Nondestructive detection of photonic qubits — •Pau Farrera, Dominik Niemietz, Stefan Langenfeld, and Gerhard Rempe — Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Garching, Germany

Qubits encoded in single photons are very useful to distribute quantum information over remote locations, but at the same time are also very fragile objects. The loss of photonic qubits (through absorption, diffraction or scattering) is actually the main limitation in the maximum reachable quantum communication distance. In this context, the nondestructive detection of photonic qubits is a great scientific challenge that can help tracking the qubit transmission and mitigate the loss problem. We recently implemented such a detector [1] with a single atom coupled to two crossed fiber-based optical resonators, one for qubit-insensitive atom-photon coupling and the other for atomic-state detection. We achieve a nondestructive detection efficiency of 79(3)% conditioned on the survival of the photonic qubit, a photon survival probability of 31(1)%, and we preserve the qubit information with a fidelity of 96.2(0.3)%. To illustrate the potential of our detector we show that it can provide an advantage for long-distance entanglement and quantum-state distribution, resource optimization via qubit amplification, and detection-loophole-free Bell tests.
