Continuous Measurement Boosted Adiabatic Quantum Thermal Machines

Bibek Bhandari, Andrew N. Jordan

We present a unified approach to study continuous measurement based quantum thermal machines in static as well as adiabatically driven systems. We investigate both steady state and…

Variational principle for optimal quantum controls in quantum metrology

Jing Yang, Shengshi Pang, Zekai Chen +2

We develop a variational principle to determine the quantum controls and initial state which optimizes the quantum Fisher information, the quantity characterizing the precision in…

Energetics of a Single Qubit Gate

Jeremy Stevens, Daniel Szombati, Maria Maffei +10

Qubits are physical, a quantum gate thus not only acts on the information carried by the qubit but also on its energy. What is then the corresponding flow of energy between the qub…

Optimal qubit circuits for quantum-enhanced telescopes

Robert Czupryniak, John Steinmetz, Paul G. Kwiat +1

We propose two optimal phase-estimation schemes that can be used for quantum-enhanced long-baseline interferometry. By using distributed entanglement, it is possible to eliminate t…

Experimental demonstration of continuous quantum error correction

William P. Livingston, Machiel S. Blok, Emmanuel Flurin +3

The storage and processing of quantum information are susceptible to external noise, resulting in computational errors that are inherently continuous A powerful method to suppress…

Efficiently Fuelling a Quantum Engine with Incompatible Measurements

Sreenath K. Manikandan, Cyril Elouard, Kater W. Murch +2

We propose a quantum harmonic oscillator measurement engine fueled by simultaneous quantum measurements of the non-commuting position and momentum quadratures of the quantum oscill…

Minimal two-body quantum absorption refrigerator

Bibek Bhandari, Andrew N. Jordan

We study the phenomenon of absorption refrigeration, where refrigeration is achieved by heating instead of work, in two different setups: a minimal set up based on coupled qubits,…

Continuous measurement of a qudit using dispersively coupled radiation

John Steinmetz, Debmalya Das, Irfan Siddiqi +1

We analyze the continuous monitoring of a qudit coupled to a cavity using both phase-preserving and phase-sensitive amplification. The quantum trajectories of the system are descri…

Enhanced weak-value amplification via photon recycling

Courtney Krafczyk, Andrew N. Jordan, Michael E. Goggin +1

In a quantum-noise limited system, weak-value amplification using post-selection normally does not produce more sensitive measurements than standard methods for ideal detectors: th…

Super-Heisenberg scaling in Hamiltonian parameter estimation in the long-range Kitaev chain

Jing Yang, Shengshi Pang, Adolfo del Campo +1

In quantum metrology, nonlinear many-body interactions can enhance the precision of Hamiltonian parameter estimation to surpass the Heisenberg scaling. Here, we consider the estima…

Enhanced on-chip frequency measurement using weak value amplification

John Steinmetz, Kevin Lyons, Meiting Song +2

We present an integrated design to precisely measure optical frequency using weak value amplification with a multi-mode interferometer. The technique involves introducing a weak pe…

Stochastic Path Integral Analysis of the Continuously Monitored Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

Tathagata Karmakar, Philippe Lewalle, Andrew N. Jordan

We consider the evolution of a quantum simple harmonic oscillator in a general Gaussian state under simultaneous time-continuous weak position and momentum measurements. We deduce…

Quantum routing with fast reversals

Aniruddha Bapat, Andrew M. Childs, Alexey V. Gorshkov +3

We present methods for implementing arbitrary permutations of qubits under interaction constraints. Our protocols make use of previous methods for rapidly reversing the order of qu…

Selective Excitation of Subwavelength Atomic Clouds

Rasoul Alaee, Akbar Safari, Robert W. Boyd

A dense cloud of atoms with randomly changing positions exhibits coherent and incoherent scattering. We show that an atomic cloud of subwavelength dimensions can be modeled as a si…

Direct tomography of high-dimensional density matrices for general quantum states of photons

Yiyu Zhou, Jiapeng Zhao, Darrick Hay +3

Quantum state tomography is the conventional method used to characterize density matrices for general quantum states. However, the data acquisition time generally scales linearly w…

A Triangle Governs Genuine Tripartite Entanglement

Songbo Xie, Joseph H. Eberly

A previously overlooked constraint for the distribution of entanglement in three-qubit systems is exploited for the first time and used to reveal a new genuine tripartite entanglem…
