| A continuous-variable approach to process tomographyWe propose and demonstrate experimentally a technique for estimating quantum-optical processes in the continuous-variable domain. The process data is determined by applying the process to a set of coherent states and measuring the output. The process output for an arbitrary input state can then be obtained from its Glauber-Sudarshan expansion. Although such expansion is generally singular, it can be arbitrarily well approximated with a regular function. University of Calgary | Presentation | 2008-08-26 | M. Lobino, E. Figueroa, D.

| Coherent state quantum process tomographyAny quantum information device or circuit can be described as a quantum black box that maps input density matrices into the corresponding outputs. In this context, it is important to understand how the black box transforms a generic quantum state. This task requires a full characterization of the quantum process associated with the device by means of quantum process tomography (QPT). \r\nRecently, we developed a protocol, called coherent state QPT (csQPT), which recovers the process superoperator tensor by measuring, through homodyne tomography, the process outputs from a set of input coherent states. Hence, using a common laser source, at different intensities, we are able to reconstruct any quantum-optical process. \r\nOur technique is based on the fact that any input state density matrix can be decomposed in a superposition of coherent state density matrices using an approximated Glauber Sudarshan P-function. Then using the linearity of the process in the density matrix space, we can recover the effect of the process on the input state from the coherent state mapping. \r\nWe applied our procedure to a quantum memory for light based on electromagnetically-induced transparency in warm Rubidium atoms and recovered the superoperator tensor in Fock basis. From this analysis we were able to predict how an arbitrary quantum state of light will be affected by storage in a memory apparatus. We tested our characterization by experimentally storing and retrieving squeezed vacuum under different experimental conditions, and comparing the results with the csQPT prediction. We observed a quantum mechanical fidelity greater then 99%.\r\nThe process tomography also offers important insights into the detrimental effects that affect the storage performance and provide important feedback for the device optimization. Furthermore, we can check the memory performance against any theoretical benchmark.\r\n University of Calgary | Presentation | 2009-05-23 | M. Lobino |

| Electromagnetically-induced transparency for quantum optical information processingWe report storage and retrieval of pulsed squeezed vacuum in rubidium vapor using electromagnetically-induced transparency. For the first time, complete tomographic characterization of the quantum state after the storage procedure has been performed, making our setup a universal test bed for a generic quantum optical memory system.

| Quantum memory for squeezed lightWe study electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) as a tool for slowing down and storing squeezed light. The experiments are conducted in rubidium vapour, and the squeezed vacuum state is prepared by means of an optical parametric amplifier. Full homodyne tomography of the squeezed vacuum pulse before and after the interaction with the EIT cell provides insight into the phenomena that degrade the storage fidelity.
