Abstract
The wave-particle duality of light has led to two different encodings of optical quantum information. One approach, refered as the discrete-variable (DV) one, relies on finite dimensional quantum systems, while the other one, refered as the continuous-variable (CV) one, is based on wave-like states belonging to an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. These two encodings have historically been separated, but recently, new hybrid protocols which aim at combining the two complementary encodings have emerged [1]. In that prospect our recent demonstration of the measurement-induced generation of hybrid entanglement between discrete and continuous-variable quantum states generated using optical parametric oscillators [2], located at distant places and connected by a lossy channel, has opened the way to the implementation of hybrid protocols and heterogeneous quantum networks. Here we will report the first protocols based on this resource: the remote preparation of continuous-variable qubits [3], and a violation of an Einstein-Podolosky-Rosen steering inequality [4].
