A simple quantum gate with atom chips
2005
We present a simple scheme for implementing an atomic phase gate using two degrees of freedom for each atom and discuss its realization with cold rubidium atoms on atom chips. We investigate the performance of this collisional phase gate and show that gate operations with high fidelity can be realized in magnetic traps that are currently available on atom chips.
Arrays of Josephson junctions in an environment with vanishing impedance
1999
The Hamiltonian operator for an unbiased array of Josephson junctions with gate voltages is constructed when only Cooper pair tunnelling and charging effects are taken into account. The supercurrent through the system and the pumped current induced by changing the gate voltages periodically are discussed with an emphasis on the inaccuracies in the Cooper pair pumping. Renormalisation of the Hamiltonian operator is used in order to reliably parametrise the effects due to inhomogeneity in the array and non-ideal gating sequences. The relatively simple model yields an explicit, testable prediction based on three experimentally motivated and determinable parameters.
Geometric quantum computation with Josephson qubits
2001
The quest for large scale integrability and flexibility has stimulated an increasing interest in designing quantum computing devices. A proposal based on small-capacitance Josephson junctions in the charge regime in which quantum gates are implemented by means of adiabatic geometric phases was discussed. The proposed works, are in the charge regime where the qubit is realized by two nearly degenerate charge states of a single electron box.
Computer-Aided Simultaneous Determination of Noise and Gain Parameters of Microwave Transistors
1979
A new method for the determination of noise and gain parameters of microwave linear two-ports (transistors) is presented. The method allows the simultaneous determination of the two parameter sets through a proper computer-aided procedure which processes the experimental data obtained from a measuring system employing noise meters and generators only. Experimental verifications carried-out on a microwave low noise transistor in S-band are reported.
An integrated calibration system for liquid argon calorimetry
1999
Abstract A novel technical solution for an integrated version of the pulse generator of a calibration system for liquid argon calorimeters is presented. It consists of a differential amplifier with automatic offset compensation, a current mirror and a switching logic. These components are integrated on an ASIC chip in CMOS technology. The technical realisation as well as results on the performance are presented.
Application of ultra-fast timing techniques to the study of exotic and weakly produced nuclei
2005
Ultra-fast time-delayed techniques have been recently applied in a number of studies where exotic nuclei were identified using advanced selection techniques. These include large Compton-suppressed Ge arrays, in-flight separators or recoil separators. Some of the new results are discussed in this presentation. Besides the results for $^{32}$Mg and $^{96}$Pd, they include the first determination of the half-life of the $8^+$ state in $^{80}$Ge, $T_1/2$ = 2.95(6) ns, and significantly more precise results for $^{51}$Mn (3680 keV level) and $^{48}$V (421 keV level), $T_1/2$ = 1760(40) ps and $T_1/2$ $\leq$ 135 ps, respectively. Development of new scintillators will steadily improve precision an…
Fast SWAP gate by adiabatic passage
2005
We present a process for the construction of a SWAP gate which does not require a composition of elementary gates from a universal set. We propose to employ direct techniques adapted to the preparation of this specific gate. The mechanism, based on adiabatic passage, constitutes a decoherence-free method in the sense that spontaneous emission and cavity damping are avoided.
Quantum Nondemolition Gate Operations and Measurements in Real Time on Fluctuating Signals
2017
We demonstrate an optical quantum nondemolition (QND) interaction gate with a bandwidth of about 100 MHz. Employing this gate, we are able to perform QND measurements in real time on randomly fluctuating signals. Our QND gate relies on linear optics and offline-prepared squeezed states. In contrast to previous demonstrations on narrow sideband modes, our gate is compatible with quantum states temporally localized in a wave-packet mode including non-Gaussian quantum states. This is the cornerstone of realizing quantum error correction and universal gate operations.
