Title Quantum physics: Environmental effects controlled Type Journal Article
Year (up) 2011 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.
Volume 7 Issue Pages 927–928
Keywords fromIPMRAS
Abstract An open quantum system loses its 'quantumness' when information about the state leaks into its surroundings. Researchers now show how this decoherence can be controlled between two incompatible regimes in the case of a single photon.

Title A single nitrogen-vacancy defect coupled to a nanomechanical oscillator Type Journal Article
Year (up) 2011 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.
Volume 7 Issue 11 Pages 879-883
Keywords fromIPMRAS
Abstract We position a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centre hosted in a diamond nanocrystal at the extremity of a SiC nanowire. This novel hybrid system couples the degrees of freedom of two radically different systems: a nanomechanical oscillator and a single quantum object. We probe the dynamics of the nano-resonator through time-resolved nanocrystal fluorescence and photon-correlation measurements, conveying the influence of a mechanical degree of freedom on a non-classical photon emitter. Moreover, by immersing the system in a strong magnetic field gradient, we induce a magnetic coupling between the nanomechanical oscillator and the NV electronic spin, providing nanomotion readout through a single electronic spin. Spin-dependent forces inherent to this coupling scheme are essential in a variety of active cooling and entanglement protocols used in atomic physics, and should now be within the reach of nanomechanical hybrid systems.

Title Superconducting devices: Quantum cups and balls Type Journal Article
Year (up) 2011 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.
Volume 7 Issue 8 Pages 594-595
Keywords fromIPMRAS
Abstract A single microwave photon in a superposition of two states of different frequency is now demonstrated using a superconducting quantum interference device to mediate the coupling between two harmonics of a resonator. Such quantum circuits bring closer the possibility of controlling photon-photon interactions at the single-photon level.

Title Experimental investigation of the uncertainty principle in the presence of quantum memory and its application to witnessing entanglement Type Journal Article
Year (up) 2011 Publication Nature Physics Abbreviated Journal Nat. Phys.
Volume 7 Issue 10 Pages 757-761
Keywords fromIPMRAS
Abstract Heisenberg's uncertainty principle provides a fundamental limitation on the ability of an observer holding classical information to predict the outcome when one of two measurements is performed on a quantum system. However, an observer with access to a particle (stored in a quantum memory) which is entangled with the system generally has a reduced uncertainty: indeed, if the particle and system are maximally entangled, the observer can perfectly predict the outcome of whichever measurement is chosen. This effect has recently been quantified in a new entropic uncertainty relation. Here we experimentally investigate this relation, showing its effectiveness as an efficient entanglement witness. We use entangled photon pairs, an optical delay line serving as a simple quantum memory and fast, active feed-forward. Our results quantitatively agree with the new uncertainty relation. Our technique acts as a witness for almost all entangled states in our experiment as we obtain lower uncertainties than would be possible without the entangled particle.
