Active interference suppression in frequency-division-multiplexed quantum gates via off-resonant microwave tones

The increasing number of control lines connecting quantum processors to external electronics constitutes a major bottleneck in the realization of large-scale quantum computers. Frequency-division multiplexing is expected to enable control of multiple qubits through a single microwave cable; however, interference from off-resonant microwave tones hinders precise qubit control. Here, we propose an active interference suppression method for frequency-division-multiplexed simultaneous gates on microwave-controlled qubits. We demonstrate that the deliberate incorporation of off-resonant microwave tones improves single-qubit gate fidelity. In particular, the gate infidelity scales inversely with the square of the number of microwave tones when off-resonant orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal tones are incorporated. Furthermore, we show that fast oscillations, neglected under the rotating wave approximation, degrade the gate fidelity, and that this degradation can be mitigated through optimized frequency allocation. The proposed approach is simple and effective for improving the performance of frequency-division-multiplexed quantum gates.

Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing for simultaneous gate operations on multiple qubits via a shared control line

The increasing number of qubits in quantum processors necessitates a corresponding increase in the number of control lines between the processor, which is typically operated at cryogenic temperatures, and external electronics. Scaling poses significant challenges in terms of the thermal loads, forming a major bottleneck in the realization of large-scale quantum computers. In this study, we analyze simultaneous gate operations on multiple qubits using microwaves transmitted via a single cable in a frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) scheme. By employing rectangular control microwave pulses, we reveal the contribution of drive frequency spacing to gate fidelity. Through theoretical and numerical analyses, we demonstrate that orthogonal and quasi-orthogonal microwave signals suppress interference in simultaneously driven qubits, thereby ensuring high gate fidelity. Additionally, we provide design guidelines for key parameters, including pulse length, number of multiplexed microwave signals, and rotation angle, to achieve precise qubit operations. Our findings enable a scalable FDM-based microwave control scheme suitable for quantum processors with a large number of qubits.

Fabrication of oriented NV center arrays in diamond via femtosecond laser writing and reorientation

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are widely recognized as highly promising solid-state quantum sensors due to their long room temperature coherence times and atomic-scale size, which enable exceptional sensitivity and nanoscale spatial resolution under ambient conditions. Ultrafast laser writing has demonstrated the deterministic spatial control of individual NV$^-$ centers, however, the resulting random orientation of the defect axis limits the magnetic field sensitivity and signal contrast. Here, we present an all-optical approach for reorienting laser-written NV$^-$ centers to lie along a specific crystallographic axis using femtosecond laser annealing. This technique enables the creation of spatially ordered NV$^-$ arrays with uniform orientation, for enhancing performance for quantum magnetometry. We achieve deterministic alignment along the optical axis in both (100)- and (111)-oriented diamond substrates, paving the way for scalable, high-performance quantum devices based on orientation-controlled NV$^-$ centers.

Weighted Stochastic Riccati Equations for Generalization of Linear Optimal Control

This paper presents weighted stochastic Riccati (WSR) equations for designing multiple types of optimal controllers for linear stochastic systems. The stochastic system matrices are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) to represent uncertainty and noise in the systems. However, it is difficult to design multiple types of controllers for systems with i.i.d. matrices while the stochasticity can invoke unpredictable control results. A critical limitation of such i.i.d. systems is that Riccati-like algebraic equations cannot be applied to complex controller design. To overcome this limitation, the proposed WSR equations employ a weighted expectation of stochastic algebraic equations. The weighted expectation is calculated using a weight function designed to handle statistical properties of the control policy. Solutions to the WSR equations provide multiple policies depending on the weight function, which contain the deterministic optimal, stochastic optimal, and risk-sensitive linear (RSL) control. This study presents two approaches to solve the WSR equations efficiently: calculating WSR difference equations iteratively and employing Newton's method. Moreover, designing the weight function yields a novel controller termed the robust RSL controller that has both a risk-sensitive policy and robustness to randomness occurring in stochastic control design.

Nanomechanical system meets ultra-small, robust, and ultra-low-powered digital communication receiver

Nanomechanical systems offer a versatile platform for both fundamental science and industrial applications. Resonating vibration has been demonstrated to enable an ultrasensitive detection of various physical quantities, with emerging applications including signal processing, biological detection and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics. It has also been shown that the mechanical vibration of a nanoscale cantilever can be used to detect electromagnetic analogue-modulated waves. However, signals obtained with nanoscale receivers are so weak that the data transfer often fails; to the best of our knowledge, no successful practical demonstration has yet been reported. Here, we present the first experimental demonstration of the use of nanomechanical systems for digital data transfer with a digital image. Furthermore, our fabrication method achieved a tiny gap around field emitter of vibrational nano-antenna, which enables the receiver to work with quite a low power consumption, on the order of 10nW.

