Superconducting parametric amplifiers have become a workhorse in superconducting quantum computing, however research and development of these devices has been hampered by inconsistent, and sometimes misleading noise performance characterization

Suppressing errors is the central challenge for useful quantum computing and quantum error correction is believed to be the key to large-scale quantum processing. Here we report the realization of a programmable quantum processor based on encoded logical

A future quantum internet is expected to generate, distribute, store and process quantum bits (qubits) over the world by linking different quantum nodes via quantum states of light. To facilitate long-haul operations, quantum repeaters must operate at
Single epitaxial quantum dots (QDs) are a leading technology for quantum light generation, particularly when they are embedded in photonic geometries that enhance their emission into a targeted and confined mode. However, coupling this mode into a
Backward-wave three-wave mixing is a difficult χ(2) interaction to observe, because it requires ultrashort poling periods to achieve phasematching. Having realized sub-micrometer periods in periodically poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP), we demonstrate for the first
We develop quantum information processing primitives for the planar rotor, the state space of a particle on a circle. By interpreting rotor wavefunctions as periodically identified wavefunctions of a harmonic oscillator, we determine the group of bosonic
In recent years, the implementation of thin-film Ta has led to improved coherence times in superconducting circuits. Efforts to further optimize this materials stack have become a focus of the materials for superconducting quantum computing subfield. It

Scalable optical communication requires error identification and correction to protect and recover information from channel and detection noise. Forward error correction protects information transmitted with optical pulses by amending errors using
Quantum computers based on gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) are expected to scale. However, as the number of qubits increases, the burden of manually calibrating these systems becomes unreasonable and autonomous tuning must be used. There has been a range

The detection efficiency of a commercial single-photon avalanche detector (SPAD) has been independently determined at two national metrology institutes, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) - USA and the Physikalisch-Technische
Random quantum circuits continue to inspire a wide range of applications in quantum information science, while remaining analytically tractable through probabilistic methods. Motivated by the need for deterministic circuits with similar applications, we

As quantum devices make steady progress towards intermediate scale and fault-tolerant quantum computing, it is essential to develop rigorous and efficient measurement protocols that account for known sources of noise in each architecture. Most existing
The continuing improvement in the qualities of photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors opens new possibilities for measuring quantum states of light. In this work we consider the question of what properties of an arbitrary multi-mode Gaussian state are

Doubly parametric quantum transducers (DPTs), such as electro-optomechanical devices, show promise as quantum interconnects between the optical and microwave domains, thereby enabling long-distance quantum networks between superconducting qubit systems

The single flux quantum (SFQ) digital superconducting logic family has been proposed as a practical approach for controlling next-generation superconducting qubit arrays with more favorable scaling properties compared to conventional microwave-based
We develop a method to estimate the sum of conditional means of a sequence of random variables given our access to only a subsequence by spot-checking. The method works with non-independent-and-identically-distributed (non-i.i.d.) random variables and can

Ultraviolet single-photon avalanche detectors (UV-SPAD) that are low cost, size, weight, and power as well as resilient to shock, high temperatures and stray magnetic fields have a number of applications. SiC is attractive for UV SPADs as it is inherently
Concatenating bosonic error-correcting codes with qubit codes can substantially boost the error-correcting power of the original qubit codes. It is not clear how to concatenate optimally, given there are several bosonic codes and concatenation schemes to
