The high-speed energy-efficient data transfer between cryogenic temperature and room temperature for the superconducting quantum computing is a critical issue. The current electrical interconnect is difficult to meet the stringent requirements in the future quantum computing application with millions of qubits. The optical interconnect based on the fiber is a promising solution because the optical fiber data link has a higher modulation bandwidth, ultralow signal loss, and lower heat load. The cryogenic vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) with high modulation speed and low power consumption are the potential sources for the cryogenic optical interconnect.

Relative comparison with classical signal-to-noise-driven automation is shown to be ∼200% inferior and ∼130% slower than the AI-driven approach.

Reconfigurable beam manipulation, driven by variable voltage and SOIs, has emerged as a key focus in advancing optical systems. Despite this potential, the mechanical rigidity of piezoelectric materials and their inherently static optical properties post-fabrication present significant challenges, restricting their adaptability and dynamic functionality. This study explores the integration of plasmonic and piezoelectric materials to overcome these limitations, enabling voltage-controlled modulation of refractive index and thickness for tunable SOIs. In this manuscript, the photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE), arising from the SOI of light, is demonstrated in a layered structure consisting of silver (Ag), the piezoelectric material PMN-PT, and an additional Ag layer. By applying a voltage bias (<italic>V<sub>B</sub></i>) of –5.874 V, left-hand circular polarization achieves a maximum conventional spin dependent shift (CSDS) of 143.357 μm for a PMN-PT layer thickness of 387 nm, outperforming previously reported PSHE studies. Further, the proposed PSHE framework demonstrates potential for antigen or complementary DNA detection, owing to the exceptional tunability of PMN-PT. A spin-dependent sensitivity of 610430.50 μm/RIU is achieved at a refractive index change of Δn = 1 × 10<sup>-3</sup> under a voltage bias of –5.874 V for complementary DNA sensing.

Among various QRNGs, source-independent QRNGs (SI-QRNGs) relax the trust on the quantum source, allowing for flexible use of advanced detectors to achieve high randomness generation rates. Continuous-variable (CV) SI-QRNGs, in particular, hold promise for practical deployment due to their simplicity and randomness generation rates comparable to trusted-device QRNGs. In this work, we propose a novel CV-SI-QRNG scheme based on phase-insensitive detections, and provide security proof based on semi-definite programming (SDP). We introduce a dimension reduction technique, which rigorously reduces an infinite-dimensional SDP problem to a finite-dimensional one, enabling efficient computation while maintaining valid randomness lower bound. We further validate our method through simulations. These results demonstrate the feasibility of our framework, paving the way for practical and simple SI-QRNG implementations.","PeriodicalId":13094,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics","volume":"31 5: Quantum Materials and Quantum Devices","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143792878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
