static qubits onto traveling photonic modes. To address the issue of channel loss, we implement dual-rail photonic mode generation, which can serve as an error-detection protocols, enhancing the reliability of quantum information transfer. The second task explores the generation of entangled photonic modes from a continuously and coherently driven static qubit, which holds the potential for distributing entanglement to remote processors or quantum memories.
This thesis is based on superconducting circuits operating in the microwave regime, with potential extensions to other quantum platforms. By leveraging the proposed building blocks, we can implement a distributed QC system in the future, enabling a range of applications. By employing circuit cutting techniques, complex quantum algorithm can be divided into smaller, manageable segments that are efficiently processed on the distributed system. Additionally, incorporating microwave-to-optical transducers enhances the system’s ability to transfer quantum information over long distances. This enables applications such as quantum key distribution and quantum networking, while also advancing the development of practical and scalable quantum technologies.
