Integration of diamond nanobeams with SnVs on Al2O3 waveguides for scalable quantum photonic chip application

Tin vacancy (SnV) centers in diamond are promising solid state qubits for integrated quantum photonics. Here, we fabricate and characterize a diamond on Al2O3 dual taper waveguide structure containing SnV centers, demonstrating optical coupling between the diamond nanobeam and the underlying Al2O3 waveguide. The devices are realized using a bilayer fabrication approach compatible with wafer scale lithography. Clear guided SnV- emission is observed in all optically active devices, indicating effective optical coupling in the integrated structure. These results demonstrate a scalable fabrication approach toward integrating diamond color centers with photonic waveguides.

Ratio Divergence Learning Using Target Energy in Restricted Boltzmann Machines: Beyond Kullback--Leibler Divergence Learning

We propose ratio divergence (RD) learning for discrete energy-based models, a method that utilizes both training data and a tractable target energy function. We apply RD learning to restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), which are a minimal model that satisfies the universal approximation theorem for discrete distributions. RD learning combines the strength of both forward and reverse Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) learning, effectively addressing the "notorious" issues of underfitting with the forward KLD and mode-collapse with the reverse KLD. Since the summation of forward and reverse KLD seems to be sufficient to combine the strength of both approaches, we include this learning method as a direct baseline in numerical experiments to evaluate its effectiveness. Numerical experiments demonstrate that RD learning significantly outperforms other learning methods in terms of energy function fitting, mode-covering, and learning stability across various discrete energy-based models. Moreover, the performance gaps between RD learning and the other learning methods become more pronounced as the dimensions of target models increase.

Physics-Inspired Optimization for Quadratic Unconstrained Problems Using a Digital Annealer

The Fujitsu Digital Annealer (DA) is designed to solve fully connected quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) problems. It is implemented on application-specific CMOS hardware and currently solves problems of up to 1024 variables. The DA's algorithm is currently based on simulated annealing; however, it differs from it in its utilization of an efficient parallel-trial scheme and a dynamic escape mechanism. In addition, the DA exploits the massive parallelization that custom application-specific CMOS hardware allows. We compare the performance of the DA to simulated annealing and parallel tempering with isoenergetic cluster moves on two-dimensional and fully connected spin-glass problems with bimodal and Gaussian couplings. These represent the respective limits of sparse versus dense problems, as well as high-degeneracy versus low-degeneracy problems. Our results show that the DA currently exhibits a time-to-solution speedup of roughly two orders of magnitude for fully connected spin-glass problems with bimodal or Gaussian couplings, over the single-core implementations of simulated annealing and parallel tempering Monte Carlo used in this study. The DA does not appear to exhibit a speedup for sparse two-dimensional spin-glass problems, which we explain on theoretical grounds. We also benchmarked an early implementation of the Parallel Tempering DA. Our results suggest an improved scaling over the other algorithms for fully connected problems of average difficulty with bimodal disorder. The next generation of the DA is expected to be able to solve fully connected problems up to 8192 variables in size. This would enable the study of fundamental physics problems and industrial applications that were previously inaccessible using standard computing hardware or special-purpose quantum annealing machines.
