Ascertaining the influences of auxiliary qubits on the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering and its directions

Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen(EPR) steering is an example of nontrivial quantum nonlocality and characteristic in the non-classical world.The directivity(or asymmetry) is a fascinating trait of EPR steering,and it is different from other quantum nonlocalities.Here,we consider the strategy in which two atoms compose a two-qubit X state,and the two atoms are owned by Alice and Bob,respectively.The atom of Alice suffers from a reservoir,and the atom of Bob couples with a bit flip channel.The influences of auxiliary qubits on EPR steering and its directions are revealed by means of the entropy uncertainty relation.The results indicate that EPR steering declines with growing time t when adding fewer auxiliary qubits.The EPR steering behaves as damped oscillation when introducing more auxiliary qubits in the strong coupling regime.In the weak coupling regime,the EPR steering monotonously decreases as t increases when coupling auxiliary qubits.The increases in auxiliary qubits are responsible for the fact that the steerability from Alice to Bob(or from Bob to Alice) can be more effectively revealed.Notably,the introductions of more auxiliary qubits can change the situation that steerability from Alice to Bob is certain to a situation in which steerability from Bob to Alice is certain.

Effective Qubit Emerging from the Nanoheterointerface Two-Dimensional Electron Gas Photodynamics

An “Eigenstate Adjustment Autonomy” Model, permeated by the Nanosystem’s Fermi Level Pinning along with its rigid Conduction Band Discontinuity, compatible with pertinent Experimental Measurements, is being employed for studying how the Functional Eigenstate of the Two-Dimensional Electron Gas (2DEG) dwelling within the Quantum Well of a typical Semiconductor Nanoheterointerface evolves versus (cryptographically) selectable consecutive Cumulative Photon Dose values. Thus, it is ultimately discussed that the experimentally observed (after a Critical Cumulative Photon Dose) Phenomenon of 2DEG Negative Differential Mobility allows for the Nanosystem to exhibit an Effective Qubit Specific Functionality potentially conducive to (Telecommunication) Quantum Information Registering.

Coherent manipulation of a tunable hybrid qubit via microwave control

Hybrid qubits enable the hybridization of charge and spin degrees of freedom,which provides a way to realize both a relatively long coherence time and rapid qubit manipulation.Here,we use microwave driving to demonstrate the coherent operation of a tunable hybrid qubit,including X-rotation,Z-rotation,and rotation around an arbitrary axis in the X-Y panel of the Bloch sphere.Moreover,the coherence properties of the qubit and its tunability are studied.The measured coherence time of the X-rotation reaches~14.3 ns.While for the Z-rotation,the maximum decoherence time is~5.8 ns due to the larger sensitivity to noise.By employing the Hahn echo sequence to mitigate the influence of the low-frequency noise,we have improved the qubit coherence time from~5.8 ns to~15.0 ns.Our results contribute to a further understanding of the hybrid qubit and a step towards achieving high-fidelity qubit gates in the hybrid qubit.

Single-flux-quantum-based qubit control with tunable driving strength

Single-flux-quantum(SFQ)circuits have great potential in building cryogenic quantum-classical interfaces for scaling up superconducting quantum processors.SFQ-based quantum gates have been designed and realized.However,current control schemes are difficult to tune the driving strength to qubits,which restricts the gate length and usually induces leakage to unwanted levels.In this study,we design the scheme and corresponding pulse generator circuit to continuously adjust the driving strength by coupling SFQ pulses with variable intervals.This scheme not only provides a way to adjust the SFQ-based gate length,but also proposes the possibility to tune the driving strength envelope.Simulations show that our scheme can suppress leakage to unwanted levels and reduce the error of SFQ-based Clifford gates by more than an order of magnitude.

