    Universal photonic quantum gate by Cooper-pair-based optical nonlinearity

    Abstract

    We propose a compact and highly efficient scheme for solid-state photonic quantum gates. At the core of our scheme is a S W A P ϕ gate based on giant Cooper-pair-based optical nonlinearity we predict in a semiconductor-superconductor structure, selectively

    Low-energy Free-electron Rabi oscillation and its applications

    Yiming Pan, Bin Zhang, Daniel K Podolsky
    Abstract

    We propose free-electron Rabi oscillation by creating an isolated two-level system in a synthetic energy space induced by laser. The {\pi}/2-pulse and {\pi}-pulse in synthetic Rabi dynamics can function as 'beam splitters' and 'mirrors' for free-electron interferometry, allowing us to detect local electromagnetic fields and plasmonic excitations. When the coupling field

    Cyclotron Radiation from Shaped Electron Wavefunctions

    Majed Khalaf, Nick Rivera, Ido Kaminer
    Abstract

    Recent years have shown increasing interest in understanding the role of the wavefunction of a quantum source on the characteristics of its emitted radiation. In this work, we demonstrate that shaping the wavefunction of the source can drastically change the instantaneous emission. We exemplify this concept by examining an electron in cyclotron motion, calculating the

    Defects in Graphene : A Topological Description

    Abstract

    Specific types of spatial defects or potentials can turn monolayer graphene into a topological material. These topological defects are classified by a spatial dimension $D$ and they are systematically obtained from the Hamiltonian by means of its symbol $\mathcal{H} (\boldsymbol{k}, \boldsymbol{r}) $, an operator which generalises the Bloch Hamiltonian and contains all

    Superconductivity and fermionic dissipation in quantum Hall edges

    Noam Schiller, Barak A Katzir, Ady Stern, Erez Berg, Netanel H Lindner, Yuval Oreg
    Abstract

    Proximity-induced superconductivity in fractional quantum Hall edges is a prerequisite to proposed realizations of parafermion zero modes. A recent experimental work [Gül et al., Phys. Rev. X 12, 021057 (2022)] provided evidence for such coupling, in the form of a crossed Andreev reflection signal, in which electrons enter a superconductor from one chiral mode and are

    Tunable multimode lasing in a fiber ring

    Abstract

    We experimentally study a fiber loop laser with an integrated Erbium doped fiber (EDF). The output optical spectrum is measured as a function of the EDF temperature. We find that below a critical temperature of about 10K the measured optical spectrum exhibits a sequence of narrow and unequally-spaced peaks. Externally injected light and filtering are employed for tuning

    Security Proof Against Collective Attacks for an Experimentally Feasible Semiquantum Key Distribution Protocol

    Walter O Krawec, Rotem Liss, Tal Mor
    Abstract

    Semiquantum key distribution (SQKD) allows two parties (Alice and Bob) to create a shared secret key, even if one of these parties (say, Alice) is classical. However, most SQKD protocols suffer from severe practical security problems when implemented using photons. The recently developed “Mirror protocol” [1] is an experimentally feasible SQKD protocol overcoming those

    Self-Consistent Extraction of Spectroscopic Bounds on Light New Physics

    Cédric Delaunay, Jean-Philippe Karr, Teppei Kitahara, Jeroen C J Koelemeij, Yotam Soreq, Jure Zupan
    Abstract

    Fundamental physical constants are determined from a collection of precision measurements of elementary particles, atoms, and molecules. This is usually done under the assumption of the standard model (SM) of particle physics. Allowing for light new physics (NP) beyond the SM modifies the extraction of fundamental physical constants. Consequently, setting NP bounds

    Free-electron interactions with photonic GKP states: universal control and quantum error correction

    Abstract

    We show that the coherent interaction between free electrons and photons can be used for universal control of continuous-variable photonic quantum states in the form of Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) qubits. Specifically, we find that electron energy combs enable non-destructive measurements of the photonic state and can induce arbitrary gates. Moreover, a single

    Universal and ultrafast quantum computation based on free-electron-polariton blockade

    Aviv Karnieli, Shai Tsesses, Renwen Yu, Nicholas Rivera, Ady Arie, Ido Kaminer, Shanhui Fan
    Abstract

    Cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), wherein a quantum emitter is coupled to electromagnetic cavity modes, is a powerful platform for implementing quantum sensors, memories, and networks. However, due to the fundamental tradeoff between gate fidelity and execution time, as well as limited scalability, the use of cavity-QED for quantum computation was overtaken by other
