A hybrid machine-learning algorithm for designing quantum experiments
L. O'Driscoll, R. Nichols, P. A. Knott
We introduce a hybrid machine-learning algorithm for designing quantum optics experiments that produce specific quantum states. Our algorithm successfully found experimental scheme…
Designing quantum experiments with a genetic algorithm
Rosanna Nichols, Lana Mineh, Jesús Rubio +2
We introduce a genetic algorithm that designs quantum optics experiments for engineering quantum states with specific properties. Our algorithm is powerful and flexible, and can ea…
Gaussian quantum resource theories
Ludovico Lami, Bartosz Regula, Xin Wang +3
We develop a general framework to assess capabilities and limitations of the Gaussian toolbox in continuous variable quantum information theory. Our framework allows us to characte…
Noisy frequency estimation with noisy probes
Agnieszka Górecka, Felix A. Pollock, Pietro Liuzzo-Scorpo +3
We consider frequency estimation in a noisy environment with noisy probes. This builds on previous studies, most of which assume that the initial probe state is pure, while the enc…
Multiparameter Gaussian Quantum Metrology
Rosanna Nichols, Pietro Liuzzo-Scorpo, Paul A. Knott +1
We investigate the ultimate precision achievable in Gaussian quantum metrology. We derive general analytical expressions for the quantum Fisher information matrix and for the measu…
Estimating phase with a random generator: Strategies and resources in multiparameter quantum metrology
Rozhin Yousefjani, Rosanna Nichols, Shahriar Salimi +1
Quantum metrology aims to exploit quantum phenomena to overcome classical limitations in the estimation of relevant parameters. We consider a probe undergoing a phase shift who…
Practical Quantum Metrology in Noisy Environments
Rosanna Nichols, Thomas R. Bromley, Luis A. Correa +1
The problem of estimating an unknown phase using two-level probes in the presence of unital phase-covariant noise and using finite resources is investigated. We introduce a si…
Preventing and Reversing Vacuum-Induced Optical Losses in High-Finesse Tantalum (V) Oxide Mirror Coatings
Dorian Gangloff, Molu Shi, Tailin Wu +11
We study the vacuum-induced degradation of high-finesse optical cavities with mirror coatings composed of SiO-TaO dielectric stacks, and present methods to protect…
