Scalable quantum memory in the ultrastrong coupling regime
Circuit quantum electrodynamics, consisting of superconducting artificial
atoms coupled to on-chip resonators, represents a prime candidate to implement
the scalable quantum computing architecture because of the presence of good
tunability and controllability. Furthermore, recent advances have pushed the
technology towards the ultrastrong coupling regime of light-matter interaction,
where the qubit-resonator coupling strength reaches a considerable fraction of
the resonator frequency. Here, we propose a qubit-resonator system operating in
that regime, as a quantum memory device and study the storage and retrieval of
quantum information in and from the Z2 parity-protected quantum memory, within
experimentally feasible schemes. We are also convinced that our proposal might
pave a way to realize a scalable quantum random-access memory due to its fast
storage and readout performances.Comment: We have updated the title, abstract and included a new section on the

Simulating spin-charge separation with light
In this work we show that stationary light-matter excitations generated
inside a hollow one-dimensional waveguide filled with atoms, can be made to
generate a photonic two-component Lieb Liniger model. We explain how to prepare
and drive the atomic system to a strongly interacting regime where spin-charge
separation could be possible. We then proceed by explaining how to measure the
corresponding effective spin and charge densities and velocities through
standard optical methods based in measuring dynamically the emitted photon
intensities or by analyzing the photon spectrum. The relevant interactions
exhibit the necessary tunability both to generate and efficiently observe spin
charge separation with current technology.Comment: 4 pages. Comments welcom
Creation of quantum error correcting codes in the ultrastrong coupling regime
We propose to construct large quantum graph codes by means of superconducting
circuits working at the ultrastrong coupling regime. In this physical scenario,
we are able to create a cluster state between any pair of qubits within a
fraction of a nanosecond. To exemplify our proposal, creation of the five-qubit
and Steane codes is numerically simulated. We also provide optimal operating
conditions with which the graph codes can be realized with state-of-the-art
superconducting technologies.Comment: Added a new appendix sectio
Floquet stroboscopic divisibility in non-Markovian dynamics
We provide a general discussion of the Liouvillian spectrum for a system
coupled to a non-Markovian bath using Floquet theory. This approach is suitable
when the system is described by a time-convolutionless master equation with
time-periodic rates. Surprisingly, the periodic nature of rates allow us to
have a stroboscopic divisible dynamical map at discrete times, which we refer
to as Floquet stroboscopic divisibility. We illustrate the general theory for a
Schr\"odinger cat which is roaming inside a non-Markovian bath, and demonstrate
the appearance of stroboscopic revival of the cat at later time after its
death. Our theory may have profound implications in entropy production in
non-equilibrium systems.Comment: We changed the title and explained in more detail the definition of
non-Markovian dynamics used in the manuscrip
Separable states and the geometric phases of an interacting two-spin system
It is known that an interacting bipartite system evolves as an entangled
state in general, even if it is initially in a separable state. Due to the
entanglement of the state, the geometric phase of the system is not equal to
the sum of the geometric phases of its two subsystems. However, there may exist
a set of states in which the nonlocal interaction does not affect the
separability of the states, and the geometric phase of the bipartite system is
then always equal to the sum of the geometric phases of its subsystems. In this
paper, we illustrate this point by investigating a well known physical model.
We give a necessary and sufficient condition in which a separable state remains
separable so that the geometric phase of the system is always equal to the sum
of the geometric phases of its subsystems.Comment: 13 page
Coherent control of long-distance steady state entanglement in lossy resonator arrays
We show that coherent control of the steady-state long-distance entanglement
between pairs of cavity-atom systems in an array of lossy and driven coupled
resonators is possible. The cavities are doped with atoms and are connected
through wave guides, other cavities or fibers depending on the implementation.
We find that the steady-state entanglement can be coherently controlled through
the tuning of the phase difference between the driving fields. It can also be
surprisingly high in spite of the pumps being classical fields. For some
implementations where the connecting element can be a fiber, long-distance
steady state quantum correlations can be established. Furthermore, the maximal
of entanglement for any pair is achieved when their corresponding direct
coupling is much smaller than their individual couplings to the third party.
This effect is reminiscent of the establishment of coherence between otherwise
uncoupled atomic levels using classical coherent fields. We suggest a method to
measure this entanglement by analyzing the correlations of the emitted photons
from the array and also analyze the above results for a range of values of the
system parameters, different network geometries and possible implementation
technologies.Comment: Similar to published version. We welcome comments and suggestion
Kinematic approach to the mixed state geometric phase in nonunitary evolution
A kinematic approach to the geometric phase for mixed quantal states in
nonunitary evolution is proposed. This phase is manifestly gauge invariant and
can be experimentally tested in interferometry. It leads to well-known results
when the evolution is unitary.Comment: Minor changes; journal reference adde
Operator-sum representation of time-dependent density operators and its applications
We show that any arbitrary time-dependent density operator of an open system
can always be described in terms of an operator-sum representation regardless
of its initial condition and the path of its evolution in the state space, and
we provide a general expression of Kraus operators for arbitrary time-dependent
density operator of an -dimensional system. Moreover, applications of our
result are illustrated through several examples.Comment: 4 pages, no figure, brief repor
