Gated InAs quantum dots embedded in surface acoustic wave cavities for low-noise optomechanics

October 8, 2024
Author(s)
Zixuan Wang, Ryan DeCrescent, Poolad Imany, Joseph Bush, Sae Woo Nam, Richard Mirin, Kevin L. Silverman
Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) are promising optomechanical elements due to their excellent photonic properties and sensitivity to local strain fields. Microwave-frequency modulation of photons scattered from these efficient quantum emitters has

Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector Arrays for the Near- to Mid-Infrared

October 31, 2023
Author(s)
Benedikt Hampel, Richard Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Varun Verma
Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) are excellent devices for the analysis of faint light from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared. Recent developments push their broad wavelength bandwidth further into the mid-infrared towards 20 μm

Trap-Integrated Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors with Improved RF Tolerance for Trapped-Ion Qubit State Readout

April 24, 2023
Author(s)
Benedikt Hampel, Daniel Slichter, Dietrich Leibfried, Richard Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Varun Verma
State readout of trapped-ion qubits with trap-integrated detectors can address important challenges for scalable quantum computing, but the strong radio frequency (rf) electric fields used for trapping can impact detector performance. Here, we report on

Demonstration of Superconducting Optoelectronic Single-Photon Synapses

October 6, 2022

Saeed Khan, Bryce Primavera, Jeff Chiles, Adam McCaughan, Sonia Buckley, Alexander Tait, Adriana Lita, John Biesecker, Anna Fox, David Olaya, Richard Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Jeff Shainline
Superconducting optoelectronic hardware is being explored as a path towards artificial spiking neural networks with unprecedented scales of complexity and computational ability. Such hardware combines integrated-photonic components for few-photon, light

Tightly Confined Surface Acoustic Waves as Microwave-to-Optical Transduction Platforms in the Quantum Regime

September 26, 2022
Author(s)
Ryan DeCrescent, Zixuan Wang, Poolad Imany, Robert Boutelle, Corey McDonald, Travis Autry, John Teufel, Sae Woo Nam, Richard Mirin
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) coupled to quantum dots (QDs), trapped atoms and ions, and point defects have been proposed as quantum transduction platforms, yet the requisite coupling rates and cavity lifetimes have not been experimentally established

Quantum phase modulation with acoustic cavities and quantum dots

April 29, 2022
Author(s)
Poolad Imany, Zixuan Wang, Ryan DeCrescent, Robert Boutelle, Corey McDonald, Travis Autry, Samuel Berweger, Pavel Kabos, Sae Woo Nam, Richard Mirin, Kevin L. Silverman
Fast, efficient, and low-power modulation of light at microwave frequencies is crucial for chip-scale classical and quantum processing as well as for long-range networks of superconducting quantum processors. A successful approach to bridge the gap between

Laser-lithographically written micron-wide superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors

March 23, 2022

Maximilian Protte, Varun Verma, Jan Philipp Hopker, Richard Mirin, Sae Woo Nam, Tim Bartley
In this paper, we demonstrate our results on micron-wide tungsten silicide superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors fabricated by laser lithography. Laser-lithographically written devices allow for fast and easy structuring of large areas while

Multiphoton quantum metrology with neither pre- nor post-selected measurements

Chenglong You, Mingyuan Hong, Peter Bierhorst, Adriana Lita, Scott Glancy, Steven Kolthammer, Emanuel Knill, Sae Woo Nam, Richard Mirin, Omar Magana-Loaiza, Thomas Gerrits
The quantum statistical fluctuations of the electromagnetic field establish fundamental limits on the sensitivity of optical measurements. This fundamental limit, known as the shot-noise limit, imposes constraints on classical technologies, which can be
