Sub-universal variational circuits for combinatorial optimization problems
Gal Weitz, Lirandë Pira, Chris Ferrie +1
Quantum variational circuits have gained significant attention due to their applications in the quantum approximate optimization algorithm and quantum machine learning research. Th…
Nonlinear Sideband Cooling to a Cat State of Motion
Bradley D Hauer, Joshua Combes, John D. Teufel
The ability to prepare a macroscopic mechanical resonator into a quantum superposition state is an outstanding goal of cavity optomechanics. Here, we propose a technique to generat…
Homodyne measurement with a Schrödinger cat state as a local oscillator
Joshua Combes, Austin P. Lund
Homodyne measurements are a widely used quantum measurement. Using a coherent state of large amplitude as the local oscillator, it can be shown that the quantum homodyne measuremen…
A Projection Operator-based Newton Method for the Trajectory Optimization of Closed Quantum Systems
Jieqiu Shao, Joshua Combes, John Hauser +1
Quantum optimal control is an important technology that enables fast state preparation and gate design. In the absence of an analytic solution, most quantum optimal control methods…
Master equations and quantum trajectories for squeezed wave packets
Jonathan A. Gross, Ben Baragiola, T. M. Stace +1
The interaction between matter and squeezed light has mostly been treated within the approximation that the field correlation time is small. Methods for treating squeezed light wit…
Building a Quantum Engineering Undergraduate Program
Abraham Asfaw, Alexandre Blais, Kenneth R. Brown +34
The rapidly growing quantum information science and engineering (QISE) industry will require both quantum-aware and quantum-proficient engineers at the bachelor's level. We provide…
