Abstract:

Recently, very large entangled states of light have been generated using multiplexing techniques. I will explore some experiments that have successfully shown multiplexing to be a viable approach in increasing the scalability of quantum systems. Specifically, in the time domain we have entangled together more than 20,000 quantum systems, which is the largest entangled state created to date. Also, there are some nice consequences when dealing with spatial domain multiplexing that lead to the ability to be able to program linear optics networks, which I will discuss. I will also explore how these large entangled states may be used for measurement-based quantum computing.
