Characterization and optimized engineering of bosonic quantum interfaces under single-mode operational constraints
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Controlling the quantum interface between two bosonic modes is essential in countless implementations of quantum information processing. However, full controllability is rarely achieved in most platforms due to specific physical limitations. In this work, we completely characterize the linear two-mode interfaces under the most pessimistic restriction that only single-mode operation is available. When arbitrary Gaussian single-mode operations can be applied to both modes, we find that every interface can be characterized by an invariant transmission strength. Moreover, in the practical situation that squeezing is restricted in one of the modes, we discover two additional quantities, irreducible squeezing and irreducible shearing, that are invariant under the allowable controls. By using this characterization, we develop systematic strategies to engineer an arbitrary linear interface through cascading multiple fixed component interfaces. Without squeezing restriction, our protocol is optimal and requires at most three component interfaces. Under the squeezing constraint, our protocol can be extended to engineer also the additional invariants by using no more than two more rounds of cascade. We also propose the remote squeezing scheme to tackle the squeezing restriction through interfacing with an active auxiliary mode. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
