Quantum Vacuum Nonlinearities in Laser Interferometers

Zain Mehdi, Joseph J. Hope, Simon A. Haine

We propose all-optical tests of photon-photon interactions in the matter vacuum using standing-wave laser interferometers, which do not require external magnetic fields and use con…

Radial Fast Entangling Gates Under Micromotion in Trapped-Ion Quantum Computers

Phoebe Grosser, Monica Gutierrez Galan, Isabelle Savill-Brown +7

Micromotion in radio-frequency ion traps is generally considered detrimental for quantum logic gates, and is typically minimized in state-of-the-art experiments. However, as a dete…
