The two models consist of a trapped impurity atom that act as a temperature quantum sensor interacting with polar molecules reservoir, where dipole moments are aligned head-to-tail across the wires. Our model takes advantage of the adjustable interwire distance to accurately control the precision ultralow temperatures measurement. We show that the system undergoes a transition from Markovian to non-Markovian dynamics, which can be controlled by changing the interwire separation, the dipole-–dipole interaction (DDI), and the temperature. We characterize the thermometric performance using the quantum signal-to-noise ratio for both models and demonstrate that such a quantity exhibits a higher peak at ultralow temperature. We therefore emphasize that ultracold polar molecules are crucial for revolutionizing temperature sensing.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205861","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}

Combining classical shadow tomography and randomized benchmarking, Helsen <i>et al.</i> introduced a method to estimate the linear properties of quantum processes. In this work, we focus on the estimation protocols of nonlinear process properties that are robust to state preparation and measurement errors. We introduce two protocols, both utilizing random gate sequences but employing different postprocessing methods, which make them suitable for measuring different nonlinear properties. The first protocol offers a robust and sound method to estimate the out-of-time-ordered correlation, as demonstrated numerically in an Ising model. The second protocol estimates unitarity, effectively characterizing the incoherence of quantum channels. We expect the two protocols to be useful tools for exploring quantum many-body physics and characterizing quantum processes.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205860","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 form of error mitigation called zero noise extrapolation (ZNE) can decrease an algorithm's sensitivity to these errors without increasing the number of required qubits. Here we explore different methods for integrating this error mitigation technique into the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithm for calculating the ground state of the <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><msup><mtext>HeH</mtext><mo>+</mo></msup></math> molecule at <math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\"><mrow><mn>0.8</mn><mspace width=\"3.33333pt\"></mspace><mtext>Å</mtext></mrow></math> in the presence of experimental noise. Using the Quantum Scientific Computing Open User Testbed (QSCOUT) trapped-ion device, we test three methods of scaling noise for extrapolation: time stretching the two-qubit gates, scaling the sideband detuning parameter, and inserting two-qubit gate identity operations into the ansatz circuit. We find that time stretching and sideband detuning scaling fail to scale the noise on our particular hardware in a way that can be extrapolated to zero noise.

One such important effect is the response of a probe field to such a tripartite interaction between photon-magnon-phonon. In this paper we study the Goos-Hänchen shift (GHS) of a reflected probe field in a cavity magnomechanical system. We consider a yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere positioned within a microwave cavity. A microwave control field directly drives the magnon mode in the YIG sphere, whereas the cavity is driven via a weak probe field. Our results show that the GHS can be coherently controlled through magnon-phonon coupling via the control field. For instance, the GHS can be tuned from positive to negative by tuning the magnon-phonon coupling. Similarly, the effective cavity detuning is another important controlling parameter for the GHS. Furthermore, we observe that the enhancement of the GHS occurs when magnon-phonon coupling is weak at resonance and when the magnon-photon coupling is approximately equal to the loss of microwave photons. Our findings may have potential significance in applications related to microwave switching and sensing.","PeriodicalId":20146,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review A","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142205868","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}
