    Mesoscopic systems as coherent control elements

    chemistry computation control entanglement grand challenge mesoscopic systems non-interacting qubits

    Summary 

    Mesoscopic systems provide a new tool for quantum systems design. In particular, they are enabling of robust quantum control. Here “mesoscopic system” refers to a connected network where each element, if studied alone, would be a quantum bit. The network is too big to be treated fully quantum mechanically. We do not have individual control over each element and we measure collective properties of the network. However, the network retains quantum coherence and behaves in a uniquely quantum fashion. In this project, we design a novel protocol using an intermediate mesoscopic system to control and interconnect non-interacting qubits. Our method aims to create entanglement between two separated qubits; a pure quantum correlation between the target qubits that provides a measure of the mesoscopic system’s quantum capacity. Over the course of this project, we will develop new theory and experimental tools. Ultimately, we expect our work will lead to innovative design elements for use in quantum processor architectures and quantum measurement devices.

    Figure 1: The summary of the entangling protocol: (a) The experimentally available control tools are used to correlate two joint logical states of the target with two very distinct collective states of the mesoscopic system, (b) A low-resolution global measurement over the mesoscopic system discerns between the distinct collective states of the mesoscopic system. This measurement updates the state of the qubits into one of the two logical joint states, each with a probability of ½, along with the state of the mesoscopic system. Both of these joint logical states are maximally entangled quantum states between the target qubits.

    Spin-transfer Torque Magnetic Random Access Memory for On-chip Spin Information Storage

    Summary   Leakage power in semiconductor memories, such as Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) and Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), can be substantial and is one of the limits for scalability of classical electronics. This is attributed to the fact that the information stored is volatile, requiring constant refreshing, as well as reprogramming upon powering […]

    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 […]

    Ultrafast Dynamical Studies of Valley-Based Qubits

    Summary   As monolayers, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) – such as tungsten diselenide (WSe2) – become direct-bandgap semiconductors capable of emitting light. Compared to conventional direct-bandgap semiconductors, such as III-V semiconductors like GaAs, excitons (quasiparticles made of an electron hole bound with an electron) and single-layer TMDCs (SL-TMDCs) have much stronger binding energy. Excitons and […]