Entanglement properties of superconducting qubits coupled to a semi-infinite transmission line

Quantum entanglement, a key resource in quantum information processing, is reduced by interaction between the quantum system concerned and its unavoidable noisy environment. Therefore it is of particular importance to study the dynamical properties of entanglement in open quantum systems. In this work, we mainly focus on two qubits coupled to an adjustable environment, namely a semi-infinite transmission line. The two qubits' relaxations, through individual channels or collective channel or both, can be adjusted by the qubits' transition frequencies. We examine entanglement dynamics in this model system with initial Werner state, and show that the phenomena of entanglement sudden death and revival can be observed. Due to the hardness of preparing the Werner state experimentally, we introduce a new type of entangled state called pseudo-Werner state, which preserves as much entangling property as the Werner state, and more importantly,it is experiment friendly. Furthermore, we provide detailed procedures for generating pseudo-Werner state and studying entanglement dynamics with it, which can be straightforwardly implemented in a superconducting waveguide quantum electrodynamics system.

QubitE:用于知识图谱补全的量子嵌入模型

知识图谱补全任务通过预测知识图谱中缺失的事实补全知识图谱。基于量子的知识图谱嵌入(KGE)模型利用变分量子电路,通过测量量子比特状态的概率分布对三元组进行评分,评分高的三元组即为缺失的事实。但是目前基于量子的KGE要么在优化过程中失去了量子优势,矩阵酉性被破坏,要么需要大量参数用于存储量子态,从而导致过拟合和低性能。此外,这些方法忽略了对于理解模型性能必不可少的理论分析。为了解决性能问题和弥合理论差距,提出了QubitE模型:将实体嵌入作为量子位(单位复向量),将关系嵌入作为量子门(酉复矩阵),评分过程为复矩阵乘法,利用核方法进行优化。该模型的参数化方式能在优化中保持量子优势,时空复杂度为线性,甚至可以进一步实现基于语义的量子逻辑计算。此外,从理论上可以证明该模型具有完全表达性、关系模式推理能力和包含性等,有助于理解模型性能。实验表明,QubitE在一些基准知识图谱上可以取得与最先进的经典模型相当的结果。

Simple experimental scheme of teleporting a two-qubit state via linear optical elements

We propose a simple experimental scheme in which an unknown two-qubit state is faithfully and deterministically teleported from Alice to Bob. The scheme is constructed with four photons from parametric down conversion, linear optical elements, and conventional photon detectors, all of which are available in current technology. It is shown that the probability of successful teleportation ideally reaches 100% based on single-photon two-qubit-assisted Bell-state measurement, which can distinguish all four Bell-states simultaneously via conventional photon detectors. By generalizing the scheme, the teleportation of an unknown multi-qubit system can also be realized.

Deterministic joint remote state preparation of arbitrary single- and two-qubit states

In this paper, two novel schemes for deterministic joint remote state preparation（JRSP） of arbitrary single- and twoqubit states are proposed. A set of ingenious four-particle partially entangled states are constructed to serve as the quantum channels. In our schemes, two senders and one receiver are involved. Participants collaborate with each other and perform projective measurements on their own particles under an elaborate measurement basis. Based on their measurement results,the receiver can reestablish the target state by means of appropriate local unitary operations deterministically. Unit success probability can be achieved independent of the channel＇s entanglement degree.

Tunable coupling between Xmon qubit and coplanar waveguide resonator

Realization of a flexible and tunable coupling scheme among qubits is critical for scalable quantum information processing.Here,we design and characterize a tunable coupling element based on Josephson junction,which can be adapted to an all-to-all connected circuit architecture where multiple Xmon qubits couple to a common coplanar waveguide resonator.The coupling strength is experimentally verified to be adjustable from 0 MHz to about 40 MHz,and the qubit lifetime can still be up to 12μs in the presence of the coupling element.

Feasible schemes for quantum swap gates of optical qubits via cavity QED

Feasible schemes for implementing quantum swap gates of both coherent-state qubits and photonic qubits are proposed using a A-type atomic ensemble trapped in a bimodal optical cavity. In both protocols, the decoherence from atomic spontaneous emission is negligible due to the fact that the excited states of the atoms are adiabatically eliminated under large detuning condition and the swap gates can be created in a single step. In our schemes, the required atoms-cavity interaction time decreases with the increase of the number of atoms, which is very important in view of decoherence. The experimental feasibilities of the schemes are also discussed.

