Yttrium ion as a platform for quantum information processing
Christopher N. Gilbreth, Dmytro Filin, Marianna S. Safronova +2
Engineering large-scale quantum computers which simultaneously provide high-fidelity quantum operations, low memory errors, low crosstalk, and reasonable resource usage remains an…
A Surface-Scaffolded Molecular Qubit
Tian-Xing Zheng, M. Iqbal Bakti Utama, Xingyu Gao +24
Fluorescent spin qubits are central building blocks of quantum technologies. Placing these qubits at surfaces maximizes coupling to nearby spins and fields, enabling nanoscale sens…
Unraveling vibronic interactions in molecules functionalized with optical cycling centers
Pawel Wojcik, Haowen Zhou, Taras Khvorost +7
We report detailed characterization of the vibronic interactions between the first two electronically excited states, A and B, in SrOPh (Ph = phenyl, -C6H5) and its deuterated coun…
Vibronic coupling limits the use of high-lying electronic states in complex molecules for laser cooling
Haowen Zhou, Pawel Wojcik, Guo-Zhu Zhu +7
Laser cooling of large, complex molecules is a long-standing goal, instrumental for enabling new quantum technology and precision measurements. A primary consideration for the feas…
Bottom-up approach to scalable growth of molecules capable of optical cycling
Guanming Lao, Taras Khvorost, Antonio Macias +10
Gas-phase molecules capable of repeatable, narrow-band spontaneous photon scattering are prized for direct laser cooling and quantum state detection. Recently, large molecules inco…
