Loss-tolerant cross-Kerr enhancement via modulated squeezing
None:
We develop squeezing protocols to enhance cross-Kerr interactions. We show that through alternating between squeezing along different quadratures of a single photonic mode, the cross-Kerr interaction strength can be generically amplified. As an application of the squeezing protocols, we discuss speeding up the deterministic implementation of controlled phase gates in photonic quantum computing architectures. We develop bounds that characterize how fast and strong single-mode squeezing has to be applied to achieve a desired gate error and show that the protocols can overcome photon losses. Finally, we discuss experimental realizations of the squeezing strategies in optical fibers and nanophotonic waveguides.

Attenuation
When constant series resistance and shunt conductance are present, voltage and current equations are modified. The propagation constant indicates that voltage and current waves consist of both forward and backward traveling components. These waves attenuate as they propagate, with the attenuation factor related to the resistance and conductance. In a...
