Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Exploiting multiple modes in a quantum acoustic device could enable applications in quantum information in a hardware-efficient setup, including quantum simulation in a synthetic dimension and continuous-variable quantum computing with cluster states. We develop a multimode surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonator with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) integrated in one of the Bragg reflectors. The interaction with the SQUID-shunted mirror gives rise to coupling between the more than 20 accessible resonator modes. We exploit this coupling to demonstrate two-mode squeezing of SAW phonons, as well as four-mode multipartite entanglement. Our results open avenues for continuous-variable quantum computing in a compact hybrid quantum system.

- In this work we investigate the dynamics of cosmological models with spherical topology containing up to 600 Schwarzschild black holes arranged in an irregular manner. We solve the field equations by tessellating the 3-sphere into eight identical cells, each having a single edge which is shared by all cells. The shared edge is enforced to be locally rotationally symmetric, thereby allowing for solving the dynamics to high accuracy along this edge. Each cell will then carry an identical (up to parity) configuration which can however have an arbitrarily random distribution. The dynamics of such models is compared to that of previous works on regularly distributed black holes as well as with the standard isotropic dust models of the FLRW type. The irregular models are shown to have richer dynamics than that of the regular models. The randomization of the distribution of the black holes is done both without bias and also with a certain clustering bias. The geometry of the initial configuration of our models is shown to be qualitatively different from the regular case in the way it approaches the isotropic model.

Calibration of mixer amplitude and phase imbalance in superconducting circuits
- 2020

In: Review of Scientific Instruments. - : AIP Publishing. - 0034-6748 .- 1089-7623. ; 91:12

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An important device for modulation and frequency translation in the field of circuit quantum electrodynamics is the in-phase and quadrature mixer, an analog component for which calibration is necessary to achieve optimal performance. In this paper, we introduce techniques originally developed for wireless communication applications to calibrate upconversion and downconversion mixers. A Kalman filter together with a controllable carrier frequency offset calibrates both mixers without removing them from the embedding measurement infrastructure. These techniques can be embedded into room temperature control electronics and hopefully find widespread use as circuit quantum electrodynamics devices continue to grow in complexity.

Multipartite entanglement in a microwave frequency comb
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Significant progress has been made with multipartite entanglement of discrete qubits, but continuous variable systems may provide a more scalable path toward entanglement of large ensembles. We demonstrate multipartite entanglement in a microwave frequency comb generated by a Josephson parametric amplifier subject to a bichromatic pump. We find 64 correlated modes in the transmission line using a multifrequency digital signal processing platform. Full inseparability is verified in a subset of seven modes. Our method can be expanded to generate even more entangled modes in the near future.

A general characterization method for nonlinearities in superconducting circuits
- 2019
-
In: New Journal of Physics. - : IOP PUBLISHING LTD. - 1367-2630. ; 21
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Detailed knowledge of nonlinearity in superconducting microwave circuits is required for the optimal control of their quantum state. We present a general method to precisely characterize this nonlinearity to very high order. Our method is based on intermodulation spectroscopy at microwave frequencies and does not require DC-connection or DC-measurement of an on-chip reference structure. We give a theoretical derivation of the method and we validate it by reconstructing a known nonlinearity from simulated data. We experimentally demonstrate the reconstruction of the unknown nonlinear current-phase relation of a microwave resonator with superconducting nanowires.

Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Denna avhandling undersöker korrelationer i frekvensdomänen, av både klassiskt och kvantmekaniskt ursprung, i icke-linjära mikrovågskretsar. Syftet är att utveckla en kompakt metod för att generera kvantmekaniska korrelationer mellan harmoniska oscillatorer (s.k. moder) vid olika frekvenser i mikrovågsdomänen och därigenom förvekliga kvantsammanflätning av kontinuerliga variabler. Vägen mot detta mål kräver dock utveckling av metoder för generering och mätning av mikrovågsfrekvenskammar. Därav studerar denna avhandling även oönskade frekvenskonverteringar i analoga IQ mixrar, ett fenomen oftast känt som obalanserade mixrar. Vi utnyttjar kalibreringstekniker ursprungligen avsedd för telekommindustrin, baserad på Kalmanfilter, och demonstrerar dess lämplighet för experiment med mikrovågor och supraledandekretsar. Vi använder en experimentuppställning baserad på analoga IQ mixrar för att studera klassiska korrelationer i frekvenskammar genererad av en driven icke-linjär krets som innehåller Josephson-övergångar.I likhet med telekommindustrin, så är den kommande digitaliseringen av mikrovågsteknik en lovande utveckling för framtida experiment med supraledandekretsar. Denna avhandling utnyttjar en ny digital plattform för mätningar i mikrovågsdomänen, som är kapabel till att syntetisera samt mäta signalsvar vid flera kammfrekvenser och tillåter oss att undvara analoga frekvenskonverterare som IQ mixrar. Vi använder den digitala mikrovågsplattformen för att detektera sammanflätade Gaussiska foton- och fononsystem. Kraften hos platformen demonstreras genom att mäta kovariansmatrisen mellan64 moder, eller frekvenser. Genom att använda sammanflätningskriterier för flerdeladesystem (dvs. system som består av fler än två moder), presenterar vi bevis för sju kvantmekanisktfullt oskiljbara fotonmoder och fyra kvantmekaniskt fullt oskiljbara fononmoder. Potentiellt kan vår metod generera kvantsammanflätning mellan betydligt flermoder, men sammanflätningskriteriernas snabbt ökande komplexitet med antalet moderförsvårar analysen. Ett ytterligare hinder är bruset vår mikrovågsförstärkare adderar.Överlag demonstrerar vårt arbete möjligheten att generera resurser för kvantinformation med kontinuerliga variabler i en kompakt enhet och med digitala kontrollsystem. Denna avhandling utgör därmed ett steg mot användandet av mikrovågsfrekvenskammar för s.k. enkelriktad kvantinformation. Andra tillämpningar inkluderar karaktärisering av icke-linjära system, kvantsimuleringar och ‘reservoir computing’. Vi drar därmed slutsatsen att mikrovågsfrekvenskammar är ett lovande verktyg för kvantteknik med supraledandekretsar.
