On September 14, 2015 at 09:50:45 UTC the two detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory simultaneously observed a transient gravitational-wave signal. The signal sweeps upwards in frequency from 35 to 250 Hz with a peak gravitational-wave strain of 1.0×10(-21). It matches the waveform predicted by general relativity for the inspiral and merger of a pair of black holes and the ringdown of the resulting single black hole. The signal was observed with a matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 24 and a false alarm rate estimated to be less than 1 event per 203,000 years, equivalent to a significance greater than 5.1σ. The source lies at a luminosity distance of 410(-180)(+160)  Mpc corresponding to a redshift z=0.09(-0.04)(+0.03). In the source frame, the initial black hole masses are 36(-4)(+5)M⊙ and 29(-4)(+4)M⊙, and the final black hole mass is 62(-4)(+4)M⊙, with 3.0(-0.5)(+0.5)M⊙c(2) radiated in gravitational waves. All uncertainties define 90% credible intervals. These observations demonstrate the existence of binary stellar-mass black hole systems. This is the first direct detection of gravitational waves and the first observation of a binary black hole merger.

Quantum Information with Continuous Variables

日本物理学会誌及びJournal of the Physical Society of Japanの月刊について

An open quantum system loses its ‘quantumness’ when information about the state leaks into its surroundings. Researchers now control this so-called decoherence in a single photon. By rotating an optical filter, the information flow between the photon and its environment can be tuned. This concept could be harnessed for future quantum technologies.

Experimental control of the transition from Markovian to non-Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems

Generation of multipartite entanglement between quantum states is crucial for developing quantum computation systems, although it has proven harder to achieve for photons than ions. Here, an eight-photon entangled state based on four independent photon pairs is observed, beating the previous record of six.

Teleportation of quantum gates is a critical step for the implementation of quantum networking and teleportation-based models of quantum computation. We report an experimental demonstration of teleportation of the prototypical quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate. Assisted with linear optical manipulations, photon entanglement produced from parametric down-conversion, and postselection from the coincidence measurements, we teleport the quantum CNOT gate from acting on local qubits to acting on remote qubits. The quality of the quantum gate teleportation is characterized through the method of quantum process tomography, with an average fidelity of 0.84 demonstrated for the teleported gate.

Using the spontaneous parametric down-conversion process in a type-I phase matching beta-barium-borate crystal as a single photon source, we perform an all-or-nothing-type Kochen-Specker experiment proposed by Simon et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 1783 (2000)]] to verify whether noncontextual hidden variables or quantum mechanics is right. The results strongly agree with quantum mechanics.

Quantum superdense coding protocols enhance channel capacity by using shared quantum entanglement between two users The channel capacity can be as high as 2 when one uses entangled qubits However, this limit can be surpassed by using high-dimensional entanglement We report an experiment that exceeds the limit using high-quality entangled ququarts with fidelities up to 098, demonstrating a channel capacity of 209 ± 001 The measured channel capacity is also higher than that obtained when transmitting only one ququart We use the setup to transmit a five-color image with a fidelity of 0952 Our experiment shows the great advantage of high-dimensional entanglement and will stimulate research on high-dimensional quantum information processes
