    Presentation Details  Add to Schedule

   Keynote

   Realization of quantum systems that may be capable of outperforming the existing classical counterparts in executing useful tasks is a central challenge in quantum science and engineering. In this talk, I will describe two related examples of our recent work towards these goals. In the first example, I will describe the recent advances involving programmable, coherent manipulation of quantum many-body systems using atom arrays excited into Rydberg states. I will describe our recent technical upgrades that now allow the control over 200 atoms in two-dimensional arrays. Recent progress involving the exploration of exotic many-body phenomena, as well as realization and testing of quantum optimization algorithms using such systems, will be discussed. In the second example, I will report on our progress towards realization of quantum repeaters for long-distance quantum communication. Specifically, I will describe experimental realization of memory-enhanced quantum communication, which utilizes a solid-state spin memory integrated in a nanophotonic diamond resonator to implement asynchronous Bell-state measurements. This enables a four-fold increase in the secret key rate of measurement device independent quantum key distribution over the loss-equivalent direct-transmission method while operating at megahertz clock rates. Prospects for scaling up these techniques, including realization of larger quantum processors and quantum networks will be discussed.Authors: Mikhail Lukin, Harvard University

   Quantum Transduction for Superconducting Qubits Using Electro-optic SiGe/Si Waveguides

   Presenter: Hanhee Paik , IBM Watson Research Center YKT Lib

    Presentation Details  Add to Schedule

   Invited

   High efficiency microwave-optical transduction for quantum-state transfer remains an outstanding technical challenge. Resonant electro-optic transduction via three-wave mixing is an attractive solution, with a simple operating principle that does not rely on intermediate quantum states. However, the intrinsic optical and microwave losses of electro-optic materials with large Pockels coefficients have limited the conversion efficiency of existing devices. Here, we show that an optimal conversion efficiency can be achieved with a relatively weak linear electro-optic material, as long as both the optical and microwave quality factors are high. We then discuss specific designs for electro-optic quantum transducers based on superconducting microwave resonators coupled to SiGe/Si ring resonators. We theoretically show that applying an electric field to the SiGe/Si waveguides induces an effective Pockels effect, allowing three-wave mixing without introducing loss. Together with its excellent compatibility with superconducting qubit fabrication, these nonlinear optical properties promise to make the SiGe/Si platform an exciting avenue for quantum-state frequency conversion.Authors: Hanhee Paik, IBM Watson Research Center YKT Lib
