Measurement-Informed Safe Reinforcement Learning for Quantum Battery Charging via Harmonic-Syndrome Diagnostics and BMS Constraints

Abstract: Quantum batteries promise ultrafast energy storage but are highly sensitive to noise, drift, and hardware constraints, making safe high-performance charging a central challenge for noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. We propose a measurement-informed safe control framework that couples harmonic-spectrum-based syndrome diagnostics—H2/H1, H3/H1, and frequency drift—with a battery management system (BMS)-constrained curriculum reinforcement learning (RL) policy.

Optimal Control-Assisted Rapid Quantum State Transfer on 1-D Spin Chain

Abstract: Traditional many-body teleportation relies on the strong interaction property of a quantum many-body system, which usually requires numerous qubits and entanglement resources, making it difficult to realize experimentally. A natural scheme is to use a 1-D spin chain with simple structure to realize many-body teleportation. In this article, we analyze the conditions for general […]

Transmon Qubit Modeling and Characterization for Dark Matter Search

Abstract: This study presents the design, simulation, and experimental characterization of a superconducting transmon qubit circuit prototype for potential applications in dark matter detection experiments. We describe a planar circuit design featuring two noninteracting transmon qubits, one with fixed frequency and the other flux tunable. Finite-element simulations were employed to extract key Hamiltonian parameters and […]

Spatiotemporal Multiplexed Rydberg Receiver

Rydberg states of alkali atoms, where the outer valence electron is excited to high principal quantum numbers, have large electric dipole moments allowing them to be used as sensitive, wideband, electric field sensors. These sensors use electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) to measure incident electric fields. The characteristic timescale necessary to establish EIT determines the effective […]

Quantum Control of Optically Active Artificial Atoms With 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, […]

Hybrid Dissipative and Dispersive Optomechanically Induced Transparency

Traditionally, the optical interference and energy conversion could be modulated by dissipation and dispersion in nonlinear optomechanical systems. Here, in this article, we study the enhancement of dissipative coupling on transparency under generalized optomechanical coupling and theoretically illustrate the generation of optomechanically induced transparency with gain and interference tuning. It enables the enhancement of the […]

Voltage-Tunable Superconducting Resonators: A Platform for Random Access Quantum Memory

In computing architectures, one important factor is the tradeoff between the need to couple bits of information (quantum or classical) to each other and to an external drive and the need to isolate them well enough in order to protect the information for an extended period of time. In the case of superconducting quantum circuits, […]
