Implementation of a Controlled-NOT Gate Using Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices

A scheme is proposed for implementing a controlled-NOT gate via superconducting quantum interference device （SQUID） in cavity-QED. The controlled-NOT gate can be achieved by coupling the SQUID to a single-mode microwave cavity field or classical microwave pluses. The scheme may be experimentally realizable.

The scheme is based on SQUID coupled to a single-mode microwave cavity field or classical microwave pluses. The scheme is very simple and may be realizable experimentally.     

Generation of Entangled States of Multiple Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices in Cavity

We propose a scheme for generating the maximally entangled states of many superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) by using a quantized cavity field and classicalmicrowave pulses in cavity. In the scheme,the maximally entangled states can be generated without requiring the measurement and individual addressing of the SQUIDs.     

Metallic Contaminant Detection using a High-Temperature Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices Gradiometer

We develop magnetic metallic contaminant detectors using high-temperature superconducting quantum interference devices （HTS-SQUIDs） for industrial products. Finding ultra-small metallic contaminants is an important issue for manufacturers producing commercial products such as lithium ion batteries. If such contaminants cause damages, the manufacturer of the product suffers a big financial loss due to having to recall the faulty products. Previously, we described a system for finding such ultra-smafi particles in food. In this study, we describe further developments of the system, for the reduction of the effect of the remnant field of the products, and we test the parallel magnetization of the products to generate the remnant field only at both ends of the products. In addition, we use an SQUID gradiometer in place of the magnetometer to reduce the edge effect by measuring the magnetic field gradient. We test the performances of the system and find that tiny iron particles as small as 50 × 50 μm^2 on the electrode of a lithium ion battery could be clearly detected. This detection level is difficult to achieve when using other methods.

Soliton Atom Laser with Quantum State Transfer Property

We study the nonlinear effects in the quantum states transfer technique from photons to matter waves in the three-level case, which may provide the formation of a soliton atom laser with nonclassical atoms. The validity of quantum transfer mechanism is confirmed in the presence of the intrinsic nonlinear atomic interactions. The accompanied frequency chirp effect is shown to have no influence on the grey solitons formed by the output atom laser and the possible quantum depletion effect is also briefly discussed.     

Generation of an Entangled State of Two Three-Level Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices in Cavity

We propose a scheme for generating a maximally entangled state of two three-level superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) by using a quantized cavity field and classical microwave pluses in cavity. In this scheme, no quantum information will be transferred from the SQUIDs to the cavity since the cavity field is only virtually excited. Thus, the cavity decay is suppressed during the entanglement generation.     

Quantum Theory of Vibron Soliton

A quantum mechanical treatment of Takeno model for energy transport in protein is presented and the cubic anharmonicity of the hydrogen-bonded interaction is also taken into account. Under the continuum approximation, two coupled nonlinear differential equations are obtained, and then exact and approximate solitary wave solutions are found. The ideal parameters for protein are used to show whether the soliton solutions can exist for real protein molecules.

利用线性近似和分步傅里叶变换法，分析了量子孤子在无耗光纤中的传播规律.量子孤子在光纤中的行为由量子非线性薛定谔方程（QNSE）描述,用线性近似法求解此方程，将量子噪声与经典部分分离，着重讨论了孤子量子噪声的演化行为，分析了高阶色散对噪声压缩的影响.结果表明：在较短的传输距离内，孤子的压缩性依然存在，但无论初始时压缩参数如何，随着传输距离的增加，压缩比会达到一个极限;在负色散区，三阶色散对压缩效应无影响.     

Quantum Interference in Time

I discuss the interpretation of a recent experiment showing quantum interference in time. It is pointed out that the standard nonrelativistic quantum theory does not have the property of coherence in time, and hence cannot account for the results found. Therefore, this experiment has fundamental importance beyond the technical advances it represents. Some theoretical structures which consider the time as an observable, and thus could, in principle, have the required coherence in time, are discussed briefly, and the application of Floquet theory and the manifestly covariant quantum theory of Stueckelberg are treated in some detail. In particular, the latter is shown to account for the results in a simple and consistent way.     

10 Tera Hertz Operation in One-Dimensional Quantum Interference Transistor (1-D QUIT) Devices

A high performance quantum interference transistor (QUIT) realized using high mobility 1-D MODFET channels is presented. The operation of this 1-D QUIT is based on electrostatic Aharonov-Bohm quantum interference effect. The channel length of the device is smaller than the inelastic coherence length of the electrons in the quantum well wire channel, otherwise scattering will randomize electron's phase and destroy the quantum interference effect. Transport characteristics of the 0.2 m channel 1-D QUIT are calculated at 4.2 °K and compared with a two-dimensional QUIT device reported in literature. Our calculations show a significant improvement of the transconductance in one-dimensional transistors compared with its two-dimensional counterpart. The maximum frequency of operation of the 1-D QUIT is in the Tera Hertz regime, which makes it very attractive device for high frequency applications.

Nonadiabatic Geometric Quantum Computation with Asymmetric Superconducting Quantum Interference Device

We propose a method of controlling the dc-SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) systemby changing the gate voltages, which controls the amplitude of the fictitious magnetic fields Bz, and the externallyapplied current that produces the piercing magnetic fiux φx for the dc-SQUID system. We have also introduced aphysical model for the dc-SQUID system. Using this physical model, one can obtain the non-adiabatic geometric phasegate for the single qubit and the non-adiabatic conditional geometric phase gate (controlled NOT gate) for the twoqubits. It is shown that when the gate voltage and the externally applied current of the dc-SQUID system satisfies anappropriate constraint condition, the charge state evolution can be controlled exactly on a dynamic phase free path. Thenon-adiabatic evolution of the charge states is given as well.

Measurement-Based Interference in Quantum Computation

The interference has been measured by the visibility in two-level systems,which,however,does not work for multi-level systems.We generalize a measure of the interference based on decoherence process,consistent with the visibility in qubit systems.By taking cluster states as examples,we show in the one-way quantum computation that the gate fidelity is proportional to the interference of the measured qubit and is inversely proportional to the interference of all register qubits.We also find that the interference increases with the number of the computing steps.So we conjecture that the interference may be the source of the speedup of the one-way quantum computation.

Unconventional Geometric Phase-Shift Gates Based on Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices Coupled to a Single-Mode Cavity

We present a scheme to realize geometric phase-shift gate for two superconducting quantum interference device （SQUID） qubits coupled to a single-mode microwave field. The geometric phase-shift gate operation is performed in two lower flux states, and the excited state [2〉 would not participate in the procedure. The SQUIDs undergo no transitions during the gate operation. Thus, the docoherence due to energy spontaneous emission based on the levels of SQUIDs are suppressed. The gate is insensitive to the cavity decay throughout the operation since the cavity mode is displaced along a circle in the phase space, acquiring a phase conditional upon the two lower flux states of the SQUID qubits, and the cavity mode is still in the original vacuum state. Based on the SQUID qubits interacting with the cavity mode, our proposed approach may open promising prospects for quantum iogic in SQUID-system.
