  Volume 8 Issue 4 Pages 256-257

  Year (down) 2012 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.  
  Volume 8 Issue 2 Pages 113-114

  Title Local probing of propagating acoustic waves in a gigahertz echo chamber Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2012 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.  
  Volume 8 Issue 4 Pages 338-343  
  Keywords fromIPMRAS  
  Abstract In the same way that micro-mechanical resonators resemble guitar strings and drums, surface acoustic waves resemble the sound these instruments produce, but moving over a solid surface rather than through air. In contrast with oscillations in suspended resonators, such propagating mechanical waves have not before been studied near the quantum mechanical limits. Here, we demonstrate local probing of surface acoustic waves with a displacement sensitivity of 30amRMSHz-1/2 and detection sensitivity on the single-phonon level after averaging, at a frequency of 932MHz. Our probe is a piezoelectrically coupled single-electron transistor, which is sufficiently fast, non-destructive and localized to enable us to track pulses echoing back and forth in a long acoustic cavity, self-interfering and ringing the cavity up and down. We project that strong coupling to quantum circuits will enable new experiments, and hybrids using the unique features of surface acoustic waves. Prospects include quantum investigations of phonon-phonon interactions, and acoustic coupling to superconducting qubits for which we present favourable estimates.

  Year (down) 2012 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.  
  Volume 8 Issue 2 Pages 107-108  
  Keywords fromIPMRAS  
  Abstract Two-qubit entanglement can be preserved by partially measuring the qubits to leave them in a 'lethargic' state. The original state is restored using quantum measurement reversal after the qubits have travelled through a decoherence channel.

  Title Protecting entanglement from decoherence using weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2012 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.  
  Volume 8 Issue 2 Pages 117-120  
  Keywords fromIPMRAS  
  Abstract Decoherence, often caused by unavoidable coupling with the environment, leads to degradation of quantum coherence. For a multipartite quantum system, decoherence leads to degradation of entanglement and, in certain cases, entanglement sudden death. Tackling decoherence, thus, is a critical issue faced in quantum information, as entanglement is a vital resource for many quantum information applications including quantum computing, quantum cryptography, quantum teleportation and quantum metrology. Here, we propose and demonstrate a scheme to protect entanglement from decoherence. Our entanglement protection scheme makes use of the quantum measurement itself for actively battling against decoherence and it can effectively circumvent even entanglement sudden death.

  Title High-fidelity quantum driving Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2012 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.  
  Volume 8 Issue 2 Pages 147-152  
  Keywords fromIPMRAS  
  Abstract Accurately controlling a quantum system is a fundamental requirement in quantum information processing and the coherent manipulation of molecular systems. The ultimate goal in quantum control is to prepare a desired state with the highest fidelity allowed by the available resources and the experimental constraints. Here we experimentally implement two optimal high-fidelity control protocols using a two-level quantum system comprising Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices. The first is a short-cut protocol that reaches the maximum quantum-transformation speed compatible with the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. In the opposite limit, we realize the recently proposed transitionless superadiabatic protocols in which the system follows the instantaneous adiabatic ground state nearly perfectly. We demonstrate that superadiabatic protocols are extremely robust against control parameter variations, making them useful for practical applications.

  Title Multimode quantum interference of photons in multiport integrated devices Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2011 Publication Nature Communications Abbreviated Journal Nat. Comm.  
  Volume 2 Issue 224 Pages 6  
  Keywords fromIPMRAS  
  Abstract Photonics is a leading approach in realizing future quantum technologies and recently, optical waveguide circuits on silicon chips have demonstrated high levels of miniaturization and performance. Multimode interference (MMI) devices promise a straightforward implementation of compact and robust multiport circuits. Here, we show quantum interference in a 2×2 MMI coupler with visibility of V=95.6+/-0.9%. We further demonstrate the operation of a 4×4 port MMI device with photon pairs, which exhibits complex quantum interference behaviour. We have developed a new technique to fully characterize such multiport devices, which removes the need for phase-sensitive measurements and may find applications for a wide range of photonic devices. Our results show that MMI devices can operate in the quantum regime with high fidelity and promise substantial simplification and concatenation of photonic quantum circuits.

  Title Wide-band quantum interface for visible-totelecommunication wavelength conversion Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2011 Publication Nature Communications Abbreviated Journal Nat. Comm.  
  Volume 2 Issue Pages 5  
  Keywords fromIPMRAS  
  Abstract Although near-infrared photons in telecommunication bands are required for long-distance quantum communication, various quantum information tasks have been performed by using visible photons for the past two decades. Recently, such visible photons from diverse media including atomic quantum memories have also been studied. Optical frequency down-conversion from visible to telecommunication bands while keeping the quantum states is thus required for bridging such wavelength gaps. Here we report demonstration of a quantum interface of frequency down-conversion from visible to telecommunication bands by using a nonlinear crystal, which has a potential to work over wide bandwidths, leading to a high-speed interface of frequency conversion. We achieved the conversion of a picosecond visible photon at 780 nm to a 1,522-nm photon, and observed that the conversion process retained entanglement between the down-converted photon and another photon.

  Title Integrated photonic quantum gates for polarization qubits Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2011 Publication Nature Communications Abbreviated Journal Nat. Comm.  
  Volume 2 Issue 566 Pages 6  
  Keywords fromIPMRAS  
  Abstract The ability to manipulate quantum states of light by integrated devices may open new perspectives both for fundamental tests of quantum mechanics and for novel technological applications. However, the technology for handling polarization-encoded qubits, the most commonly adopted approach, is still missing in quantum optical circuits. Here we demonstrate the first integrated photonic controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate for polarization-encoded qubits. This result has been enabled by the integration, based on femtosecond laser waveguide writing, of partially polarizing beam splitters on a glass chip. We characterize the logical truth table of the quantum gate demonstrating its high fidelity to the expected one. In addition, we show the ability of this gate to transform separable states into entangled ones and vice versa. Finally, the full accessibility of our device is exploited to carry out a complete characterization of the CNOT gate through a quantum process tomography.

  Title Experimental loss-tolerant quantum coin flipping Type Journal Article
  Year (down) 2011 Publication Nature Communications Abbreviated Journal Nat. Comm.  
  Volume 2 Issue 561 Pages 7  
  Keywords fromIPMRAS  
  Abstract Coin flipping is a cryptographic primitive in which two distrustful parties wish to generate a random bit to choose between two alternatives. This task is impossible to realize when it relies solely on the asynchronous exchange of classical bits: one dishonest player has complete control over the final outcome. It is only when coin flipping is supplemented with quantum communication that this problem can be alleviated, although partial bias remains. Unfortunately, practical systems are subject to loss of quantum data, which allows a cheater to force a bias that is complete or arbitrarily close to complete in all previous protocols and implementations. Here we report on the first experimental demonstration of a quantum coin-flipping protocol for which loss cannot be exploited to cheat better. By eliminating the problem of loss, which is unavoidable in any realistic setting, quantum coin flipping takes a significant step towards real-world applications of quantum communication.
