Acceleration and deceleration of quantum dynamics based on inter-trajectory travel with fast-forward scaling theory

Kavli Affiliate: Gary A. Steele | First 5 Authors: Shumpei Masuda, Jacob Koenig, Gary A. Steele, , | Summary: Quantum information processing requires fast manipulations of quantum systems in order to overcome dissipative effects. We propose a method to accelerate quantum dynamics and obtain a target state in a shorter time relative to unmodified dynamics, […]

Controlling the entropy of a single-molecule junction

Kavli Affiliate: Herre Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Eugenia Pyurbeeva, Chunwei Hsu, David Vogel, Christina Wegeberg, Marcel Mayor | Summary: Single molecules are nanoscale thermodynamic systems with few degrees of freedom. Thus, the knowledge of their entropy can reveal the presence of microscopic electron transfer dynamics, that are difficult to observe otherwise. Here, […]

Electrical spectroscopy of the spin-wave dispersion and bistability in gallium-doped yttrium iron garnet

Kavli Affiliate: Toeno Van Der Sar | First 5 Authors: Joris J. Carmiggelt, Olaf C. Dreijer, Carsten Dubs, Oleksii Surzhenko, Toeno van der Sar | Summary: Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) is a magnetic insulator with record-low damping, allowing spin-wave transport over macroscopic distances. Doping YIG with gallium ions greatly reduces the demagnetizing field and introduces […]

Self-sealing complex oxide resonators

Kavli Affiliate: Herre S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Martin Lee, Martin Robin, Ruben Guis, Ulderico Filippozzi, Dong Hoon Shin | Summary: Although 2D materials hold great potential for next-generation pressure sensors, recent studies revealed that gases permeate along the membrane-surface interface that is only weakly bound by van der Waals interactions, […]

The Role of Cell-Matrix Interactions in Connective Tissue Mechanics

Kavli Affiliate: Gijsje H. Koenderink | First 5 Authors: Iain Muntz, Michele Fenu, Gerjo J. V. M. van Osch, Gijsje H. Koenderink, | Summary: Living tissue is able to withstand large stresses in everyday life, yet it also actively adapts to dynamic loads. This remarkable mechanical behaviour emerges from the interplay between living cells and […]

Non-classical mechanical states guided in a phononic waveguide

Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Amirparsa Zivari, Robert Stockill, Niccolò Fiaschi, Simon Gröblacher, | Summary: Quantum optics – the creation, manipulation and detection of non-classical states of light – is a fundamental cornerstone of modern physics, with many applications in basic and applied science. Achieving the same level of control over phonons, […]

Fast universal quantum control above the fault-tolerance threshold in silicon

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Akito Noiri, Kenta Takeda, Takashi Nakajima, Takashi Kobayashi, Amir Sammak | Summary: Fault-tolerant quantum computers which can solve hard problems rely on quantum error correction. One of the most promising error correction codes is the surface code, which requires universal gate fidelities exceeding the error correction threshold […]

Circuit quantum electrodynamics with two remote electron spins

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Patrick Harvey-Collard, Jurgen Dijkema, Guoji Zheng, Amir Sammak, Giordano Scappucci | Summary: We report the coherent coupling of two electron spins at a distance via virtual microwave photons. Each spin is trapped in a silicon double quantum dot at either end of a superconducting resonator, achieving spin-photon […]

Directional excitation of a high-density magnon gas using coherently driven spin waves

Kavli Affiliate: Toeno Van Der Sar | First 5 Authors: Brecht G. Simon, Samer Kurdi, Helena La, Iacopo Bertelli, Joris J. Carmiggelt | Summary: Controlling magnon densities in magnetic materials enables driving spin transport in magnonic devices. We demonstrate the creation of large, out-of-equilibrium magnon densities in a thin-film magnetic insulator via microwave excitation of […]
