Multi-mode Gaussian State Analysis with Total Photon Counting

July 11, 2023
Author(s)
Arik Avagyan, Scott Glancy, Emanuel Knill
The continuing improvement in the qualities of photon-number-resolving (PNR) detectors opens new possibilities for measuring quantum states of light. In this work we consider the question of what properties of an arbitrary multi-mode Gaussian state are

Single Flux Quantum-Based Digital Control of Superconducting Qubits in a Multi-Chip Module

June 24, 2023
Author(s)
Chuanhong Liu, Robert McDermott, Britton Plourde, Andrew Ballard, Jonathan DuBois, Pete Hopkins, David Olaya, John Biesecker, Samuel P. Benz, Dan Schmidt, Joel Ullom
The single flux quantum (SFQ) digital superconducting logic family has been proposed as a practical approach for controlling next-generation superconducting qubit arrays with more favorable scaling properties compared to conventional microwave-based

Studies of spatial uniformity and jitter in SiC UV SPADs

June 15, 2023
Author(s)
Joshua Bienfang, Edwin J. Heilweil, Anand Sampath, Gregory Garrett, Jonathan Shuster, Jeremy Smith, Michael Derenge, Daniel Habersat, Reza Gandhi, Sergei Dolinsky, Enrico Bellotti, michael wrabeck
Ultraviolet single-photon avalanche detectors (UV-SPAD) that are low cost, size, weight, and power as well as resilient to shock, high temperatures and stray magnetic fields have a number of applications. SiC is attractive for UV SPADs as it is inherently

Qubit-oscillator concatenated codes: decoding formalism & code comparison

June 14, 2023
Author(s)
Yijia Xu, Yixu Wang, En-Jui Kuo, Victor Albert
Concatenating bosonic error-correcting codes with qubit codes can substantially boost the error-correcting power of the original qubit codes. It is not clear how to concatenate optimally, given there are several bosonic codes and concatenation schemes to

Systematic Improvements in Transmon Qubit Coherence enabled by Niobium Surface Encapsulation

June 14, 2023
Author(s)
Mustafa BAL, Akshay Murthy, Francesco Crisa, Shaojiang Zhu, Florent Lecocq, Joe Aumentado, Joel Ullom, Pete Hopkins
We present a novel transmon qubit fabrication technique that yields systematic improvements in T1 coherence times. In this study, the devices are fabricated using a novel encapsulation strategy that involves passivating the surface of niobium and thereby

Applications of single photons in quantum metrology, biology and the foundations of quantum physics

May 26, 2023
Author(s)
Christophe Couteau, Stefanie Barz, Thomas Durt, Thomas Gerrits, Jan Huwer, Robert Prevedel, John Rarity, Gregor Weihs
With the development of photonic quantum technologies, single photons have become key for various applications including quantum communication and quantum computing, discussed in an accompanying Review. Here we overview the applications of single photons

Nonlinear Sideband Cooling to a Cat State of Motion

May 25, 2023
Author(s)
Bradley Hauer, Joshua Combes, John Teufel
The ability to prepare a macroscopic mechanical resonator into a quantum superposition state is an outstanding goal of cavity optomechanics. Here, we propose a technique to generate cat states of motion using the intrinsic nonlinearity of a dispersive

Automated extraction of capacitive coupling for quantum dot systems

May 24, 2023
Author(s)
Joshua Ziegler, Florian Luthi, Mick Ramsey, Felix Borjans, Guoji Zheng, Justyna Zwolak
Gate-defined quantum dots (QDs) have appealing attributes as a quantum computing platform. However, near-term devices possess a range of possible imperfections that need to be accounted for during the tuning and operation of QD devices. One such problem is

Neural-network decoders for measurement induced phase transitions

May 22, 2023
Author(s)
Hossein Dehghani, Ali Lavasani, Mohammad Hafezi, Michael Gullans
Open quantum systems have been shown to host a plethora of exotic dynamical phases. Measurement-induced entanglement phase transitions in monitored quantum systems are a striking example of this phenomena. However, naive realizations of such phase

Experimental demonstration of local area entanglement distribution between two distant nodes, coexisting with classical synchronization

We successfully demonstrated polarization entanglement distribution and classical time synchronization using a high-accuracy precision time protocol between two quantum nodes located 250 meters apart using a single fiber simultaneously carrying both

Sub-200 ps Quantum Network Node Synchronization over a 128 km Link White Rabbit Architecture

Wayne McKenzie, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Mark Morris, Gerald Baumgartner, Anouar Rahmouni, Paulina Kuo, Oliver T. Slattery, Bruce Crabill, Mheni Merzouki, Abdella Battou, Thomas Gerrits
We show sub-200 ps synchronization between quantum networks nodes that are separated by two 64 km deployed fiber links, providing a 128 km link architecture. The architecture employs one grandmaster and two boundary White Rabbit system clocks and shows

Versatile parametric coupling between two statically decoupled transmon qubits

May 4, 2023
