Quantum Optics at 100GHz

Abstract

Superconducting quantum circuit technology has proven transformative from quantum optics and quantum communication to exotic hard matter simulation and precision metrology. At present, these tools operate at 10GHz, limiting their speed and interfaceability, and necessitating complex dilution refrigerator technology to reach the quantum regime. We request DURIP funding for equipment to extend the regime of quantum circuit technology to 100GHz; this will enable hybrid microwave/optical quantum devices mediated by Rydberg atoms, as well as faster quantum state manipulation, more compact quantum devices, and higher-temperature, 4K operation. This work leverages and extends existing DoD supported research in the PIsÕ labs, including: microwave qubit and repeater development (DIS), studies of exotic topological phases in the microwave regime (DIS & JS), and Rydberg-optical quantum interfaces and manybody state manipulation (JS).
