    characterization constant G grand challenge gravity imaging interferometry measurement quantum materials sensing

    Summary

    Neutrons are a powerful probe of matter and physics due to their Angstrom size wavelengths, electric neutrality and relatively large mass. In this project, we develop quantum sensors that exploit these attributes to increases the precision of measurements of fundamental forces and materials structure. With David Cory, Alexander Cronin of the University of Arizona, Han Wen of National Institute of Healthand collaborators at NIST, we engineer structure into neutron beams in the form of spatially correlated spin, phase, linear and angular momentum to create novel neutron interferometers.  Examples include, three-phase grating interferometers capable of high precision measurements of the gravitational constant, and phase contrast imaging to map the internal structure of quantum materials.

    Figure 1. An experimental configuration for quantum sensing via structured neutron probes and interferometry. Such experiments can be applied for measurements of the gravitational constant, for phase contrast neutron imaging and for mapping the internal structure of quantum materials.

    Materials for Majorana-based Topological Qubits

    Summary   Topological qubits offer a novel pathway to scalable quantum computing by simultaneously allowing for ease of coupling between qubits and strong decoupling of qubits from noise and dissipation. The most promising direction explores the topologically induced protection of theoretically predicted exotic quasiparticles, the so-called Majorana Zero Modes or MZMs. To-date MZMs, which follow […]

    On-Chip Microwave-Optical Quantum Interface

    Summary   In this project we develop a quantum interface between microwave and optical photons as a key enabling technology of a hybrid quantum network. In such a network, the robust optical photons carry quantum information through optical fibres over long distances, while superconducting microwave circuits protected from thermal photon noise by the low temperature […]

    Scanning Tunneling Microscopy of Quantum Materials, Devices and Molecules

    Summary   This project advances our ability to characterize and study novel quantum materials, quantum devices, and even individual molecules at the atomic level. By combining Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscopy (NC-AFM), Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and scanning gate methods, we correlate spatial information with transport properties and can locally manipulate charge, spin and structural states.

    Implementing High-fidelity Quantum Gates in Multi-level Trapped Ions

    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.
