Quantum-limited measurement of spin qubits via curvature coupling to a cavity

We revisit quantum capacitance from first principles to understand its potential for quantum-limited readout. We show that the readout speed can be unexpectedly fast with high kinetic inductance cavities while the qubit remains in a particularly immune state to noise.

Theory of barrier vs tilt exchange gate operations in spin-based quantum computing

Why is it better to operate exchange gates by tuning the tunnel gate instead of doing detuning? This paper shows, quantitately, that tunnel gates inflict less susceptibility to charge noise. So if you are making a quantum dot quantum computer, make sure your fast lines are on the barrier gates! We present a theory for understanding […]

Always-on Exchange-ONly (AEON) spin-based qubits

We introduce an always-on, exchange-only qubit made up of three localized semiconductor spins that offers a true “sweet spot” to fluctuations of the quantum dot energy levels.

Semiconductor-inspired superconducting quantum computing

Superconducting circuits offer tremendous design flexibility in the quantum regime culminating most recently in the demonstration of few qubit systems supposedly approaching the threshold for fault-tolerant quantum information processing. Competition in the solid-state comes from semiconductor qubits, where nature has bestowed some very useful properties which can be utilized for spin qubit based quantum computing. […]

How to make superconducting circuits out of a semiconductor

Superconducting circuits are exceptionally flexible, enabling many different devices from sensors to quantum computers. Separately, epitaxial semiconductor devices such as spin qubits in silicon offer more limited device variation but extraordinary quantum properties for a solid-state system. It might be possible to merge the two approaches, making single-crystal superconducting devices out of a semiconductor by […]

Introducing the phoniton: A sound-based analogue of cavity-QED, a tool for controlling sound at the quantum level

This work explores the possibility of a new, man-made quantum object: a hybridization of a localized, long-lived phonon (a quantum of sound) and a matter excitation. That this is possible is not obvious.

Physics of silicon quantum dot qubits

The spin of an electron in silicon may act as an information carrier in future information technologies, from quantum computers to spintronics. For quantum information applications, the spin of cold localized electrons in silicon can make a good quantum memory due to the purifiability of the spin environment (a spin-0 nuclear isotope is available) and […]

Quantum phase transitions of light

Quantum phase transitions of light

As physics and engineering extend their reach to the control of single excitations of nature, we gain the ability to explore and even design the interaction of matter and energy in fundamentally new ways. One of the most interesting opportunities this presents is controllable interactions between many quantum particles — such as electrons — which is traditionally the realm of condensed matter physics. The questions we asked ourselves were these: Can we also do this with light? Can it be useful? We show that the answer is YES!
