Optimal Measurements for Scalable Quantum Technologies

Abstract

The rules of quantum mechanics enable technologies that are inherently more powerful than their classical counterparts, including unconditionally secure communication, quantum computing, and quantum-enhanced precision sensing. A central challenge standing in the way of scalable quantum technologies is the need for fundamentally improved quantum measurement and state verification (QMSV) techniques. The objective of this program of experimental and theoretical research was to establish unified optimal QMSV protocols for leading quantum information processing (QIP) architectures, and to use them to overcome roadblocks standing in the way of scaling to higher performance systems. Our team succeeded on these goals across the various qubit platforms, making major strides towards creating, controlling, and measuring manybody quantum systems.
