    Summary

     

    The scalability of quantum processors is limited by current error rates for single-qubit gates. By encoding more than a single bit of information within a single ion, multi-level “qudits” offer a promising method of increasing the information density within a quantum processor, and therefore minimizing the number of gates and associated error rates. In this project we seek to improve the capabilities of trapped ion quantum processors, implementing all of the basic tools required to perform quantum information processing with multi-level qudits. To-date there have been few experimental efforts directed towards this area and many of the basic operations – such as reliably distinguishing among all possible basis states in a single-shot measurement or performing deterministic entangling gates – have not yet been demonstrated. In this project, we will design and construct a laser system that will be used to perform coherent operations, and to implement and characterize high-fidelity single-qudit gates. These will form some of the world’s first laboratory demonstrations of quantum computing with multi-level qudits. Because our approach will allow more information to be encoded with fewer qudits, and folds some of the complexity of a given algorithm into the non-entangling operations, there is reason to believe that the use of multi-level qudits could bring dramatic improvements to the scalability of quantum processors.

    Hybrid Quantum Materials towards Topological Quantum Computing

    Summary   Proximity engineered hybrid materials have shown promise for topological quantum information processing. This form of quantum computing provides a stable, error-tolerant approach for building scalable quantum information processors. Topological quantum computing relies on braiding non-Abelian particles, such as Majorana fermions, which do not exist in nature. One can however use materials engineering to […]

    Hybrid Quantum Repeater based on Atomic Quantum Memories and Telecom Wavelength Entangled Photon-Pairs Generated from Semiconductor Nanowires

    Summary   Losses in physical channels, such as optical fibres, limit existing quantum communication systems to modest distance ranges. Since amplification of quantum signals is fundamentally not possible,  we look to extend the range and functionality of these quantum channels by adding quantum memory nodes that can daisy-chain multiple lengths of quantum channels through entanglement […]

    Entangled Photon Orbital Angular Momentum Arrays

    Summary Arrays of orbital angular momentum (OAM) states of light are a new form of structured light so far relatively unexplored in quantum information science. Unlike spin angular momentum of light, which is related to light’s polarization and covers two dimensions, OAM states, sometimes described as ‘donut beams’ due to the shape of the field […]

    Folk Understanding of Quantum Physics

    Summary  It is often said that quantum concepts are counterintuitive. However, quantum concepts may not be equally counterintuitive to people from all cultural backgrounds. As cultural psychologists have discovered, culture fundamentally shapes the way people make sense of the world. In particular, the last few decades of research have documented cultural differences in appreciation of […]
