Controller-decoder system requirements derived by implementing Shor's algorithm with surface code

Yaniv Kurman, Lior Ella, Nir Halay +2

Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is regarded as the most promising path to quantum advantage. The success of QEC relies on achieving quantum gate fidelities below the error threshold…

Towards a second generation of metascintillators using the Purcell effect

Avner Shultzman, Roman Schütz, Yaniv Kurman +12

This study focuses on advancing metascintillators to break the 100 ps barrier and approach the 10 ps target. We exploit nanophotonic features, specifically the Purcell effect, to s…

Benchmarking the ability of a controller to execute quantum error corrected non-Clifford circuits

Yaniv Kurman, Lior Ella, Ramon Szmuk +4

Reaching fault-tolerant quantum computation relies on the successful implementation of non-Clifford circuits with quantum error correction (QEC). In QEC, quantum gates and measurem…

Coherently amplified ultrafast imaging using a free-electron interferometer

Tomer Bucher, Harel Nahari, Hanan Herzig Sheinfux +18

Accessing the low-energy non-equilibrium dynamics of materials and their polaritons with simultaneous high spatial and temporal resolution has been a bold frontier of electron micr…

Purcell-enhanced X-ray scintillation

Yaniv Kurman, Neta Lahav, Roman Schuetz +9

Scintillation materials convert high-energy radiation to optical light through a complex multi-stage process. The last stage of the process is light emission via spontaneous emissi…

Free-electron superfluorescence: collective optical dynamics at deep-subwavelength resolution

Orr Be'er, Alexey Gorlach, Alina Nage +5

Long-range coherence and correlations between electrons in solids are the cornerstones for developing future quantum materials and devices. In 1954, Dicke described correlated spon…

Observation of the Stimulated Quantum Cherenkov Effect

Saar Nehemia, Raphael Dahan, Michael Shentcis +8

As charged particles surpass the speed of light in an optical medium they produce radiation - analogously to the way jet planes surpass the speed of sound and produce a sonic boom.…
