Energetics of a single qubit gate

J Stevens, D Szombati, M Maffei, C Elouard… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Qubits are physical, a quantum gate thus not only acts on the information carried by the qubit
but also on its energy. What is then the corresponding flow of energy between the qubit and …

Beating the 3 db limit for intracavity squeezing and its application to nondemolition qubit readout

W Qin, A Miranowicz, F Nori - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
While the squeezing of a propagating field can, in principle, be made arbitrarily strong, the
cavity-field squeezing is subject to the well-known 3 dB limit, and thus has limited …

Frequency comb from a single driven nonlinear nanomechanical mode

JS Ochs, DKJ Boneß, G Rastelli, M Seitner, W Belzig… - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
Phononic frequency combs have attracted increasing attention both as a qualitatively new
type of nonlinear phenomena in vibrational systems and from the point of view of …

Creation of nonclassical states of light in a chiral waveguide

K Kleinbeck, H Busche, N Stiesdal, S Hofferberth… - Physical Review A, 2023 - APS
Creating nonclassical states of light from simple quantum systems together with classical
resources is a challenging problem. We show how chiral emitters under a coherent drive …

Simple, reliable, and noise-resilient continuous-variable quantum state tomography with convex optimization

I Strandberg - Physical Review Applied, 2022 - APS
Precise reconstruction of unknown quantum states from measurement data, a process
commonly called quantum state tomography, is a crucial component in the development of …

Quantum efficiency, purity and stability of a tunable, narrowband microwave single-photon source

Y Lu, A Bengtsson, JJ Burnett, B Suri… - npj Quantum …, 2021 - nature.com
We demonstrate an on-demand source of microwave single photons with 71–99% intrinsic
