Power dependence of electric dipole spin resonance

We develop a formalism of electric dipole spin resonance (EDSR) based on slanting magnetic field, where we especially investigate the microwave amplitude dependence. With increasing microwave amplitude, the Rabi frequency increases linearly for a spin confined in a harmonic potential. How- ever, when the spin is confined in the double-well potential, the Rabi frequency shows sub-linear dependence with increasing the microwave amplitude.Comment: 4 pages, conference paper of APPC1

Wigner Functions for Arbitrary Quantum Systems

The possibility of constructing a complete, continuous Wigner function for any quantum system has been a subject of investigation for over 50 years. A key system that has served to illustrate the difficulties of this problem has been an ensemble of spins. Here we present a general and consistent framework for constructing Wigner functions exploiting the underlying symmetries in the physical system at hand. The Wigner function can be used to fully describe any quantum system of arbitrary dimension or ensemble size.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

Radiative corrections and quantum gates in molecular systems

We propose a method for quantum information processing using molecules coupled to an external laser field. This utilizes molecular interactions, control of the external field and an effective energy shift of the doubly-excited state of two coupled molecules. Such a level shift has been seen in the two-photon resonance experiments recently reported in Ref. [1]. Here we show that this can be explained in terms of the QED Lamb shift. We quantify the performance of the proposed quantum logic gates in the presence of dissipative mechanisms. The unitary transformations required for performing one- and two-qubit operations can be implemented with present day technology.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Updated to correct important missing referenc

Resource Reduction in Multiplexed High-Dimensional Quantum Reed-Solomon Codes

Quantum communication technologies will play an important role in quantum information processing in the near future as we network devices together. However, their implementation is still a challenging task due to both loss and gate errors. Quantum error correction codes are one important technique to address this issue. In particular, the Quantum Reed-Solomon codes are known to be quite efficient for quantum communication tasks. The high degree of physical resources required, however, makes such a code difficult to use in practice. A recent technique called quantum multiplexing has been shown to reduce resources by using multiple degrees of freedom of a photon. In this work, we propose a method to decompose multi-controlled gates using fewer $\rm{CX}$ gates via this quantum multiplexing technique. We show that our method can significantly reduce the required number of $\rm{CX}$ gates needed in the encoding circuits for the quantum Reed-Solomon code. Our approach is also applicable to many other quantum error correction codes and quantum algorithms, including Grovers and quantum walks.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figure

Coherent dynamics amongst ensembles of spatially and spectrally varying emitters in waveguide QED

Spectrally and spatially varying ensembles of emitters embedded into waveguide are ever-present in both well-established and emerging technologies. If control of collective excitations can be attained, a plethora of coherent quantum dynamics and applications may be realized on-chip in the scalable paradigm of waveguide quantum electrodynamics (WQED). Here, we demonstrate how inhomogeneous ensembles embedded into waveguides may be employed as single effective and coherent emitters. The symmetric excitation of localized and mescoscopic ensembles benefit from large collective waveguide coupling, allowing for near-unity and tailorable non-Lorentzian extinction of waveguide photons overcoming large inhomogeneous broadening. As an initial illustration possible in currently existing experiments, we demonstrate the classic recreation of the cavity QED (CQED) paradigm using ensembles of rare-earth ions as coherent mirrors and qubits. This work introduces coherent ensemble dynamics to WQED and extends the realm to spectrally tailorable emitters.Comment: 5 main text pages + 2 appendix pages. Comments welcome

Generation and processing of complex photon states with quantum frequency combs

The development of technologies for quantum information (QI) science demands the realization. and precise control of complex (multipartite and high dimensional) entangled systems on practical and scalable platforms. Quantum frequency combs (QFCs) represent a powerful tool towards this goal. They enable the generation of complex photon states within a single spatial mode as well as their manipulation using standard fiber-based telecommunication components. Here, we review recent progress in the development of QFCs, with a focus on results that highlight their importance for the realization of complex quantum states. In particular, we outline recent work on the use of integrated QFCs for the generation of high-dimensional multipartite optical cluster states - lying at the basis of measurement-based quantum computation. These results confirm that the QFC approach can provide a stable, practical, low-cost, and established platform for the development of quantum technologies, paving the way towards the advancement of QI science for out-of-the-lab applications, ranging from practical quantum computing to more secure communications
