Reconstructing the phonon distribution of trapped ions out of the Lamb-Dicke regime

Characterizing the phonon distribution of trapped-ion motional states is essential for many applications in quantum information processing, but existing methods become ill-conditioned beyond the Lamb-Dicke regime. We overcome this limitation by recasting phonon-state reconstruction as a filter-function inversion problem. Using composite pulses on the carrier and multiple sidebands, we engineer well-conditioned filters in phonon space to characterize pure and mixed states, study heating dynamics, and reconstruct Fock states up to $n=250$.

Programmable generation of arbitrary continuous-variable anharmonicities and nonlinear couplings

Harmonic oscillators are promising continuous-variable (CV) quantum resources because their infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces allow for resource-efficient quantum computing and simulation. To reach their full potential, CV platforms need to be able to efficiently implement non-Gaussian operations. Bosonic quantum-signal-processing schemes have emerged as attractive methods to construct arbitrary non-Gaussian operations; however, these schemes are restricted to single modes, i.e., the implementation of anharmonic potentials. Here, we introduce trigonometric-gate-implemented Fourier synthesis (TGIFS), a method for implementing arbitrary non-Gaussian operations applicable to both single- and multi-mode systems, allowing the generation of both anharmonicities and nonlinear multi-mode couplings. TGIFS synthesizes a target Hamiltonian by decomposing it into a Fourier series whose terms are implemented via bosonic quantum signal processing, which uses a discrete-variable (DV) system to induce a nonlinearity in the CV system. Our hybrid CV-DV protocol allows for the direct simulation of a broad range of CV phenomena (such as those in lattice gauge theory, chemical dynamics, and quantum chaos) and provides a richer toolbox for CV circuit compilation.

Programmable quantum simulation of anharmonic dynamics

Continuous-variable-discrete-variable (CV-DV) quantum simulators offer a natural route to simulating bosonic dynamics relevant to many branches of physics and chemistry. However, programmable simulation of arbitrary dynamics is an outstanding challenge. In particular, simulating anharmonic dynamics, which is ubiquitous across the physical sciences, is challenging due to the highly harmonic nature of oscillators used in CV-DV simulators. Here, we experimentally demonstrate programmable CV-DV quantum simulation of anharmonic dynamics in a range of double-well potentials, implemented in a trapped-ion system. We synthesise the time-evolution operators using a bosonic-quantum-signal-processing subroutine, which allows the potential to be tuned between experiments by controlling classical experimental parameters. We observe coherent dynamics in various double-well potentials, where a wavepacket tunnels through the potential barrier, and we suppress this effect by programmatically introducing asymmetry.

Quantum-Enhanced Multi-Parameter Sensing in a Single Mode

Precision metrology underpins scientific and technological advancements. Quantum metrology offers a pathway to surpass classical sensing limits by leveraging quantum states and measurement strategies. However, measuring multiple incompatible observables suffers from quantum backaction, where measurement of one observable pollutes a subsequent measurement of the other. This is a manifestation of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle for two non-commuting observables, such as position and momentum. Here, we demonstrate measurements of small changes in position and momentum where the uncertainties are simultaneously reduced below the standard quantum limit (SQL). We measure $\textit{modular observables}$ using tailored, highly non-classical states that ideally evade measurement backactions. The states are deterministically prepared in the single mode of the mechanical motion of a trapped ion using an optimal quantum control protocol. Our experiment uses grid states to measure small changes in position and momentum and shows a metrological gain of up to 5.1(5)~dB over the simultaneous SQL. Using an adaptive-phase estimation algorithm with Bayesian inference, we estimate these displacements with a combined variance of 2.6(1.1)~dB below the SQL. Furthermore, we examine simultaneously estimating $\textit{number}$ and $\textit{phase}$, which are the polar counterparts of position and momentum. This is performed by preparing a novel quantum resource -- number-phase states -- and we demonstrate a metrological gain over their SQL. The combination of quantum control and multi-parameter quantum metrology marks a significant step towards unprecedented precision with applications ranging from fundamental physics to advanced quantum technologies.

Frame-Based Filter-Function Formalism for Quantum Characterization and Control

We introduce a theoretical framework for resource-efficient characterization and control of non-Markovian open quantum systems, which naturally allows for the integration of given, experimentally motivated, control capabilities and constraints. This is achieved by developing a transfer filter-function formalism based on the general notion of a frame and by appropriately tying the choice of frame to the available control. While recovering the standard frequency-based filter-function formalism as a special instance, this control-adapted generalization affords intrinsic flexibility and, crucially, it permits an efficient representation of the relevant control matrix elements and dynamical integrals if an appropriate finite-size frame condition is obeyed. Our frame-based formulation overcomes important limitations of existing approaches. In particular, we show how to implement quantum noise spectroscopy in the presence of nonstationary noise sources, and how to effectively achieve control-driven model reduction for noise-optimized prediction and quantum gate design.

Quantum state tomography with time-continuous measurements: reconstruction with resource limitations

We propose and analyze quantum state estimation (tomography) using continuous quantum measurements with resource limitations, allowing the global state of many qubits to be constructed from only measuring a few. We give a proof-of-principle investigation demonstrating successful tomographic reconstruction of an arbitrary initial quantum state for three different situations: single qubit, remote qubit, and two interacting qubits. The tomographic reconstruction utilizes only a continuous weak probe of a single qubit observable, a fixed coupling Hamiltonian, together with single-qubit controls. In the single qubit case, a combination of the continuous measurement of an observable and a Rabi oscillation is sufficient to find all three unknown qubit state components. For two interacting qubits, where only one observable of the first qubit is measured, the control Hamiltonian can be implemented to transfer all quantum information to the measured observable, via the qubit-qubit interaction and Rabi oscillation controls applied locally on each qubit. We discuss different sets of controls by analyzing the unitary dynamics and the Fisher information matrix of the estimation in the limit of weak measurement, and simulate tomographic results numerically. As a result, we obtained reconstructed state fidelities in excess of 0.98 with a few thousand measurement runs.
