  1. Quantum ComputerBuilding Blocks Paola CappellaroQuantum Engineering Group - MIT

  2. The approach to QIP • Challenges in quantum information • Engineer a scalable quantum system • Control a large quantum system… • …before decoherence ruins it • Bottom-up approach • Use small quantum building blocks • Perfect their control • Combine them in a modular way

  3. Distributed quantum computing • Modular, hybrid architecture for quantum computing • quantum registers for simple algorithms and local memory • quantum actuators to interface the registers with the classical controllers • quantum wires to connect the registers

  4. Electron-nuclear spinquantum registers

  5. Quantum registers • Electronic spin surrounded by nuclear spins • Hyperfine interaction creates a local field Bhyp • Close-by nuclei quantized in Bhyp dephasing • Farther away nuclei create a fluctuating field:  electron spin decoherence Bhyp Closest nuclei have distinct frequency qubits

  6. Isolated electronic spin From 2 unpaired electrons  Spin 1 Optically active Single electronic spin observed by fluorescence Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers

  7. Confocal Microscope

  8. NV centers: optical control • Spin-selective fluorescence • Spin state read-out Fluorescence

  9. NV centers: optical control • Spin-selective fluorescence • Spin state read-out Fluorescence

  10. NV centers: optical control • Spin-selective fluorescence • Spin state read-out Fluorescence 200 ns

  11. NV centers: optical control • Spin-selective fluorescence • Initialization to ground state Effective T ~ mK at room temperature! 3E 1A1 3A2

  12. Optical initialization & readout Ground state Control via ESR Effective qubit Complex spin environment Nuclear spins: N,13C Epr impurities (nitrogens) Close-by nuclear spins quantum register NV centers: spin control

  13. Actuator Control

  14. Gates for quantum registers • Quantum register • Electronic qubit for initialization and communication • Nuclear qubits for memory and error correction • Only need 2 types of logic gates: 1)Single qubit gate 2)Controlled gate on electronic spin on nuclear spins • All other gates can be built from these two

  15. Electronic spin-only Control • Use electron as an actuator • Inducing nuclear rotation about 2 axis • Can obtain universalcontrol • Need strong anisotropy • In ms=1, faster rotation than rf pulse • Good isolation of the registers Electron  pulse ms=0 ms=1

  16. Advanced techniques • Addressing individual nuclei with rf field • Limits on nuclear Rabi frequency  long pulse times • Off-resonance modulation, pulse errors, spin couplings, … • Tools • Composite pulses • Numerically optimized pulses r.f. power t
