Article Abstract

We present a proposal to enhance the cross-Kerr coupling between the cavity and the mechanical oscillator significantly. Specifically, the periodic modulation of the mechanical spring constant induces strong mechanical parametric amplification, which leads to the cross-Kerr nonlinear enhancement. Also, we discuss its application in photon-phonon blockade and phonon-number measurement. We find that under the strong cross-Kerr coupling condition, not only the photon-phonon blockade effect is dramatically enhanced but also different phonon number is clearly distinguished. Our results offer an alternative approach to perform quantum manipulation between photon and phonon.

Ultrafast superconducting qubit readout with the quarton coupler.

Fast, high-fidelity, and quantum nondemolition (QND) qubit readout is an essential element of quantum information processing. For superconducting qubits, state-of-the-art readout is based on a dispersive cross-Kerr coupling between a qubit and its readout resonator. The resulting readout can be high fidelity and QND, but readout times are currently limited to the order of 50 nanoseconds due to the dispersive cross-Kerr of magnitude 10 megahertz.

Terahertz electromagnetically induced optical limiter in asymmetric coupled quantum wells.

This paper explores the optical limiting (OL) characteristics of an input probe field within a closed-loop asymmetric coupled quantum well (ACQW) system. Our research reveals that the application of Terahertz (THz) coupling laser fields can induce the OL behavior within the THz domain in the ACQW. The study demonstrates that revers saturable absorption arises through cross-Kerr nonlinearity, contributing to the emergence of OL behavior.

Erasure Detection of a Dual-Rail Qubit Encoded in a Double-Post Superconducting Cavity.

Qubits with predominantly erasure errors present distinctive advantages for quantum error correction (QEC) and fault-tolerant quantum computing. Logical qubits based on dual-rail encoding that exploit erasure detection have been recently proposed in superconducting circuit architectures, with either coupled transmons or cavities. Here, we implement a dual-rail qubit encoded in a compact, double-post superconducting cavity.

We investigate the generation and control of the reverse saturable absorption (RSA) and optical limiting (OL) at microwave (mw) range in high-Q single-crystal diamond mechanical resonator (DMR) embedded with many nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. The strain-induced acoustic modes enable mechanical manipulation of NV centers. On the basis of strain-coupling mechanism, it is shown that the saturable absorption (SA) switches to the RSA by applying the acoustic field, leading to induce the OL in the diamond through the cross-Kerr effect.

Simultaneous ground-state cooling of multiple degenerate mechanical modes is a difficult issue in optomechanical systems, owing to the existence of the dark mode effect. Here we propose a universal and scalable method to break the dark mode effect of two degenerate mechanical modes by introducing cross-Kerr (CK) nonlinearity. At most, four stable steady states can be achieved in our scheme in the presence of the CK effect, unlike the bistable behavior of the standard optomechanical system.
