Efficient Quantum Network Communication Using Optimized Entanglement Swapping Trees

November 2, 2022Mohammad GhaderibanehOpen Access, Quantum InternetDegradation, Photonics, Quantum entanglement, Quantum networks, Quantum state, Qubit, Teleportation

Quantum network communication is challenging, as the no-cloning theorem in the quantum regime makes many classical techniques inapplicable; in particular, the direct transmission of qubit states over long distances is infeasible due to unrecoverable errors. For the long-distance communication of unknown quantum states, the only viable communication approach (assuming local operations and classical communications) is […]

A Connection-Oriented Entanglement Distribution Design in Quantum Networks

November 2, 2022Jian LiOpen Access, Quantum InternetProtocols, Quality of service, Quantum entanglement, Quantum networks, Qubit, Routing, Teleportation

Quantum networks create a completely new way for communication, and the most important function of a quantum network is to generate long-distance quantum entanglement to serve a number of quantum applications. As the scale of the network expands, in order to establish end-to-end entanglement between two remote nodes, entangled pairs need to be generated and […]

Blockchain technology has been prominent recently due to its applications in cryptocurrency. Numerous decentralized blockchain applications have been possible due to blockchains’ nature of distributed, secured, and peer-to-peer storage. One of its technical pillars is using public-key cryptography and hash functions, which promise a secure, pseudoanonymous, and distributed storage with nonrepudiation. This security is believed […]

High-Stability Cryogenic System for Quantum Computing With Compact Packaged Ion Traps

November 2, 2022Robert Fulton SpiveyOpen Access, Physical ImplementationsAtom optics, Ions, Laser beams, Laser stability, Modulation, Optical imaging, Optical pumping

Cryogenic environments benefit ion trapping experiments by offering lower motional heating rates, collision energies, and an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) environment for maintaining long ion chains for extended periods of time. Mechanical vibrations caused by compressors in closed-cycle cryostats can introduce relative motion between the ion and the wavefronts of lasers used to manipulate the ions. […]

Quantum Control of Optically Active Artificial Atoms With Surface Acoustic Waves

November 2, 2022Michael ChoquerOpen Access, Physical ImplementationsAtom optics, Couplings, Optical resonators, Optical surface waves, Quantum dots, Substrates, Surface acoustic waves

Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are a versatile tool for realizing coherent quantum interfaces between various solid-state qubits spanning microwave to optical frequencies. Through strain, electric, or magnetic fields associated with acoustic waves, qubit states can be controlled and measured with exquisite precision for applications in quantum information processing, memory, transduction, and sensing. In this review, […]

This article proposes an end-to-end framework for the learning-enabled control of closed quantum systems. The proposed learning technique is the first of its kind to utilize a hierarchical design, which layers probing control, quantum state tomography, quantum process tomography, and Hamiltonian learning to identify both the internal and control Hamiltonians. Within this context, a novel […]

We fabricate and characterize superconducting through-silicon vias and electrodes suitable for superconducting quantum processors. We measure internal quality factors of a million for test resonators excited at single-photon levels, on chips with superconducting vias used to stitch ground planes on the front and back sides of the chips. This resonator performance is on par with […]

Noise Reduction Methods for Charge Stability Diagrams of Double Quantum Dots

November 2, 2022Sarah FleitmannEnabling Technologies, Open AccessFiltering algorithms, Information filters, Logic gates, Quantum dots, Smoothing methods, Tuning, Wiener filters

Operating semiconductor quantum dots as quantum bits requires isolating single electrons by adjusting gate voltages. The transitions of electrons to and from the dots appear as a honeycomb-like pattern in recorded charge stability diagrams (CSDs). Thus, detecting the pattern is essential to tune a double dot, but manual tuning is seriously time-consuming. However, automation of […]

Simultaneous Estimation of Parameters and the State of an Optical Parametric Oscillator System

November 2, 2022Qi YuEnabling Technologies, Open AccessEstimation, Filtering, Filtering theory, Kalman filters, Quantum computing, Quantum state, Quantum system

In this article, we consider the filtering problem of an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The OPO pump power may fluctuate due to environmental disturbances, resulting in uncertainty in the system modeling. Thus, both the state and the unknown parameter may need to be estimated simultaneously. We formulate this problem using a state-space representation of the […]
