Solid neon as a noise-resilient host for electron qubits above 100 mK

Solid neon can be used as a solid host for single-electron qubits, and at temperatures of around 10 mK, electron-on-solid-neon charge qubits exhibit long coherence times and high operation fidelities. However, systematic characterization of the noise features of such systems is needed for the development of scalable quantum information architectures. Here, we show that solid neon can be used as a noise-resilient host for electron qubits above 100 mK. We examine the resilience of solid neon against charge and thermal noise when electron-on-solid-neon charge qubits are operated away from the charge-insensitive sweet spot and at elevated temperatures. We show that the extracted high-frequency charge noise density of electron-on-solid-neon qubits, projected as voltage fluctuations on nearby electrodes, is between $10^{-4}$ and $10^{-6}~\mathrm{μV^2/Hz}$ at 0.01 to 1 MHz, which is comparable with common semiconductor hosts. We also show that the electron-on-solid-neon charge qubits operating around 5 GHz frequencies can maintain echo coherence times of over 1 $μ$s at temperatures up to 400 mK.

Addressing spins at the clock transitions with a frequency- and bandwidth-tunable superconducting resonator

Solid-state spin ensembles addressed via superconducting circuits are promising candidates for quantum memory applications, offering multimodal storage capability and second-long coherence times at their clock transition. Implementing practical memory schemes requires dynamic control over both the resonator frequency and bandwidth. In this letter, we report measurements of a superconducting resonator whose frequency can be tuned by passing a DC current through the high-kinetic-inductance thin film, and whose bandwidth can be tuned by parametric coupling to a low-Q buffer resonator. Using this resonator, we address an ensemble of bismuth donors at their clock transition, measuring a Hahn-echo coherence time of 450 ms. We demonstrate RF driving of the bismuth donor hyperfine transitions, as well as dynamic bandwidth control of the resonator.

Analytical solutions for optimal photon absorption into inhomogeneous spin memories

We investigate for optimal photon absorption a quantum electrodynamical model of an inhomogeneously-broadened spin ensemble coupled to a single-mode cavity. Solutions to this problem under experimental assumptions are developed in the Schrödinger picture without using perturbation theory concerning the cavity-spin interactions. Furthermore, we exploit the possibility of modulating the frequency and coupling rate of the resonator. We consider a one-photon input pulse and show some optimal scenarios, where exact formulas and numerical results are obtained for the absorption probabilities and the optimal pulse shapes. In particular, if the external loss dominates the internal loss of the cavity, we find the optimal cooperativity for different parameters and identify cases where absorption with a success probability larger than $99\%$ is achieved.

A coherent nanomechanical oscillator driven by single-electron tunnelling

A single-electron transistor incorporated as part of a nanomechanical resonator represents an extreme limit of electron-phonon coupling. While it allows for fast and sensitive electromechanical measurements, it also introduces backaction forces from electron tunnelling which randomly perturb the mechanical state. Despite the stochastic nature of this backaction, under conditions of strong coupling it is predicted to create self-sustaining coherent mechanical oscillations. Here, we verify this prediction using time-resolved measurements of a vibrating carbon nanotube transistor. This electromechanical oscillator has intriguing similarities with a laser. The single-electron transistor, pumped by an electrical bias, acts as a gain medium while the resonator acts as a phonon cavity. Despite the unconventional operating principle, which does not involve stimulated emission, we confirm that the output is coherent, and demonstrate other laser behaviour including injection locking and frequency narrowing through feedback.

Measuring carbon nanotube vibrations using a single-electron transistor as a fast linear amplifier

We demonstrate sensitive and fast electrical measurements of a carbon nanotube mechanical resonator. The nanotube is configured as a single-electron transistor, whose conductance is a sensitive transducer for its own displacement. Using an impedance-matching circuit followed by a cryogenic amplifier, the vibrations can be monitored in real time. The sensitivity of this continuous displacement measurement approaches within a factor 470 of the standard quantum limit.

Five-Partite Entanglement Generation in A High-Q Microresonator

We propose to produce five-partite entanglement via cascaded four-wave mixing in a high-Q microresonator that may become a key to future one-way quantum computation on chip. A theoretical model is presented for the underlying continuous-variable entanglement among the generated comb modes that is expansible to more complicated scenarios. We analyze the entanglement condition when the van Loock and Furusawa criteria are violated, and discuss the device parameters for potential experimental realization that may be utilized to build an integrated compact five-partite entanglement generator. The proposed approach exhibits great potential for future large-scale integrated full optical quantum computation on chip.
