Experimental Realization of Neutron Helical Waves

May 11, 2022

Michael G. Huber, Charles W. Clark, Dmitry Pushin, Connor Kapahi, Lisa DeBeer-Schmitt, David Cory, Huseyin Ekinci, Melissa Henderson, Dusan Sarenac
Methods of preparation and analysis of structured waves of light, electrons, and atoms have been advancing rapidly. Despite the proven power of neutrons for material characterization and studies of fundamental physics, neutron science has not been able to

A self-validated detector for characterization of quantum network components

We are developing a nearly polarization-independent, low-cost optical trap detector between 1000 nm and 1550 nm for optical power measurements. A NIST-traceable optical power calibration of this trap detector showed a promising result.

White Rabbit-assisted quantum network node synchronization with quantum channel coexistence

Thomas Gerrits, Ivan Burenkov, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Anouar Rahmouni, DJ Anand, FNU Hala, Oliver T. Slattery, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
We show that the Ethernet-based time transfer protocol 'White Rabbit' can synchronize two distant quantum-networked nodes to within 4 ps, enabling HOM interference at >90 % visibility using 17.6 ps FWHM single-photons coexisting with White Rabbit.

Chiral central charge from a single bulk wave function

Isaac H. Kim, Bowen Shi, Kohtaro Kato, Victor Albert
A (2+1)-dimensional gapped quantum many-body system can have a topologically protected energy current at its edge. The magnitude of this current is determined entirely by the temperature and the chiral central charge c_-, a quantity associated with the

High-fidelity indirect readout of trapped-ion hyperfine qubits

April 21, 2022
Author(s)
Stephen Erickson, Jenny Wu, Panyu Hou, Daniel Cole, Shawn Geller, Alexander Kwiatkowski, Scott Glancy, Emanuel Knill, Daniel Slichter, Andrew C. Wilson, Dietrich Leibfried
We propose and demonstrate a protocol for high-fidelity indirect readout of trapped ion hyperfine qubits, where the state of a 9Be+ qubit ion is mapped to a 25Mg+ readout ion using laser-driven Raman transitions. By partitioning the 9Be+ ground-state

Quantum computing hardware for HEP algorithms and sensing

Author(s)
Corey Rae McRae
Quantum information science harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to realize computational algorithms with complexities vastly intractable by current computer platforms. Typical applications range from quantum chemistry to optimization problems and

Thermal release tape-assisted semiconductor membrane transfer process for hybrid photonic devices embedding quantum emitters

April 19, 2022
Author(s)
Cori Haws, Biswarup Guha, Edgar Perez, Marcelo Davanco, Jin Dong Song, Kartik Srinivasan, Luca Sapienza
Being able to combine different materials allows taking advantage of different properties and device engineering that cannot be found or exploited within a single system. In the realm of quantum and nanophotonics, for instance, one might want to increase

Two-qubit silicon quantum processor with operation fidelity exceeding 99%

April 6, 2022
Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Adam Mills, Charlie Guinn, Anthony Sigillito, Mayer Feldman, Nielsen Erik, Jason Petta
Silicon spin qubits satisfy the necessary criteria for quantum information processing. However, precision is required to support error correction, namely high accuracy state preparation and readout as well as high fidelity single- and two-qubit control. We

Performance of a Kinetic-Inductance Traveling-Wave Parametric Amplifier at 4 Kelvin: Toward an Alternative to Semiconductor Amplifiers

April 5, 2022
Author(s)
Maxime Malnou, Joe Aumentado, Michael Vissers, Jordan Wheeler, Johannes Hubmayr, Joel Ullom, Jiansong Gao
Most microwave readout architectures in quantum computing or sensing rely on a semiconductor amplifier at 4\,K, typically a high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT). Despite its remarkable noise performance, a conventional HEMT dissipates several

Picosecond-resolution single-photon time lens for temporal mode quantum processing

March 28, 2022

Chaitali Joshi, Ben Sparkes, Alessandro Farsi, Thomas Gerrits, Sae Woo Nam, Varun Verma, Sven Ramelow, Alex Gaeta
Techniques to control the spectro-temporal properties of quantum states of light at ultrafast time scales are crucial for several applications in quantum information science. In this work, we report an all-optical time lens based on Bragg-scattering four
