Scalable quantum error correction code on a ring topology of qubits
Quantum error correction is an important ingredient for scalable quantum
computing. Stabilizer codes are one of the most promising and straightforward
ways to correct quantum errors, since they do not require excessive complexity
of physical qubits, are convenient for logical operations, and improve
performance with increasing the involved qubits number. Here, we propose a
linear scalable code of the permutative stabilizers for small distances on the
ring architecture, which takes into account the topological features of the
superconducting platform. We present the way to construct the quantum circuit
of the code and provide numerical simulation that demonstrate the exponential
logical error rate suppression.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure

Noise induced oscillations and coherence resonance in a generic model of the nonisothermal chemical oscillator
Oscillating chemical reactions are common in biological systems and they also occur in artificial non-biological systems. Generally, these reactions are subject to random fluctuations in environmental conditions which translate into fluctuations in the values of physical variables, for example, temperature. We formulate a mathematical model for a nonisothermal minimal chemical oscillator containing a single negative feedback loop and study numerically the effects of stochastic fluctuations in temperature in the absence of any deterministic limit cycle or periodic forcing. We show that noise in temperature can induce sustained limit cycle oscillations with a relatively narrow frequency distribution and some characteristic frequency. These properties differ significantly depending on the noise correlation. Here, we have explored white and colored (correlated) noise. A plot of the characteristic frequency of the noise induced oscillations as a function of the correlation exponent shows a maximum, therefore indicating the existence of autonomous stochastic resonance, i.e. coherence resonance
High-fidelity transmon coupler activated CCZ gate on fluxonium qubits
The Toffoli gate takes a special place in the quantum information theory. It
opens up a path for efficient implementation of complex quantum algorithms.
Despite tremendous progress of the quantum processors based on the
superconducting qubits, realization of a high-fidelity three-qubit operation is
still a challenging problem. Here, we propose a novel way to perform a
high-fidelity CCZ gate on fluxoniums capacitively connected via a transmon
qubit, activated by a microwave pulse on the coupler. The main advantages of
the approach are relative quickness, simplicity of calibration and significant
suppression of the unwanted longitudinal ZZ interaction. We provide numerical
simulation of 95-ns long gate of higher than 99.99% fidelity with realistic
circuit parameters in the noiseless model and estimate an error of about 0.25%
under the conventional decoherence rates.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, 3 table
Thermal noise of folding mirrors
Current gravitational wave detectors rely on the use of Michelson interferometers. One crucial limitation of their sensitivity is the thermal noise of their optical components. Thus, for example fluctuational deformations of the mirror surface are probed by a laser beam being reflected from the mirrors at normal incidence. Thermal noise models are well evolved for that case but mainly restricted to single reflections. In this work we present the effect of two consecutive reflections under a non-normal incidence onto mirror thermal noise. This situation is inherent to detectors using a geometrical folding scheme such as GEO\,600. We revise in detail the conventional direct noise analysis scheme to the situation of non-normal incidence allowing for a modified weighting funtion of mirror fluctuations. An application of these results to the GEO\,600 folding mirror for Brownian, thermoelastic and thermorefractive noise yields an increase of displacement noise amplitude by 20\% for most noise processes. The amplitude of thermoelastic substrate noise is increased by a factor 4 due to the modified weighting function. Thus the consideration of the correct weighting scheme can drastically alter the noise predictions and demands special care in any thermal noise design process
Impact of activation cross-section uncertainties on the tritium production in the HFTM specimen cells
The prediction of the tritium production is required for handling procedures of samples, safety & maintenance and licensing of the International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility (IFMIF). A comparison of the evaluated tritium production cross-sections with available experimental data from the EXFOR data base has shown insufficient validation. And significant discrepancies in evaluated cross-section libraries, including lack of tritium production reactions for some important elements, were found.
Here, we have addressed an uncertainty analysis to draw conclusions on the reliability of the tritium prediction under the potential impact of activation cross-section uncertainties. We conclude that there is not sufficient experimental validation of the evaluated tritium production cross-sections, especially for iron and sodium. Therefore a dedicated experimental validation program for those elements should be desirable
