Proposal for witnessing non-classical light with the human eye

A. Dodel, A. Mayinda, E. Oudot +4

We give a complete proposal showing how to detect the non-classical nature of photonic states with naked eyes as detectors. The enabling technology is a sub-Poissonian photonic sta…

Quantum repeaters based on trapped ions with decoherence free subspace encoding

M. Zwerger, B. P. Lanyon, T. E. Northup +3

Quantum repeaters provide an efficient solution to distribute Bell pairs over arbitrarily long distances. While scalable architectures are demanding regarding the number of qubits…

Witnessing irreducible dimension

Wan Cong, Yu Cai, Jean-Daniel Bancal +1

The Hilbert space dimension of a quantum system is the most basic quantifier of its information content. Lower bounds on the dimension can be certified in a device-independent way,…

Robust quantum optimizer with full connectivity

Simon E. Nigg, Niels Loerch, Rakesh P. Tiwari

Quantum phenomena have the potential to speed up the solution of hard optimization problems. For example quantum annealing, based on the quantum tunneling effect, has recently been…

Demonstrating non-Abelian braiding of surface code defects in a five qubit experiment

James R. Wootton

Currently, the mainstream approach to quantum computing is through surface codes. One way to store and manipulate quantum information with these to create defects in the codes whic…

Poking holes and cutting corners to achieve Clifford gates with the surface code

Benjamin J. Brown, Katharina Laubscher, Markus S. Kesselring +1

The surface code is currently the leading proposal to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computation. Among its strengths are the plethora of known ways in which fault-tolerant Cliffor…

Resonant driving of a single photon emitter embedded in a mechanical oscillator

Mathieu Munsch, Andreas V. Kuhlmann, Davide Cadeddu +4

Coupling a microscopic mechanical resonator to a nano-scale quantum system enables control of the mechanical resonator via the quantum system, and vice versa. The coupling is usual…

A proposal for a minimal surface code experiment

James R. Wootton, Andreas Peter, Janos R. Winkler +1

Current quantum technology is approaching the system sizes and fidelities required for quantum error correction. It is therefore important to determine exactly what is needed for p…

Implementing and characterizing precise multi-qubit measurements

J. Z. Blumoff, K. Chou, C. Shen +12

There are two general requirements to harness the computational power of quantum mechanics: the ability to manipulate the evolution of an isolated system and the ability to faithfu…

Optomechanical Self-Oscillations in an Anharmonic Potential: Engineering a Nonclassical Steady State

Manuel Grimm, Christoph Bruder, Niels Lörch

We study self-oscillations of an optomechanical system, where coherent mechanical oscillations are induced by a driven optical or microwave cavity, for the case of an anharmonic me…

Bounding quantum gravity inspired decoherence using atom interferometry

Jiří Minář, Pavel Sekatski, Nicolas Sangouard

Hypothetical models have been proposed in which explicit collapse mechanisms prevent the superposition principle to hold at large scales. In particular, the model introduced by Ell…

Genuine quantum signatures in synchronization of anharmonic self-oscillators

Niels Lörch, Ehud Amitai, Andreas Nunnenkamp +1

We study the synchronization of a van der Pol self-oscillator with Kerr anharmonicity to an external drive. We demonstrate that the anharmonic, discrete energy spectrum of the quan…
