In QEC, quantum gates and measurements encode quantum information into an error-protected Hilbert space, while classical processing decodes the measurements into logical errors. QEC non-Clifford gates pose the greatest computation challenge from the classical controller's perspective, as they require mid-circuit decoding-dependent feed-forward—modifying the physical gate sequence based on the decoding outcome of previous measurements within the same circuit. In this work, we introduce the first benchmarks to holistically evaluate the capability of a combined controller–decoder system to run non-Clifford QEC circuits. We show that executing an error-corrected non-Clifford circuit, comprised of numerous non-Clifford gates, strictly hinges upon the classical controller–decoder system. Particularly, its ability to perform decoding-based feed-forward with low latency, defined as the time between the last measurement required for decoding and the dependent mid-circuit quantum operation. We analyze how the system's latency dictates the circuit's operational regime: latency divergence, classical-controller-limited runtime, or quantum-operation-limited runtime. Based on this understanding, we introduce latency-based benchmarks to set a standard for developing QEC control systems as the essential components of fault-tolerant quantum computation.","PeriodicalId":100644,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering","volume":"6 ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11153908","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145255938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We thus propose a scheme to amplify two-mode squeezing in nanomechanical resonators, harnessing parametric amplification and two-tone laser controls. The red-detuned laser drives facilitate the cooling of the nanomechanical resonators down to their ground state and allow optimal quantum state transfer in the weak-coupling resolved sideband regime. In particular, the competing blue-detuned lasers in the driving pairs induce displacement squeezing in mechanical resonators. Thus, the quantum state transfer of squeezing in nanomechanical resonators and the intracavity correlated photons of the parametric amplifier significantly enhance two-mode mechanical squeezing. Notably, increasing the coupling strength of the red-detuned laser and the ratio of blue-to-red-detuned laser dramatically amplifies two-mode mechanical squeezing under realistic experimental parameters of a typical optomechanical system. Our findings reveal that the proposed cooperative mechanism effectively enhances the level of two-mode mechanical squeezing with a considerable improvement and demonstrates exceptional resilience to thermal noise.","PeriodicalId":100644,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering","volume":"6 ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11142662","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145078581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While recent progress has been made, mitigating environmental noise remains a challenge in extracting particle parameters with high fidelity. Addressing these challenges requires efforts on two levels. At the device level, the qubit and its array acting as a probe must be isolated from electrical and magnetic noise through optimized device geometry. At the signal processing level, it is necessary to develop filtering methods targeting specific noise spectra based on different qubit architectures. In this work, we explore the possibility of using semiconductor quantum dot spin qubits as a platform to search for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) axions and, more broadly, axion-like particles. Starting by deriving an effective Hamiltonian for electron–axion interactions, we identify an axion-induced effective magnetic field and determine the characteristic axion oscillation frequency. To suppress charge noise in the devices and environmental noise, we first analyze the charge noise spectrum and then develop a dedicated filtering and noise-reduction protocol, paving the way for exploring feasible axion mass ranges. Our preliminary study holds promise for enhancing the screening of various axion signals using quantum technologies. We expect that our analysis and filtering protocol can help advance the use of semiconductor quantum dot spin qubit arrays in axion detection.","PeriodicalId":100644,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering","volume":"6 ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11127003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145036216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we present an field programmable gate arrays (FPGA)-based implementation of a synchronization system using time-correlated entangled photons (TCEP), achieving timing precision below 200 ps across 10- and 20-km deployed fiber links using spectral filtering (SF) and dispersion compensation. The system exploits the intrinsic temporal correlations of entangled photon pairs to estimate synchronization offsets between remote nodes. A modular architecture is developed, featuring optimized OpenCL kernels for real-time correlation, timestamp aggregation, and peak normalization. This enables high-throughput performance with efficient utilization of hardware resources. Experimental validation confirms that the FPGA processes entangled photon timestamps and computes cross-correlation functions significantly faster than conventional CPU-based methods, achieving execution times in the range of a few milliseconds for datasets containing up to <inline-formula><tex-math>$10^{5}$</tex-math></inline-formula> timestamped events per node. Resource utilization analysis further demonstrates the scalability of the design, with the system operating reliably at a 397.5-MHz clock frequency while maintaining efficient logic, register, and memory usage. Our results illustrate the feasibility of deploying FPGA-based TCEP synchronization in real-world quantum networks, supporting applications in ultra-reliable low-latency communication, distributed quantum computing, and quantum-enhanced localization and sensing.
