First Passage Times for Continuous Quantum Measurement Currents

Michael J. Kewming, Anthony Kiely, Steve Campbell +1

The First Passage Time (FPT) is the time taken for a stochastic process to reach a desired threshold. In this letter we address the FPT of the stochastic measurement current in the…

Powering an autonomous clock with quantum electromechanics

Oisin Culhane, Michael J. Kewming, Alessandro Silva +2

We theoretically analyse an autonomous clock comprising a nanoelectromechanical system, which undergoes self-oscillations driven by electron tunnelling. The periodic mechanical mot…

Current fluctuations in open quantum systems: Bridging the gap between quantum continuous measurements and full counting statistics

Gabriel T. Landi, Michael J. Kewming, Mark T. Mitchison +1

Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form of a stochastic and correlated time series which conveys crucial information about the und…

Quantum Kernel Evaluation via Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference

Cassandra Bowie, Sally Shrapnel, Michael Kewming

One of the fastest growing areas of interest in quantum computing is its use within machine learning methods, in particular through the application of quantum kernels. Despite this…

Effect of Measurement Backaction on Quantum Clock Precision Studied with a Superconducting Circuit

Xin He, Prasanna Pakkiam, Adil A. Gangat +3

We theoretically and experimentally study the precision of a quantum clock near zero temperature, explicitly accounting for the effect of continuous measurement. The clock is creat…

Comment on "Thermodynamic Principle for Quantum Metrology"

Shane Dooley, Michael J. Kewming, Mark T. Mitchison +1

In Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 200501 (2022) the authors consider the thermodynamic cost of quantum metrology. One of the main results is $\mathcal{S} \geq \log(2) \| h_λ\|^{-2} F_Q [ψ_λ…

Diverging current fluctuations in critical Kerr resonators

Michael J. Kewming, Mark T. Mitchison, Gabriel T. Landi

The parametrically pumped Kerr model describes a driven-dissipative nonlinear cavity, whose nonequilibrium phase diagram features both continuous and discontinuous quantum phase tr…

Measurement based estimator scheme for continuous quantum error correction

Sangkha Borah, Bijita Sarma, Michael Kewming +3

Canonical discrete quantum error correction (DQEC) schemes use projective von Neumann measurements on stabilizers to discretize the error syndromes into a finite set, and fast unit…

Entropy production and fluctuation theorems in a continuously monitored optical cavity at zero temperature

M. J. Kewming, S. Shrapnel

Fluctuation theorems allow one to make generalised statements about the behaviour of thermodynamic quantities in systems that are driven far from thermal equilibrium. In this artic…

Measurement Based Feedback Quantum Control With Deep Reinforcement Learning for Double-well Non-linear Potential

Sangkha Borah, Bijita Sarma, Michael Kewming +2

Closed loop quantum control uses measurement to control the dynamics of a quantum system to achieve either a desired target state or target dynamics. In the case when the quantum H…

Robust and Efficient High-dimensional Quantum State Tomography

Markus Rambach, Mahdi Qaryan, Michael Kewming +3

The exponential growth in Hilbert space with increasing size of a quantum system means that accurately characterising the system becomes significantly harder with system dimension…

Hiding Ignorance Using High Dimensions

M. J. Kewming, S. Shrapnel, A. G. White +1

The absence of information -- entirely or partly -- is called ignorance. Naturally, one might ask if some ignorance of a whole system will imply some ignorance of its parts. Our cl…

Indefinite Causal Order in a Quantum Switch

K. Goswami, C. Giarmatzi, M. Kewming +4

In quantum mechanics events can happen in no definite causal order: in practice this can be verified by measuring a causal witness, in the same way that an entanglement witness ver…
