In its straightforward implementation, DD nulls out DC signal as well while suppressing noise. This work proposes a phase relay method that is capable of continuously interrogating the DC signal over many DD cycles. We illustrate its efficacy when applied to the measurement of a weak DC magnetic field with an atomic spinor Bose–Einstein condensate. Sensitivities approaching standard quantum limit or Heisenberg limit are potentially realizable for a coherent spin state or a squeezed spin state of 10000 atoms, respectively, while ambient laboratory level noise is suppressed by DD. Our work offers a practical approach to mitigate the limitations of DD to DC measurement and would find other applications for resorting coherence in quantum sensing and quantum information processing research.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140003798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Motivated by this work, we generalize the protocol to a two-dimensional BEC and investigate the generic scenario of its post-quench dynamics. For an isotropic disk trap with a hard-wall boundary, we find that successive inward-moving ring dark solitons (RDSs) can be induced from the edge, and the number of RDSs can be controlled by tuning the ratio of the after- and before-quench interaction strength across different critical values. The role of the quench played on the profiles of the density, phase, and sound velocity is also investigated. Due to the snake instability, the RDSs then become vortex–antivortex pairs with peculiar dynamics managed by the initial density and the after-quench interaction. By tuning the geometry of the box traps, demonstrated as polygonal ones, more subtle dynamics of solitons and vortices are enabled. Our proposed protocol and the discovered rich dynamical effects on nonlinear excitations can be realized in near future cold-atom experiments.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139758643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, the large-scale Artificial Neural Network for building AI systems is thirsty for computing power, which is barely satisfied by the conventional computing hardware. In the post-Moore era, the increase in computing power brought about by the size reduction of CMOS in very large-scale integrated circuits (VLSIC) is challenging to meet the growing demand for AI computing power. To address the issue, technical approaches like neuromorphic computing attract great attention because of their feature of breaking Von-Neumann architecture, and dealing with AI algorithms much more parallelly and energy efficiently. Inspired by the human neural network architecture, neuromorphic computing hardware is brought to life based on novel artificial neurons constructed by new materials or devices. Although it is relatively difficult to deploy a training process in the neuromorphic architecture like spiking neural network (SNN), the development in this field has incubated promising technologies like in-sensor computing, which brings new opportunities for multidisciplinary research, including the field of optoelectronic materials and devices, artificial neural networks, and microelectronics integration technology. The vision chips based on the architectures could reduce unnecessary data transfer and realize fast and energy-efficient visual cognitive processing.

We investigate the spectral engineering of photon triplets generated by third-order spontaneous parametric down-conversion in micro/nanofiber. The phase mismatching at one-third pump frequency gives rise to non-degenerate photon triplets, the joint spectral intensity of which has an elliptical locus with a fixed eccentricity of $frac{sqrt{6}}{3}$. Therefore, we propose a frequency-division scheme to separate non-degenerate photon triplets into three channels with high heralding efficiency for the first time. Choosing an appropriate pump wavelength can compensate for the fabrication errors of micro/nanofiber and also generate narrowband, non-degenerate photon triplet sources with high signal-to-noise ratio. Furthermore, the long-period micro/nanofiber grating introduces a new controllable degree of freedom to tailor phase matching, resulting from the periodic oscillation of dispersion. In this scheme, the wavelength of photon triplets can be flexibly tuned using quasi-phase matching. We study the generation of photon triplets from this novel perspective of spectrum engineering, and we believe that this work will accelerate the practical implementation of photon triplets in quantum information processing.","PeriodicalId":10253,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Physics B","volume":"57 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139441950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model is rigorously derived from the nonlinear coupled wave equation specific to the autocorrelation measurement configuration, without requiring a specific form of the incident pulse function. A rigorous solution of the nonlinear coupled wave equation is obtained in the time domain and expressed in a general analytical form. The global model fully accounts for the nonlinear interaction and propagation effects within nonlinear crystals, which are not captured by the classical local model. To assess the performance of the global model compared to the classic local model, we investigate the autocorrelation signals obtained from both models for different incident pulse waveforms and different full-width half-maximums (FWHM). When the incident pulse waveform is Lorentzian with a FWHM of 200fs, the global model predicts an autocorrelation signal FWHM of 399.9fs, while the classic local model predicts a FWHM of 331.4fs. The difference between the two models is 68.6fs, corresponding to an error of 17.2%. Similarly, for a sech-type incident pulse with a FWHM of 200fs, the global model predicts an autocorrelation signal FWHM of 343.9fs, while the local model predicts a FWHM of 308.8fs. The difference between the two models is 35.1fs, with an error of 10.2%. We further examine the behavior of the models for Lorentzian pulses with FWHMs of 100fs, 200fs, and 500fs. The differences between the global and local models are 17.1fs, 68.6fs, and 86.0fs, respectively, with errors approximately around 17%.

We prove that our one-step QD protocol is secure in theory and numerically simulate its secret message capacity under practical experimental condition. Comparing with previous QD protocols, the one-step QD protocol can effectively simplify the experiment operations and reduce the message loss caused by the photon transmission loss. Meanwhile, the non-local hyperentanglement-assisted BSM has a success probability of 100% and is feasible with linear optical elements.
