Photonic-assisted Endoscopic Analysis of Guided W-band Pulses

August 24, 2014
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Jargon, DongJoon Lee, JaeYong Kwon
We present a photonic-assisted time-domain measurement technique for exploring millimeter-wave propagation through a W-band waveguide. The electric fields, guided inside a rectangular waveguide, are sampled using a sub-millimeter-scale electro-optic probe

Systematic Error Resolved in NIST Johnson Noise Thermometer

August 24, 2014
Author(s)
Alessio Pollarolo, Weston L. Tew, Horst Rogalla, Samuel P. Benz
In the Johnson Noise Thermometry approach, Boltzmann’s constant k is obtained as the ratio of the noise power measured across a sense resistor at the triple point of water and the noise power measured for a synthesized reference waveform. The reference

Single-shot security for one-time memories in the isolated qubits model

August 21, 2014
Author(s)
Yi-Kai Liu
One-time memories (OTM's) are simple, tamper-resistant cryptographic devices, which can be used to implement sophisticated functionalities such as one-time programs. OTM's cannot exist in a fully-classical world, or in a fully-quantum world, but there is

Topological Robustness of Transport Statistics for Photons in a Synthetic Gauge Field

August 20, 2014
Author(s)
Sunil Mittal, Jingyun Fan, Sanli Faez, Alan L. Migdall, Jacob M. Taylor, Mohammad Hafezi
Electronic transport through a disordered medium leads generically to localization, where conductance drops exponentially with system size, even at zero temperature. The addition of gauge fields to disordered media leads to fundamental changes in transport

Engineering three-body interaction and Pfaffian states in circuit QED systems

August 18, 2014
Author(s)
Mohammad Hafezi, Prabin Adhikari, Jacob M. Taylor
We demonstrate a scheme to engineer the three-body interaction in circuit-QED systems by tuning a fluxonium qubit. Connecting such qubits in a square lattice and controlling the tunneling dynamics, in the form of a synthesized magnetic field, for the

Enriching 28Si beyond 99.9998 % for semiconductor quantum computing

August 5, 2014
Author(s)
Kevin J. Dwyer, Joshua M. Pomeroy, David S. Simons, June W. Lau, Kristen L. Steffens
Using a laboratory-scale apparatus, we enrich 28Si and produce material with 40 times less residual 29Si than previously reported. Starting from natural abundance silane gas, we offer an alternative to industrial gas centrifuges for providing materials

Millimeter Wave Detection via Autler-Townes Splitting in Rubidium Rydberg Atoms

July 17, 2014
Author(s)
Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway, Andrew Schwarzkopf, Dave Anderson, Stephanie Miller, Nithiwadee Thaicharoen, Georg Raithel
In this paper we demonstrate the detection of millimeter waves via Autler-Townes splitting in 85Rb Rydberg atoms. This method may provide an independent atomic-based SI-traceable method for measuring mm-wave electric fi elds, which addresses a gap in

Photon Emission from a Cavity-Coupled Double Quantum Dot

July 16, 2014
Author(s)
Y.-Y. Liu, Karl Petersson, J. Stehlik, Jacob Taylor, Jason Petta
We study a voltage biased InAs double quantum dot (DQD) that is coupled to a superconducting transmission line resonator. Inelastic tunneling in the DQD is mediated by electron phonon coupling and coupling to the cavity mode. We show that electronic

Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors fabricated from an amorphous Mo0.75Ge0.25 thin-film

July 15, 2014
Author(s)
Varun B. Verma, Adriana E. Lita, Michael R. Vissers, Francesco Marsili, David P. Pappas, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
We present the characteristics of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) fabricated from amorphous Mo0.75Ge0.25 thin -films. Fabricated devices show a saturation of the internal detection efficiency at temperatures below 1 K, with system
