The Quantum Paper Club is organized by students for students. Its goal is to expose the students interested in Quantum Engineering to the research done in the field. More than this, it is a formidable platform to practice public scientific speaking.
The Quantum Paper Club usually takes place on Thursdays at 17:45 in HIT H42. If you would like to present, please contact Kai Gamlin () or Gaétan Membrez ().

18.04.2024Wojciech Adamczyk
When you want to trap neutral atoms in optical tweezers you better be cold. And when I say cold I don’t mean dilution fridge cold. I mean 10 times colder.

27.03.2024Maurice D. Hanisch
Quantum computers can provide asymptotically faster computation times than their classical counterparts in specific applications.

Dipolar interactions, particularly relevant in strongly magnetic atoms,…

---|---|---|---|---|
26.04.2022 | The impact of quantum mechanics on philosophy | Lev Vaidman (Professor @ Tel Aviv University) | The uncertainty principle and Bell-type correlations led to a dramatic change in the philosophy of science. Today we are ready to accept indeterminism and some kind of action at a distance. I will argue that this move is not necessary and maybe mistaken. Accepting the existence of multiple parallel worlds allows restoring determinism and avoiding action at a distance. The issue of probability in the many-worlds framework, however, requires introducing a novel element in science. Warning: I plan to split the world during the talk! | |
19.04.2022 | Dynamic generation of entangled electrons in a Cooper pair splitter | Fredrik Brange (PostDoc @ Aalto University) | Cooper pair splitters are promising candidates for generating spin-entangled electrons. However, the splitting of Cooper pairs is a random and noisy process, which hinders further synchronized operations on the entangled electrons. To circumvent this problem, we propose and analyze a dynamic Cooper pair splitter that produces a noiseless and regular flow of spin-entangled electrons. The Cooper pair splitter is based on a superconductor coupled to quantum dots, whose energy levels are tuned in and out of resonance to control the splitting process. We identify the optimal operating conditions for which exactly one Cooper pair is split per period of the external drive and the flow of entangled electrons becomes noiseless. To characterize the regularity of the Cooper pair splitter in the time domain, we analyze the g(2) function of the output currents and the distribution of waiting times between split Cooper pairs. Our proposal is feasible using current technology, and it paves the way for dynamic quantum information processing with spin-entangled electrons. | Link |
12.04.2022 | Introduction to dissipation engineering | Elias Zapusek (PhD @ ETH TIQI) | Dissipation arises in quantum systems due to interaction with environment. In unitary quantum information processing dissipation is primarily considered as a source of noise. However, we can also use controlled dissipation to manipulate quantum systems. Starting from the most well-known example optical pumping and moving on to more complex schemes I will give a brief introduction to the field of dissipation engineering. | Link |
05.04.2022 | Saving the cat: From open quantum systems to bosonic quantum error correction | David Schlegel (PhD @ EPFL) | A popular approach for realizing a fault-tolerant quantum computer is to construct logical qubits encoded in multiple physical two-level qubits. Recent alternative approaches are based on bosonic quantum codes which are quantum error correcting (QEC) codes that redundantly encode quantum information in the states of a quantum harmonic oscillator, making it possible to detect and correct errors, while reducing the hardware resource overhead. In this talk, I will provide an overview of QEC in bosonic systems and review various bosonic quantum codes such as GKP and cat codes. Furthermore, I will show recent results on a novel bosonic quantum code, called the squeezed cat code, that enables to correct both dephasing and loss errors. We show that with moderate squeezing, and using typical parameters of state-of-the-art quantum hardware platforms, the squeezed cat code has a resilience to loss errors and dephasing errors that significantly outperform that of the conventional cat code. | Link |
29.03.2022 | Hardware-Tailored Diagonalization Circuits | Daniel Miller (PhD @ IBM) | A central building block of many quantum algorithms is the diagonalization of Pauli operators. Although it is always possible to construct a quantum circuit that simultaneously diagonalizes a given set of commuting Pauli operators, only resource-efficient circuits are reliably executable on near-term quantum computers. Generic diagonalization circuits can lead to an unaffordable Swap-gate overhead on quantum devices with limited hardware connectivity. A common alternative is excluding two-qubit gates, however, this comes at the cost of restricting the class of diagonalizable sets of Pauli operators to tensor product bases (TPBs). In this letter, we introduce a theoretical framework for constructing hardware-tailored (HT) diagonalization circuits. We apply our framework to group the Pauli operators occurring in the decomposition of a given Hamiltonian into jointly-HT-diagonalizable sets. We investigate several classes of popular Hamiltonians and observe that our approach requires a smaller number of measurements than conventional TPB approaches. Finally, we experimentally demonstrate the practical applicability of our technique, which showcases the great potential of our circuits for near-term quantum computing. | Link |
22.03.2022 | Photon-Pair generation from single LiNbO3 microcubes and GaAs nanowires | Saerens Grégoire (PhD @ ETH) | Nonclassical light sources are highly sought after as they are an integral part of quantum communication and quantum computation devices. Typical sources rely on bulk crystals that are not compact and have limited bandwidth due to phase-matching conditions. Here I will present generation of photon pairs at the telecommunication wavelength from free-standing LiNbO 3 microcubes and free-standing GaAs cut Nanowires using the spontaneous parametric down- conversion process. I will show the fabrication process for each of this nanostructure, the setup configuration for free space spontaneous parametric down-conversion, as well as the alignment challenges when trying to observe this wavelength conversion process in transmission. We will compare experimental as well as simulation results for both nanostructures. | Link |

It enables communication beyond the loss limit of direct communication and lets us use more complex protocols for quantum computation. Here I will present the ensemble based quantum memory approach we are perusing in Geneva and show how this lets us store a record number of quantum states in a rare earth ion doped crystal. Especially our recent work on Ytterbium is very competitive in terms of capacity and storage time which makes it a perfect candidate implementation in a largescale quantum network. | |
