Precision Bounds on Continuous-Variable State Tomography Using Classical Shadows

March 18, 2024
Author(s)
Srilekha Gandhari, Victor Albert, Thomas Gerrits, Jacob Taylor, Michael Gullans
Shadow tomography is a framework for constructing succinct descriptions of quantum states, called classical shadows, with powerful methods to bound the estimators used. Classical shadows are well-studied in the discrete-variable case, which consists of

Colloquium: Advances in automation of quantum dot devices control

February 17, 2023
Author(s)
Justyna Zwolak, Jacob Taylor
Arrays of quantum dots (QDs) are a promising candidate system to realize scalable, coupled qubit systems and serve as a fundamental building block for quantum computers. In such semiconductor quantum systems, devices now have tens of individual

Joshua Ziegler, Thomas McJunkin, Emily Joseph, Sandesh Kalantre, Benjamin Harpt, Donald Savage, Max Lagally, Mark Eriksson, Jacob Taylor, Justyna Zwolak
The current autotuning approaches for quantum dot (QD) devices, while showing some success, lack an assessment of data reliability. This leads to unexpected failures when noisy or otherwise low-quality data is processed by an autonomous system. In this

Brian Weber, Sandesh Kalantre, Thomas McJunkin, Jacob Taylor, Justyna Zwolak
The problem of classifying high-dimensional shapes in real-world data grows in complexity as the dimension of the space increases. For the case of identifying convex shapes of different geometries, a new classification framework has recently been proposed

Author(s)
Jacob Taylor, Daniel Carney, Hartmut Haffner, David Moore
Electrons and ions trapped with electromagnetic fields have long served as important high- precision metrological instruments, and more recently have also been proposed as a platform for quantum information processing. Here we point out that these systems

Justyna Zwolak, Thomas McJunkin, Sandesh Kalantre, Samuel Neyens, Evan MacQuarrie, Mark A. Eriksson, Jacob Taylor
Quantum dots (QDs) defined with electrostatic gates are a leading platform for a scalable quantum computing implementation. However, with increasing numbers of qubits, the complexity of the control parameter space also grows. Traditional measurement

Jacob Taylor, Gadi Afek, Sunil Bhave, Daniel Carney, Gordan Krnjaic, David Moore, Robinjeet Singh, Cindy Regal, Benjamin M. Brubaker, Andrew Geraci, Jonathan D. Cripe, Sohitri Ghosh, Jack Harris, Anson Hook, Jonathan Kunjummen, Rafael Lang, Li Tongcang, Tongyan Lin, Zhen Liu, Joseph Lykken, Lorenzo Magrini, Jack Manley, Nobuyuki Matsumoto, Alissa Monte, Fernando Monteiro, Thomas Purdy, C. J. Riedel, Swati Singh, Kanupriya Sinha, Juehang Qin, Dalziel Wilson, Yue Zhao
Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matter. Searching for the extremely weak signals produced by this dark matter

Auto-tuning of double dot devices it in situ with machine learning

Author(s)
Justyna Zwolak, Thomas McJunkin, Sandesh Kalantre, J. P. Dodson, Evan MacQuarrie, D. E. Savage, M. G. Lagally, S N. Coppersmith, Mark A. Eriksson, Jacob Taylor
The current practice of manually tuning quantum dots (QDs) for qubit operation is a relatively time- consuming procedure that is inherently impractical for scaling up and applications. In this work, we report on the \it in situ} implementation of a

Ray-based classification framework for high-dimensional data

February 3, 2020
Author(s)
Justyna Zwolak, Jacob Taylor, Sandesh Kalantre, Thomas McJunkin, Brian Weber
While classification of arbitrary structures in high dimensions may require complete quantitative information, for simple geometrical structures, low-dimensional qualitative information about the boundaries defining the structures can suffice. Rather than

Sandesh Kalantre, Justyna Zwolak, Stephen Ragole, Xingyao Wu, Neil M. Zimmerman, Michael Stewart, Jacob Taylor
Recent progress in building large-scale quantum devices for exploring quantum computing and simulation paradigms has relied upon effective tools for achieving and maintaining good experimental parameters, i.e. tuning up devices. In many cases, including in

Chiao Wang, Michael Gullans, James V. Porto, William D. Phillips, Jacob Taylor
A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a quantum phase of matter achieved at low temperatures.Photons, one of the most prominent species of bosons, do not typically condense due to the lackof a particle number-conservation. We recently described a photon

Author(s)
Chiao-Hsuan Wang, Michael Gullans, James V. Porto, William D. Phillips, Jacob Taylor
The cooling of atomic motion by scattered light enables a wide variety of technological and scientific explorations. Here we focus on laser cooling from the perspective of the light — specifi- cally, the scattering of light between different optical modes
