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

April 19, 2021
Author(s)
Adriana Lita, Sae Woo Nam, Thomas Gerrits, J. M. Arrazola, V. Bergholm, K Bradler, T R. Bromley, M J. Collins, I Dhand, A Fumagalli, A Goussev, L G. Helt, J Hundal, T Isacsson, R B. Israel, N Quesada, V D. Vaidya, Z Vernon, Y Zhang
Growing interest in quantum computing for practical applications has led to a surge in the availability of programmable machines for loading and executing quantum algorithms. Photonic quantum computers have been limited either to non-deterministic

Control and readout of a superconducting qubit using a photonic link

March 24, 2021
Author(s)
Florent Lecocq, Franklyn Quinlan, Katarina Cicak, Joe Aumentado, Scott Diddams, John Teufel
Delivering on the revolutionary promise of a universal quantum computer will require processors with millions of quantum bits (qubits). In superconducting quantum processors, each qubit is individually addressed with microwave signal lines that connect

Efficient and low-backaction measurement of a superconducting qubit

March 3, 2021
Author(s)
Eric Rosenthal, Christian M. Schneider, Maxime Malnou, Ziyi Zhao, Felix Leditzky, Benjamin Chapman, Waltraut Wustmann, Xizheng Ma, Daniel A. Palken, Leila R. Vale, Gene C. Hilton, Jiansong Gao, Graeme Smith, Gerhard Kirchmair, Konrad Lehnert

Compact and Tunable Forward Coupler Based on High-Impedance Superconducting Nanowires

February 25, 2021
Author(s)
Marco Colangelo, Di Zhu, Daniel F. Santavicca, Brenden Butters, Joshua Bienfang, Karl K. Berggren
Developing compact, low-dissipation, cryogenic-compatible microwave electronics is essential for scaling up low-temperature quantum computing systems. In this paper, we demonstrate an ultracompact microwave directional forward coupler based on high

A simple low-latency real-time certifiable quantum random number generator

February 24, 2021
Author(s)
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

A quantum enhanced search for dark matter axions

February 10, 2021
Author(s)
K M. Backes, Daniel A. Palken, S A. Kenany, Benjamin M. Brubaker, S B. Cahn, A Droster, Gene C. Hilton, Sumita Ghosh, H. Jackson, Steve K. Lamoreaux, A. F. Feder, Konrad Lehnert, S M. Lewis, Maxime Malnou, R H. Maruyama, N M. Rapidis, M Simanovskaia, Sukhman Singh, D H. Speller, I Urdinaran, Leila R. Vale, E. C. van Assendelft, K van Bibber, H. Wang
