Error Correction in a Distributed Quantum Computer

E. M. Ainley, A. Agrawal, T. Araki +12

Building fault-tolerant quantum computers with large numbers of logical qubits requires both scalable hardware architectures and error-correcting codes that make efficient use of p…

Efficient state estimation on quantum processors

Victor Gonzalez Avella, Abraham Vega Vargas, Tomas Merlo Vergara +6

We present two scalable and entanglement-free methods for estimating the collective state of an n-qubit quantum computer. The first method consists of a fixed set of five quantum c…

Multipartite Mixed-Species Entanglement over a Quantum Network

D. Main, P. Drmota, E. M. Ainley +9

We generate multipartite entangled states of two, three and four matter qubits, where the entanglement is distributed over macroscopic distances via a photonic network link. Trappe…

Multipartite Entanglement for Multi-node Quantum Networks

E. M. Ainley, A. Agrawal, D. Main +5

Scaling the number of entangled nodes in a quantum network is a challenge with significant implications for quantum computing, clock synchronisation, secure communications, and qua…

Experimental Quantum Advantage in the Odd-Cycle Game

P. Drmota, D. Main, E. M. Ainley +7

We report the first experimental demonstration of the odd-cycle game. We entangle two ions separated by ~2 m and the players use them to win the odd-cycle game with a probability ~…

Verifiable blind quantum computing with trapped ions and single photons

P. Drmota, D. P. Nadlinger, D. Main +9

We report the first hybrid matter-photon implementation of verifiable blind quantum computing. We use a trapped-ion quantum server and a client-side photonic detection system netwo…

Robust Quantum Memory in a Trapped-Ion Quantum Network Node

P. Drmota, D. Main, D. P. Nadlinger +8

We integrate a long-lived memory qubit into a mixed-species trapped-ion quantum network node. Ion-photon entanglement first generated with a network qubit in Sr-88 is transferred t…

A quantum network of entangled optical atomic clocks

B. C. Nichol, R. Srinivas, D. P. Nadlinger +5

Optical atomic clocks are our most precise tools to measure time and frequency. They enable precision frequency comparisons between atoms in separate locations to probe the space-t…

Experimental quantum key distribution certified by Bell's theorem

D. P. Nadlinger, P. Drmota, B. C. Nichol +12

Cryptographic key exchange protocols traditionally rely on computational conjectures such as the hardness of prime factorisation to provide security against eavesdropping attacks.…

Room Temperature Atomic Frequency Comb Memory for Light

D. Main, T. M. Hird, S. Gao +2

We demonstrate coherent storage and retrieval of pulsed light using the atomic frequency comb quantum memory protocol in a room temperature alkali vapour. We utilise velocity-selec…