Increasing energy relaxation time of superconducting qubits with nonmagnetic infrared filter and shield

One of the primary origins of the energy relaxation in superconducting qubits is the quasiparticle loss. The quasiparticles can be excited remarkably by infrared radiation. In order to minimize the density of quasiparticle and increase the qubit relaxation time, we design and fabricate the infrared filter and shield for superconducting qubits. In comparison with previous filters and shields, a nonmagnetic dielectric is used as the infrared absorbing material, greatly suppressing the background magnetic fluctuations. The filters can be made to impedance-match with other microwave devices. Using the as-fabricated infrared filter and shield, we increased the relaxation time of a transmon qubit from 519 ns to 1125 ns.

Bell States and Two-Qubit Logic Gate with Superconducting Charge Qubits Coupling to a Nanomechanical Resonator

We propose a scheme for generating Bell states involving two SQUID-based charge qubits by coupling themto a nanomechanical resonator.We also show that it is possible to implement a two-qubit logic gate between the twocharge qubits by choosing carefully the interaction time.

Construction of two-qubit logical gates by transmon qubits in a three-dimensional cavity

We report the implementation of qubit-lubit coupling in a three-dimensional （3D） cavity, using the exchange of virtual photons, to realize logical operations. We measure single photon and multi-photon transitions in this qubit-qubit coupling system and obtain its energy avoided-crossing spectrum. With ac-Stark effect, fast control of the qubits is achieved to tune the effective coupling on and off and the state-swap gate SWAP is successfully constructed. Moreover, using two-photon transition between the ground state and doubly observed. A quarter period of this oscillation corresponds to states, bSWAP and are the foundations of future gate excited states, a kind of two-photon Rabi-like oscillation is the logical gate bSbSWAP, which is used for generating Bell preparation of two-qubit Bell states and realization of CNOT

Superconducting phase qubits with shadow-evaporated Josephson junctions

We develop a fabrication process for the superconducting phase qubits in which Josephson junctions for both the qubit and superconducting quantum interference device（SQUID） detector are prepared by shadow evaporation with a suspended bridge. Al junctions with areas as small as 0.05 μm^2 are fabricated for the qubit, in which the number of the decoherencecausing two-level systems（TLS） residing in the tunnel barrier and proportional to the junction area are greatly reduced. The measured energy spectrum shows no avoided crossing arising from coherent TLS in the experimentally reachable flux bias range of the phase qubit, which demonstrates the energy relaxation time T1 and dephasing time Tφ on the order of 100 ns and 50 ns, respectively. We discuss several possible origins of decoherence from incoherent or weakly-coupled coherent TLS and further improvements of the qubit performance.

Properties of Parabolic Linear Bound Potential and Coulomb Bound Potential Quantum Dot Qubit

On the condition of electric-LO phonon strong-coupling in a parabolic quantum dot, we obtain the eigenenergy of the ground-state and the first-excited state, the eigenfunctions of the ground-state and the first-excited state by using variational method of Pekar type. This system in quantum dot may be employed as a two-level quantum system-qubit. When the electron is in the superposition state of the ground- and the first-excited state, we obtain the time evolution of the electron density. The relation of the probability density of electron on the Coulomb binding parameter and the relations of the period of oscillation on the Coulomb binding parameter, the electron-LO-phonon coupling constant and the confinement length are derived.

Entanglement and decoherence of coupled superconductor qubits in a non-Markovian environment

The sudden death of entanglement is investigated for the non-Markovian dynamic process of a pair of interacting flux qubits under a thermal bath. The results show that, for initially two-qubit entangled states, entanglement sudden death （ESD） always happens in the thermal reservoir, where its appearance strongly depends on the environment. In particular, ESD of the qubits occurs more easily for the non-Markovian process than for the Markovian one.

Nb-based Josephson parametric amplifier for superconducting qubit measurement

We report a fabrication process and characterization of the Josephson parametric amplifier(JPA) for the single-shot quantum state measurement of superconducting multiqubit system. The device is prepared using Nb film as its base layer,which is convenient in the sample patterning process like e-beam lithography and film etching. Our results show that the JPA has a bandwidth up to 600 MHz with gain above 15 dB and noise temperature approaching the quantum limit. The qubit state differentiation measurements demonstrate the signal-to-noise ratio around 3 and the readout fidelity above 97%and 91% for the ground and first-excited states, respectively.
