Quantum coding with low-depth random circuits

September 24, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Gullans, David A. Huse, Stefan Krastanov, Liang Jiang, Steven T. Flammia
Random quantum circuits have played a central role in establishing the computational advantages of near-term quantum computers over their conventional counterparts. Here, we use ensembles of low-depth random circuits with local connectivity in D ≥ 1

Motional Squeezing for Trapped Ion Transport and Separation

August 20, 2021
Author(s)
Robert Sutherland, Shaun Burd, Daniel Slichter, Stephen Libby, Dietrich Leibfried
Transport, separation, and merging of trapped ion crystals are essential operations for most large-scale quantum computing architectures. In this Letter, we develop a theoretical framework that describes the dynamics of ions in time-varying potentials with

Programmable System on Chip for controlling an atomic physics experiment

July 23, 2021
Author(s)
Ananya Sitaram, Gretchen K. Campbell, Alessandro Restelli
Most atomic physics experiments are controlled by a digital pattern generator used to synchronize all equipment by providing triggers and clocks. Recently, the availability of well-documented open-source development tools has lifted the barriers to using

Hyperspectral study of the coupling between trions in WSe2 monolayers to a circular Bragg grating cavity

Author(s)
Marcelo I. Davanco, Oliver Iff, Simon Betzold, Magdalena Moczala-Dusanowska, Matthias Wurdack, Monika Emmerling, Sven Hofling, Christian Schneider
Circular Bragg gratings compose a very appealing photonic platform and nanophotonic interfacefor the controlled light-matter coupling of emitters in nanomaterials. Here, we discuss the integration ofexfoliated monolayers of WSe2with GaInP Bragg gratings

Ray-based framework for state identification in quantum dot devices

June 17, 2021
Author(s)
Justyna Zwolak, Thomas McJunkin, Sandesh Kalantre, Samuel Neyens, Evan MacQuarrie, Mark A. Eriksson, Jacob Taylor
Quantum dots (QDs) defined with electrostatic gates are one of the leading candidates for scaling up the number of qubits in quantum computing implementations. However, with increasing qubit number, the complexity of the control parameter space also grows

Demonstration that Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering Requires More than One Bit of Faster-than-Light Information Transmission

June 9, 2021
Author(s)
Yu Xiang, Michael Mazurek, Joshua Bienfang, Michael Wayne, Carlos Abellan, Waldimar Amaya, Morgan Mitchell, Richard Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Qiongyi He, Martin Stevens, Lynden Shalm, Howard Wiseman
Schrödinger held that a local quantum system has some objectively real quantum state and no other (hidden) properties. He therefore took the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) phenomenon, which he generalized and called 'steering', to require nonlocal

High-performance semiconductor quantum dot-single- photon sources

June 3, 2021
Author(s)
Glenn S. Solomon
Single photons are a key, fundamental element of most quantum optical technologies, be it for the development of large-scale quantum communication networks, for quantum simulation, or for connecting quantum memories in a quantum computer. The ideal single

Coherence and decoherence in the Harper-Hofstadter model

May 19, 2021
Author(s)
Ian Spielman, Qiyu Liang, Dimi Trypogeorgos, Ana Valdes-Curiel, Junheng Tao, Mingshu Zhao
We quantum simulated the 2D Harper-Hofstadter (HH) lattice model in a highly elongated tube geometry—three sites in circumference—using an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. In addition to the usual transverse (out-of-plane) magnetic flux, piercing the

Entanglement and purification transitions in non-Hermitian quantum mechanics

April 30, 2021
Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Sarang Gopalakrishnan
A quantum system subject to continuous measurement and post-selection evolves according to a non- Hermitian Hamiltonian. We show that, as one increases the rate of post-selection, this non- Hermitian Hamiltonian can undergo a spectral phase transition. On

Practical quantum-enhanced receivers for classical communication

April 20, 2021
Author(s)
Ivan Burenkov, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Sergey Polyakov
Communication is an integral part of human life. Today, optical pulses are the preferred information carriers for long-distance communication. The exponential growth in data leads to a "capacity crunch" in the underlying physical systems. One of the

Quantum circuits with many photons on a programmable nanophotonic chip

Yanbao Zhang, Hsin-Pin Lo, Alan Mink, Takuya Ikuta, Toshimori Honjo, Hiroki Takesue, William Munro
Quantum random numbers distinguish themselves from others by their intrinsic unpredictability arising from the principles of quantum mechanics. As such they are extremely useful in many scientific and real-world applications with considerable efforts going

The membership problem for constant-sized quantum correlations is undecidable

January 26, 2021
Author(s)
Carl Miller, Honghao Fu, William Slofstra
When two spatially separated parties make measurements on an unknown entangled quantum state, what correlations can they achieve? How difficult is it to determine whether a given correlation is a quantum correlation? These questions are central to problems
