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

Zero kinetic energy-pulsed field ionization and resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization photoelectron spectroscopy: Ionization dynamics of Rydberg states in HBr

The results of rotationally resolved resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization photoelectron spectroscopy and zero kinetic energy‐pulsed field ionization studies on HBr via various rotational levels of the F^ 1Δ_2 and f^ 3Δ_2 Rydberg states are reported. These studies lead to an accurate determination of the lowest ionization threshold as 94 098.9±1 cm^(−1). Observed rotational and spin–orbit branching ratios are compared to the results of ab initio calculations. The differences between theory and experiment highlight the dominant role of rotational and spin–orbit interactions for the dynamic properties of the high‐n Rydberg states involved in the pulsed field ionization process

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 $\tilde{\eta} \approx 0.5$, 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

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 (compressed and uuencoded) available on request from [email protected], SM-JU-93-

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

Alterações em atributos do solo decorrentes da aplicação de nitrogênio e palha em sistema semeadura direta na cultura do milho.

Nos últimos anos, tem-se procurado elevar os teores de C orgânico do solo e, ao mesmo tempo, aumentar a produtividade das culturas. Neste contexto, o sistema semeadura direta (SSD) tem importante participação, principalmente na região dos Cerrados. Entretanto, para se alcançar altas produtividades, as gramíneas requerem a adição de doses elevadas de adubos nitrogenados. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar as alterações no solo decorrentes da aplicação de palha e de N em solo cultivado com milho por 10 anos (1991-2001) em SSD. O experimento foi desenvolvido na Embrapa-Milho e Sorgo, em Sete Lagoas-MG, em um Latossolo Vermelho distrófico típico sob cerrado. Os tratamentos constaram da combinação de palha sobre o solo (0, 3, 6, 9 e 12Mg ha-1 de matéria seca) dispostas nas parcelas, e de cinco níveis de N aplicados em cobertura (0, 40, 80, 120 e 160kg ha-1), na forma de uréia, dispostos nas subparcelas. Foram realizadas duas coletas de solo (antes e após uma calagem), nas profundidades de 0-0,025; 0,025-0,05; 0,05-0,10; 0,10-0,20; 0,20-0,40m. Análises químicas e físicas de rotina foram efetuadas usando-se métodos padrões. Os teores de C orgânico e de K foram influenciados pelas doses de palha e aumentaram à medida que se aumentou a aplicação de palha sobre o solo. A variação nas doses de N promoveu alterações no pH, nos teores de Ca, Mg e nas saturações por bases e por Al até a profundidade de 0,20m. A calagem superficial promoveu o aumento do pH do solo em profundidade e dos teores de Ca, até 0,20m, provavelmente devido à alta pluviosidade no período pós-calagem (1600mm em oito meses)

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

New non-unitary representations in a Dirac hydrogen atom

New non-unitary representations of the SU(2) algebra are introduced for the case of the Dirac equation with a Coulomb potential; an extra phase, needed to close the algebra, is also introduced. The new representations does not require integer or half integer labels. The set of operators defined are used to span the complete space of bound state eigenstates of the problem thus solving it in an essentially algebraic way
