Ten-channel Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between independent optical combs

Dissipative Kerr soliton (DKS) frequency comb exhibits broad and narrow-linewidth frequency modes, which make it suitable for quantum communication. However, scalable quantum network based on multiple independent combs is still a challenge due to their fabrication-induced frequency mismatches. This limitation becomes critical in measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution, which requires high visibility of Hong-Ou-Mandel interference between multiple frequency channels. Here, we experimentally demonstrate two independent DKS combs with ten spectrally aligned lines without any frequency locking system. The visibility for individual comb-line pairs reaches up to $46.72\pm 0.63\mathrm{\%}$ via precision frequency translation, establishing a foundation for deploying DKS combs in multi-user quantum networks.
