(QC Themes) Type-Two Quantum Computing in PBG-Based Cavities for Efficient Simulation of Lattice Gas Dynamics
Abstract
The key challenge in this project was to realize a high-quality PBG structure in a crystalline thin film of diamond. This task proved to be extremely difficult, due to severe constraints. Significant technical hurdles in the context of lithography have to be overcome before a PBG based QC can be realized in NVD. The most promising approach would be to use the polished single crystal and would require research into developing techniques for polishing diamond, and incorporating such a film into E-beam lithography, as outlined at the end of this report. We have also pursued several other lines of work, resulting in demonstrations of complimentary technologies for realizing a QC. These include (a) arbitrary pattern lithography, using atomic interferometry, (b) a QC architecture using atomic ensembles as quantum bits, (c) ultra-low power non-linear optic effects in a tapered nanofiber, as an enabling technology for optically linking ensemble-based quantum bits, and (d) suppression of driver phase correlated fluctuations in the rotation of a quantum bit. Support from this grant led to two Ph.D. theses, and a total of 21 publications, including 5 journal papers.
