Orbital Angular Momentum Multiplexed Deterministic All-Optical Quantum Erasure-Correcting Code

Quantum erasure-correcting code, which corrects the erasure in the transmission of quantum information, is an important protocol in quantum information. In the continuous variable regime, the feed-forward technique is needed for realizing quantum erasure-correcting code. This feed-forward technique involves optic-electro and electro-optic conversions, limiting the bandwidth of quantum erasure-correcting code. Moreover, in the previous continuous variable quantum erasure-correcting code, only two modes are protected against erasure, limiting the applications of quantum erasure-correcting code in high-capacity quantum information processing. In this Letter, by utilizing the orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexed entanglement in the encoding part and replacing the feed-forward technique with OAM mode-matched phase-sensitive amplifier in the decoding part, we experimentally demonstrate a scheme of OAM multiplexed deterministic all-optical quantum erasure-correcting code. We experimentally demonstrate that four orthogonal modes can be simultaneously protected against one arbitrary erasure. Our results provide an all-optical platform to implement quantum erasure-correcting code and may have potential applications in implementing all-optical fault-tolerant quantum information processing.
