Entanglement genesis by ancilla-based parity measurement in 2D circuit QED
We present an indirect two-qubit parity meter in planar circuit quantum
electrodynamics, realized by discrete interaction with an ancilla and a
subsequent projective ancilla measurement with a dedicated, dispersively
coupled resonator. Quantum process tomography and successful entanglement by
measurement demonstrate that the meter is intrinsically quantum non-demolition.
Separate interaction and measurement steps allow commencing subsequent data
qubit operations in parallel with ancilla measurement, offering time savings
over continuous schemes.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures; supplemental material with 5 figure
Reversing quantum trajectories with analog feedback
We demonstrate the active suppression of transmon qubit dephasing induced by
dispersive measurement, using parametric amplification and analog feedback. By
real-time processing of the homodyne record, the feedback controller reverts
the stochastic quantum phase kick imparted by the measurement on the qubit. The
feedback operation matches a model of quantum trajectories with measurement
efficiency , consistent with the result obtained by
postselection. We overcome the bandwidth limitations of the amplification chain
by numerically optimizing the signal processing in the feedback loop and
provide a theoretical model explaining the optimization result.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, and Supplementary Information (7 figures
Nanopositioning of a diamond nanocrystal containing a single NV defect center
Precise control over the position of a single quantum object is important for
many experiments in quantum science and nanotechnology. We report on a
technique for high-accuracy positioning of individual diamond nanocrystals. The
positioning is done with a home-built nanomanipulator under real-time scanning
electron imaging, yielding an accuracy of a few nanometers. This technique is
applied to pick up, move and position a single NV defect center contained in a
diamond nanocrystal. We verify that the unique optical and spin properties of
the NV center are conserved by the positioning process.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures; high-resolution version available at

A Flexible and Modular Framework for Implementing Infrastructures for Global Computing
We present a Java software framework for building infrastructures to support the development of applications for systems where mobility and network awareness are key issues. The framework is particularly useful to develop run-time support for languages oriented towards global computing. It enables platform designers to customize communication protocols and network architectures and guarantees transparency of name management and code mobility in distributed environments. The key features are illustrated by means of a couple of simple case studies
Energy spectrum of the relativistic Dirac-Morse problem
We derive an elegant analytic formula for the energy spectrum of the
relativistic Dirac-Morse problem, which has been solved recently. The new
formula displays the properties of the spectrum more vividly.Comment: Replaced with a more potrable PDF versio
In-Plane Magnetic Field Induced Anisotropy of 2D Fermi Contours and the Field Dependent Cyclotron Mass
The electronic structure of a 2D gas subjected to a tilted magnetic field,
with a strong component parallel to the GaAs/AlGaAs interface and a weak
component oriented perpendicularly, is studied theoretically. It is shown that
the parallel field component modifies the originally circular shape of a Fermi
contour while the perpendicular component drive an electron by the Lorentz
force along a Fermi line with a cyclotron frequency given by its shape. The
corresponding cyclotron effective mass is calculated self-consistently for
several concentrations of 2D carriers as a function of the in-plane magnetic
field. The possibility to detect its field-induced deviations from the zero
field value experimentally is discussed.Comment: written in LaTeX, 9 pages, 4 figures (6 pages) in 1 PS file

Probing dynamics of an electron-spin ensemble via a superconducting resonator
We study spin relaxation and diffusion in an electron-spin ensemble of
nitrogen impurities in diamond at low temperature (0.25-1.2 K) and polarizing
magnetic field (80-300 mT). Measurements exploit mode- and
temperature-dependent coupling of hyperfine-split sub-ensembles to the
resonator. Temperature-independent spin linewidth and relaxation time suggest
that spin diffusion limits spin relaxation. Depolarization of one sub-ensemble
by resonant pumping of another indicates fast cross-relaxation compared to spin
diffusion, with implications on use of sub-ensembles as independent quantum
memories.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, and Supplementary Information (2 figures
