    Quantum Computational Resources in the Presence of Symmetry

    computation condensed matter control error correction fault-tolerance FTQC grand challenge joint project MBQC resources symmetry universal

    Summary

    Fault-tolerance is essential to the performance of quantum technologies, but known schemes are extremely resource intensive. Thus, improving existing schemes or inventing new schemes is of central importance. This joint project is based on the realization that fault-tolerance schemes make use of symmetries in fundamental ways, and that studying the problem of fault tolerance broadly from a symmetry perspective may offer valuable insights. We will do so by focusing on fault-tolerance and control-error mitigation primitives that make explicit use of symmetries, and unveil fundamental connections between the two. This involves the study of decoherence and error control, and measures that counteract them in two settings: fault-tolerant universal quantum computation (FTQC) using magic state distillation; and computational phases of matter. We will address which types of symmetries lead to computationally universal phases of matter, and the minimum operational cost of fault-tolerant universal quantum computation. This work is a collaboration between the research groups of David Poulin, Robert Raussendorf, and Beni Yoshida from the Université de Sherbrooke, University of British Columbia and the Perimeter Institute, respectively. Results from this project will shed light on which order parameters of condensed matter systems are important for quantum information processing and quantum sensing, and how to assess and reduce the overhead requirements for fault-tolerant quantum computation via understanding the process of magic-state distillation.

The grey region is completely classical, and it contains the stabilizer polytope (with dashed boundary) as a strict subset. (b) The working of quantum computation in SPT phases rest on the presence of symmetry. Shown here is a symmetry that enables quantum computational wire, a computational primitive for computation.

    Spin Generation and High-Frequency Detection via the Quantum Nonlinear Anomalous Hall Effect in Weyl Semimetals

    In magnetic conductors, the passage of current yields an electric field in the transverse direction even without an external magnetic field – this is known as the anomalous Hall effect (AHE). This effect can act as a convenient probe of spin ordering, magnetic textures, spin-orbit coupling, and band topology in solids, and can be further […]

    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 […]

    Quantum State Tomography with Machine Learning

    Summary   An important challenge in building a quantum computer is quantifying the level of control obtained in the preparation of a quantum state. The state of a quantum device is characterized from experimental measurements, using a procedure known as tomography. Exact tomography requires a vast amount of computer resources, making it prohibitive for quantum […]

    Portable Quantum Dot Measurement System

    Summary Detecting heavy metals in water is essential to ensure clean drinking water and appropriate regulatory decisions following an accident (e.g., a spill) or an emergency. Traditionally, high-sensitivity detection of heavy metals requires bulky and costly (to purchase and operate) lab-based instruments. We propose developing a palm-sized, element-specific, highly-sensitive, battery-operated, smartphone-controlled system for on-site measurement […]
