Multifunctional Nonreciprocal Quantum Device Based on Superconducting Quantum Circuit

Nonreciprocal devices, such as isolator or circulator, are crucial for information routing and processing in quantum networks. Traditional nonreciprocal devices, which rely on the application of bias magnetic fields to break time-reversal symmetry and Lorentz reciprocity, tend to be bulky and require strong static magnetic fields. This makes them challenging to implement in highly integrated large-scale quantum networks. Therefore, we design a multifunctional nonreciprocal quantum device based on the integration and tunable interaction of superconducting quantum circuit. This device can switch between two-port isolator, three-port symmetric circulator, and antisymmetric circulator under the control of external magnetic flux. Furthermore, both isolator and circulator can achieve nearly perfect unidirectional signal transmission. We believe that this scalable and integrable nonreciprocal device could provide new insight for the development of large-scale quantum networks.

Highly Scalable Quantum Router with Frequency-Independent Scattering Spectra

Optical quantum routers play a crucial role in quantum networks and have been extensively studied in both theory and experiment, leading to significant advancements in their performance. However, these routers impose stringent requirements for achieving desired routing results, as the incident photon frequency must be in strict resonance with one or several specific frequencies. To address this challenge, we propose an efficient quantum router scheme composed of semi-infinite coupled-resonator waveguide (CRW) and a giant atom. The single-channel router scheme enables stable output with 100% transfer rate over the entire energy band of the CRW. Leveraging this intriguing result, we further propose a multi-channel router scheme that possesses high stability and universality, while also being capable of performing various functionalities. The complete physical explanation of the underlying mechanism for this intriguing result is also presented. We hope that quantum router with output results unaffected by the frequency of the incoming information carriers presents a more reliable solution for the implementation of quantum networks.

Entanglement enhancement of two giant atoms with multiple connection points in bidirectional-chiral quantum waveguide-QED system

We study the entanglement generation of two giant atoms within a one-dimensional bidirectional-chiral waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED) system, where the initial state of the two giant atoms are $|e_a,g_b\rangle $. Here, each giant atom is coupled to the waveguide through three connection points, with the configurations divided into five types based on the arrangement of coupling points between the giant atoms and the waveguide: separate, fully braided, partially braided, fully nested, and partially nested. We explore the entanglement generation process within each configuration in both nonchiral and chiral coupling cases. It is demonstrated that entanglement can be controlled as needed by either adjusting the phase shift or selecting different configurations. For nonchiral coupling, the entanglement of each configuration exhibits steady state properties attributable to the presence of dark state. In addition, we find that steady-state entanglement can be obtained at more phase shifts in certain configurations by increasing the number of coupling points between the giant atoms and the bidirectional waveguide. In the case of chiral coupling, the entanglement is maximally enhanced compared to the one of nonchiral case. Especially in fully braided configuration, the concurrence reaches its peak value 1, which is robust to chirality. We further show the influence of atomic initial states on the evolution of interatomic entanglement. Our scheme can be used for entanglement generation in chiral quantum networks of giant-atom waveguide-QED systems, with potential applications in quantum networks and quantum communications.
