光纤腔耦合碳化硅薄膜的理论计算

半导体材料中的自旋色心是量子信息处理的理想载体,引起了人们的广泛兴趣.近几年,研究发现碳化硅材料中的双空位、硅空位等色心具有与金刚石中的氮-空位色心相似的性质,而且其荧光处于更有利于光纤传输的红外波段.然而受限于这类色心的荧光强度和谱线宽度,它们在量子密钥分发和量子网络构建等方面的实际应用依然面临严峻的挑战.利用光学腔耦合自旋色心实现荧光增强和滤波将能有效地解决这些难题.将光纤端面作为腔镜,并与自旋色心耦合可以实现小模式体积的腔耦合,而且天然地避免了需要再次将荧光耦合进光纤而造成损耗的缺点.本文理论计算了耦合碳化硅薄膜的光纤腔的性质和特征.首先通过优化各项参数包括薄膜表面粗糙度、腔镜反射率等,理论分析了存在于光纤腔中的不同模式的特点,以及光纤腔耦合色心的增强效果及相关影响因素.进一步地研究了对开放腔而言最主要的影响因素—振动对腔性质、色心的增强效果以及耦出效率的影响,最终得到在不同振动下的最大增强效果以及对应的耦出透射率.这些结果为今后光纤腔耦合色心的实验设计提供了最直接的理论指导,为实验的发展和优化指明了方向.     

Compressed Sensing Quantum State Tomography Assisted by Adaptive Design

The recently proposed compressed sensing(CS) method sheds light on quantum state tomography of multi-qubit systems with low rank, which greatly reduces the complexity of measurement and computation. However, the restricted isometry property requirement of CS is difficult to be promised or verified in practice, which makes this method probably assign unreasonable results. In regard to this problem, we adopt a two-step procedure and implement an adaptive strategy to update measurement operators based on the measurement results of the first step for CS, which not only serves as a way to verify the estimate but also improves the accuracy of tomography.Our numerical simulations manifest that our adaptive protocol can reduce about half of the infidelity of nonadaptive protocol and is still efficient even when the rank of the state is slightly high, which would greatly benefit multi-qubit state tomography in future experiments.

High-fidelity quantum sensing of magnon excitations with a single electron spin in quantum dots

Single-electron spins in quantum dots are the leading platform for qubits, while magnons in solids are one of the emerging candidates for quantum technologies. How to manipulate a composite system composed of both systems is an outstanding challenge. Here, we use spin-charge hybridization to effectively couple the single-electron spin state in quantum dots to the cavity and further to the magnons. Through this coupling, quantum dots can entangle and detect magnon states. The detection efficiency can reach 0.94 in a realistic experimental situation. We also demonstrate the electrical tunability of the scheme for various parameters. These results pave a practical pathway for applications of composite systems based on quantum dots and magnons.

Experimental Demonstration of Deterministic Entanglement Transformation

According to Nielsen＇s theorem [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83 （1999） 436] and as a proof of principle, we demonstrate the deterministic transformation from a maximum entangled state to an arbitrary nonmaximum entangled pure state with local operation and classical communication in an optical system. The output states are verified with a quantum tomography process. We further test the violation of Bell-like inequality to demonstrate the quantum nonlocality of the state we generated. Our results may be useful in quantum information processing.

Thermal expanded core ultraviolet fiber for optical cavity mode matching

We have demonstrated a mode matching method between two different fibers by a hybrid thermal expanded core technique, which can be applied to match the modes of fiber-based Fabry–Pérot cavities. Experimentally, this method has achieved an expansion of the ultraviolet fiber core by 3.5 times while keeping fundamental mode propagation. With the experiment parameters, the fundamental mode coupling efficiency between the fiber and micro-cavity can reach 95% for a plano-concave cavity with a length of 400 μm. This method can not only have potential in quantum photonics research but also can be applied in classical optical fields.
