Deterministic multi-mode nonlinear coupling for quantum circuits

Abstract

We present a general technique for deterministic implementation of a multi-mode nonlinear coupling between several propagating microwave or optical modes in quantum circuits. The measurement induced technique combines specifically prepared resource states together with feasible feed-forward operations. We explore several ways of generating the suitable resource states and discuss their difference on an illustrative example of cubic coupling between two modes. We also show that the required entangled states with requisite nonlinear properties can be already generated in the present day experiments.