Noise-induced switching from a symmetry-protected shallow metastable state

We consider escape from a metastable state of a nonlinear oscillator driven close to triple its eigenfrequency. The oscillator can have three stable states of period-3 vibrations and a zero-amplitude state. Because of the symmetry of period-tripling, the zero-amplitude state remains stable as the driving increases. However, it becomes shallow in the sense that the rate of escape from this state exponentially increases, while the system still lacks detailed balance. We find the escape rate and show how it scales with the parameters of the oscillator and the driving. The results facilitate using nanomechanical, Josephson-junction based, and other mesoscopic vibrational systems for studying, in a well-controlled setting, the rates of rare events in systems lacking detailed balance. They also describe how fluctuations spontaneously break the time-translation symmetry of a driven oscillator.

Simple Design on Nanoscale Receivers Using CNT Cantilevers

A nanoscale receiver utilizing the cantilever of a carbon nanotube has been developed to detect phase information included in transmitted signals. The existing receiver consists of a phase detector and demodulator which employ a reference wave and carrier signal, respectively. This paper presents a design method to simplify the receiver in structure with enhancing the performance for the phase detection. The reference wave or carrier signal is not needed in the receiver via the proposed design method.

Driven nonlinear nanomechanical resonators as digital signal detectors

Because of their nonlinearity, vibrational modes of resonantly driven nanomechanical systems have coexisting stable states of forced vibrations in a certain range of the amplitude of the driving force. Depending on its phase, which encodes binary information, a signal at the same frequency increases or decreases the force amplitude. The resulting force amplitude can be outside the range of bistability. The values of the mode amplitude differ significantly on the opposite sides of the bistability region. Therefore the mode amplitude is very sensitive to the signal phase. This suggests using a driven mode as a bi-directional bifurcation amplifier, which switches in the opposite directions depending on the signal phase and provides an essentially digital output. We study the operation of the amplifier near the critical point where the width of the bistability region goes to zero and thus the threshold of the signal amplitude is low. We also develop an analytical technique and study the error rate near the threshold. The results apply to a broad range of currently studied systems and extend to micromechanical systems and nonlinear electromagnetic cavities.

CiNCT: Compression and retrieval for massive vehicular trajectories via relative movement labeling

In this paper, we present a compressed data structure for moving object trajectories in a road network, which are represented as sequences of road edges. Unlike existing compression methods for trajectories in a network, our method supports pattern matching and decompression from an arbitrary position while retaining a high compressibility with theoretical guarantees. Specifically, our method is based on FM-index, a fast and compact data structure for pattern matching. To enhance the compression, we incorporate the sparsity of road networks into the data structure. In particular, we present the novel concepts of relative movement labeling and PseudoRank, each contributing to significant reductions in data size and query processing time. Our theoretical analysis and experimental studies reveal the advantages of our proposed method as compared to existing trajectory compression methods and FM-index variants.

Self-Fulfilling Signal of an Endogenous State in Network Congestion Games

We consider the problem of coordination via signaling in network congestion games to improve social welfare deteriorated by incomplete information about traffic flow. Traditional studies on signaling, which focus on exogenous factors of congestion and ignore congestion externalities, fail to discuss the oscillations of traffic flow. To address this gap, we formulate a problem of designing a coordination signal on endogenous information about traffic flow and introduce a it self-fulfilling characteristic of a signal that guarantees an outcome flow consistent with the signal itself without causing the unwanted oscillation. An instance of the self-fulfilling signal is shown in the case of a Gaussian signal distribution. In addition, we show simple numerical examples. The results reveal how a self-fulfilling signal suppresses the oscillation and simultaneously improves social welfare through improved network efficiency.

Fluctuation spectra of weakly driven nonlinear systems

We show that in periodically driven systems, along with the delta-peak at the driving frequency, the spectral density of fluctuations displays extra features. These can be peaks or dips with height quadratic in the driving amplitude, for weak driving. For systems where inertial effects can be disregarded, the peaks/dips are generally located at zero frequency and at the driving frequency. The shape and intensity of the spectra very sensitively depend on the parameters of the system dynamics. To illustrate this sensitivity and the generality of the effect, we study three types of systems: an overdamped Brownian particle (e.g., an optically trapped particle), a two-state system that switches between the states at random, and a noisy threshold detector. The analytical results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.

Singular probability distribution of shot-noise driven systems

We study the stationary probability distribution of a system driven by shot noise. We find that, both in the overdamped and underdamped regime, the coordinate distribution displays power-law singularities in its central part. For sufficiently low rate of noise pulses they correspond to distribution peaks. We find the positions of the peaks and the corresponding exponents. In the underdamped regime the peak positions are given by a geometric progression. The energy distribution in this case also displays multiple peaks with positions given by a geometric progression. Such structure is a signature of the shot-noise induced fluctuations. The analytical results are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations.
