Through the experiments conducted, it is confirmed that the device functions as a one-input, four-output reservoir capable of estimating external magnetic fields. Notably, the results demonstrate the device’s capacity to retain memory up to one step prior in short-term memory tasks, while confirming the effectiveness of spin-wave interference induced by Huygens slits in enhancing nonlinearity, as observed in parity-check tasks.

Quantum noise spectroscopy can provide quantitative estimation of the noise spectral features; however, in its current form it is highly vulnerable to implementation nonidealities, notably, state preparation and measurement (SPAM) errors. Further to that, existing protocols have been mostly developed for dephasing-dominated noise processes, with competing dephasing and relaxation effects being largely unaccounted for. We introduce quantum noise spectroscopy protocols inspired by spin-locking techniques that enable the characterization of arbitrary temporally correlated multiaxis noise on a qubit with fixed energy splitting, while remaining resilient to realistic static SPAM errors. By validating the performance of our protocol in both numerical simulation and on cloud-based IBM quantum processors, we demonstrate the successful separation and estimation of native noise spectrum components as well as SPAM error rates. We find that SPAM errors can significantly alter or mask important noise features, with spectra overestimated by up to 26.4% in a classical noise regime. Clear signatures of nonclassical noise are manifest in the reconstructed IBM-qubit dephasing spectra, once SPAM-error effects are compensated for. Our work provides a timely tool for benchmarking realistic sources of noise in qubit devices.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

However, adapting air-based OAM technologies to the underwater environment presents unique challenges. In the underwater environment, the medium cannot be considered acoustically soft, and commonly used ultrasound frequencies have shorter wavelengths compared with air, necessitating new design approaches. Conventional underwater ultrasonic lens design methods often rely on simplified models that neglect nonlocal interactions and diffraction within the structure, therefore leading to suboptimal performance. We introduce a novel nonlocal inverse design method by integrating the full-wave models with the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II). This approach diverges from conventional phase-based design by optimizing the physical structure of the lens to account for nonlocal interactions within the material. We experimentally demonstrate the performance when generating high-purity OAM beams underwater. Our experimental results show that this method can generate high-purity OAM beams underwater, achieving over 90% purity for the OAM beams of topological charges from <i>m</i> = 1 to <i>m</i> = 4. This is a significant improvement compared with traditional methods, which typically reach 70–89% purity. These findings highlight the practical applicability of our method for nonlocally designing the ultrasonic lens, paving the way for advancements in beam performance for various applications.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"313 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

Our method is based on the use of a Dove-prism pair in conjunction with Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interferometry resolved in transverse position and OAM. The latter allows us to engineer the postselected two-photon state to exhibit a specific type of symmetry. By selecting particular topological charge values for the pump and for the postselected two-photon state, we can transition from a symmetric two-photon state and a HOM dip to an antisymmetric state and a HOM peak. Spatial resolution allows us to obtain the HOM interferogram both at the single-pixel level and globally by summing over all sensor pixels. Furthermore, through spatially selective OAM projection of the detected photon pairs, we can define multiple transverse regions with different symmetry properties, as verified by our spatially resolved HOM apparatus. Although we used two transverse regions for this proof-of-concept demonstration, this method could in principle be scaled to a larger number of regions, leading to a new technique to be added to the existing toolbox for quantum technologies in the photonic domain.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

Theoretically, an optimal strategy for thermometry often requires measuring energy, which demands full accessibility over the entire system as well as a complex entangled measurement basis. In this paper, we take a different approach and show that single-qubit sequential measurements in the computational basis not only allow for precise thermometry of a many-body system, but may also achieve precision beyond the thermometry capacity of the probe at equilibrium, given by the Cramér-Rao bound. Thus, using consecutive single-qubit measurements of the probe out of equilibrium is, in most cases, very beneficial, as it achieves lower-temperature uncertainties and avoids demanding energy measurements when compared with probes at thermal equilibrium. To obtain such precision, the time between the two subsequent measurements should be smaller than the thermalization time so that the probe never thermalizes. Therefore, the nonequilibrium dynamics of the system continuously imprint information about temperature in the state of the probe. To demonstrate the generality of our findings, we consider thermometry in both spin chains and the Jaynes-Cummings model.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

A pernicious issue encountered when such experiments are conducted near a material interface in vacuum is “laser-induced contamination” (LIC): the gradual accretion of fluorescent contaminants on the surface where a laser is focused. Fluorescence from these contaminants can entirely drown out any signal from, e.g., optically probed color centers in the solid state. Crucially, while LIC appears often in this context, it has not been systematically studied. In this work, we probe the onset and growth rate of LIC for a diamond nitrogen-vacancy center experiment in vacuum, and we correlate the contamination-induced fluorescence intensities to micron-scale physical buildup of contaminant on the diamond surface. Drawing upon similar phenomena previously studied in the space optics community, we use photocatalyzed oxidation of contaminants as a mitigation strategy. We vary the residual oxygen pressure over 9 orders of magnitude and find that LIC growth is inhibited at near-atmospheric oxygen partial pressures, but the growth rate at lower oxygen pressure is nonmonotonic. Finally, we discuss a model for the observed dependence of LIC growth rate on oxygen content and propose methods to extend <i>in situ</i> mitigation of LIC to a wider range of operating pressures.","PeriodicalId":20109,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review Applied","volume":"60 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}
