Design of nanophotonic circuits for autonomous subsystem quantum error correction
We reapply our approach to designing nanophotonic quantum memories to
formulate an optical network that autonomously protects a single logical qubit
against arbitrary single-qubit errors. Emulating the 9 qubit Bacon-Shor
subsystem code, the network replaces the traditionally discrete syndrome
measurement and correction steps by continuous, time-independent optical
interactions and coherent feedback of unitarily processed optical fields.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure
All-spin logic operations: Memory device and Reconfigurable computing
Exploiting spin degree of freedom of electron a new proposal is given to
characterize spin-based logical operations using a quantum interferometer that
can be utilized as a programmable spin logic device (PSLD). The ON and OFF
states of both inputs and outputs are described by {\em spin} state only,
circumventing spin-to-charge conversion at every stage as often used in
conventional devices with the inclusion of extra hardware that can eventually
diminish the efficiency. All possible logic functions can be engineered from a
single device without redesigning the circuit which certainly offers the
opportunities of designing new generation spintronic devices. Moreover we also
discuss the utilization of the present model as a memory device and suitable
computing operations with proposed experimental setups.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
Magnetic skyrmion logic gates: conversion, duplication and merging of skyrmions
Magnetic skyrmions, which are topological particle-like excitations in
ferromagnets, have attracted a lot of attention recently. Skyrmionics is an
attempt to use magnetic skyrmions as information carriers in next generation
spintronic devices. Proposals of manipulations and operations of skyrmions are
highly desired. Here, we show that the conversion, duplication and merging of
isolated skyrmions with different chirality and topology are possible all in
one system. We also demonstrate the conversion of a skyrmion into another form
of a skyrmion, i.e., a bimeron. We design spin logic gates such as the AND and
OR gates based on manipulations of skyrmions. These results provide important
guidelines for utilizing the topology of nanoscale spin textures as information
carriers in novel magnetic sensors and spin logic devices.Comment: 17 pages, 6 figure
