Quantum States Protection under Environmental Noise

All realistic quantum systems are inevitably in contact with the environment. Suppressing theimpact of environmental noise is a critical challenge in cutting-edge quantum technologies. In thiswork, we introduce and systematically analyze a scheme for the protection of quantum states againstamplitude-damping (AD) noise based on the circuit structure called the quantum filter. Filtrationcircuits employing single- and multi-control qubits are examined, and their capability to enhance stateprotection fidelity while preserving a high success probability is discussed. Moreover, for many-bodyqubit states, those with a fixed quantum Hamming weight can be perfectly protected against ADnoise, whereas states with the largest Hamming weight difference set a lower bound on the achievableprotection fidelity. Our work provides a resource-efficient route for quantum state protection withoutrequiring full quantum error correction.

Graphene Josephson Junctions for Engineering Motional Quanta

We propose a hybrid quantum device based on the graphene Josephson junctions, where the vibrational degrees of freedom of a graphene membrane couple to the superconducting circuits. The flexural mode-controlled tunneling of the Cooper pairs introduces a strong and tunable coupling even at the zero-point fluctuations level. By employing this interaction, we show that a parametric process can be efficiently implemented. We then investigate foundational and technological applications of our hybrid device empowered by nonlinear interactions, with fast generation of non-classical mechanical states, and critically enhanced quantum sensing under suitable quantum control. Our work provides the possibility of employing the graphene motional degree of freedom for quantum information processing in circuit quantum nanomechanical structures.

Quantum Purification for Amplitude Damping Noise

Noise poses a fundamental challenge to quantum information processing, with amplitude-damping (AD) noise being particularly detrimental. Preserving high-fidelity quantum systems therefore relies critically on effective error correction and purification methods. In this work, we introduce a novel approach for mitigating AD noise that can be applied to both state and channel purification. Our method achieves a substantial enhancement in the fidelity of affected states or channels while maintaining a low resource overhead, requiring only one or two ancilla qubits in combination with two Clifford gates, and exhibits a relatively high success probability. This approach provides a practical and scalable framework for addressing AD noise in realistic quantum systems.

Quantum heat engine in the optomechanical system with mechanical parametric drive

We consider a quantum Otto-type heat engine constructed in an optomechanical system with which the cavity is chosen as the working substance. The cavity can effectively be coupled with hot thermal baths in nonequilibrium steady-states via optomechanical interaction. The mechanical mode with parametric drive fuels the cavity, and the utilization efficiency of energy is discussed. To obtain higher efficiency in finite time evolution, we use the shortcuts-to-adiabaticity method in work generation processes. The modified thermal efficiencies are obtained by numerical simulation. Such a system provides potential applications in quantum heat transfer and energy utilization in quantum devices.
