Photonic Analog Quantum Simulation of (1+1)-Dimensional Lattice Gauge Theory with Dynamical Matter

Nathan R. Gonzalez, Thea Budde, Klemen Kersic +5

We propose a photonic scheme for analog quantum simulation of a Lattice Gauge Theory (LGT) with dynamical matter based on the Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard (JCH) model. Here, an a…

Cryogenic Systems for Quantum Photonic Technologies: A Practical Review

Alex H. Rubin, Victoria A. Norman, Marina Radulaski

While nonclassical light sources are fundamental to quantum communication and computing, solid-state platforms like color centers and quantum dots require cryogenic temperatures to…

Seeing the forbidden: overcoming optical selection rules through nanophotonic integration

Alex H. Rubin, Vytautas Žalandauskas, Pranta Saha +7

Optically addressable spin defects in silicon carbide, including the neutral divacancy (VV) and the negative nitrogen-vacancy (NV), are among leading building blocks of sol…

Digital Quantum Simulations of the Non-Resonant Open Tavis-Cummings Model

Aidan N. Sims, Dhrumil Patel, Aby Philip +4

The open Tavis--Cummings model consists of quantum emitters interacting with a common cavity mode, accounts for losses and decoherence, and is frequently explored for quantum i…

Triangular cross-section grating couplers for integrated quantum nanophotonic hardware in silicon carbide

Pranta Saha, Alex H. Rubin, Sridhar Majety +2

We design, fabricate, and characterize fishbone grating couplers for triangular cross-section photonics in silicon carbide compatible with color center integration. The periodic an…

Observation of Photon Blockade in a Tavis-Cummings System

Brian Marinelli, Alex H. Rubin, Victoria A. Norman +10

We observe blockade of microwave photons in a Tavis-Cummings system comprising a superconducting cavity and up to transmon qubits. The effect is characterized with photon num…
