Pełny tekst źródłaIn this thesis various subjects at the crossroads of quantummechanics and device physics are treated, spanning from afundamental study on quantum measurements to fabricationtechniques of controlling gates for nanoelectroniccomponents.
Electron waveguide components, i.e. electronic componentswith a size such that the wave nature of the electron dominatesthe device characteristics, are treated both experimentally andtheoretically. On the experimental side, evidence of partialballistic transport at room-temperature has been found anddevices controlled by in-plane Pt/GaAs gates have beenfabricated exhibiting an order of magnitude improvedgate-efficiency as compared to an earlier gate-technology. Onthe theoretical side, a novel numerical method forself-consistent simulations of electron waveguide devices hasbeen developed. The method is unique as it incorporates anenergy resolved charge density calculation allowing for e.g.calculations of electron waveguide devices to which a finitebias is applied. The method has then been used in discussionson the influence of space-charge on gate-control of electronwaveguide Y-branch switches.
Electron waveguides were also used in a proposal for a novelscheme of carrierinjection in low-dimensional semiconductorlasers, a scheme which altogether by- passes the problem ofslow carrier relaxation in suchstructures. By studying aquantum mechanical two-level system serving as a model forelectroabsorption modulators, the ultimate limits of possiblemodulation rates of such modulators have been assessed andfound to largely be determined by the adiabatic response of thesystem. The possibility of using a microwave field to controlRabi oscillations in two-level systems such that a large numberof states can be engineered has also been explored.
A more fundamental study on quantum mechanical measurementshas been done, in which the transition from a classical to aquantum "interaction free" measurement was studied, making aconnection with quantum non-demolition measurements.

Pełny tekst źródłaNeurala nätverk har varit en stor del av utvecklingen av maskininlärning som ett forskningsområde i det senaste årtiondet, och dessa nätverk har flera appliceringsområden, som till exempel klassificieringsproblemet. Parallelt med denna utveckling, har forskning kring kvantdatorer vuxit fram, med flera kvantsystem allmänt tillgängliga via molnet. Denna tillgänglighet har lett till skapandet av ett nytt forskningsområde; kvantmaskininlärning, som försöker skapa motsvarigheter till klassiska maskininlärningsmetoder på kvantdatorer. En sån metod är kvantneurala nätverk som inspireras av klassiska neurala nätverk. I denna avhandling designar vi ett kvantneuralt närverk som är kompatibel med nuvarande kvantsystem, som kännetecknas av ett begränsat antal qubits och korta dekoherenstider. Dessutom tillhandahåller vi en implementering av en klassificerare med ett kvantneuralt nätverk, med hjälp av IBMs programvaruutvecklingsmiljö Qiskit. Vi utför ett binärt klassificeringsexperiment på en delmängd av MNIST-datamängden, och våra resultatvisar en klassificeringsnoggrannhet på 80,6% för ett kvantneuralt nätverk med kretsdjup 20.

Pełny tekst źródłaOne of the main issues in the domain of quantum information and communication is the generation,manipulation and detection of several qubits on a single chip. Several approaches are currentlyinvestigated for the implementation of qubits on different types of physical supports and a varietyof quantum information technologies are under development: for quantum memories, spectacularadvances have been done on trapped atoms and ions, while to transmit information, photons arethe ideal support thanks to their high speed of propagation and their almost immunity againstdecoherence. My thesis work has been focused on the conception, fabrication and characterization ofa miniaturized semiconductor source of entangled photons, working at room temperature and telecomwavelengths. First the theoretical concepts relevant to understand the work are described (chapter1). Then the conception and fabrication procedures are given (chapter 2). Chapter 3 presents theoptoelectronics characterization of the device under electrical pumping, and chapter 4 the resultson the optical losses measurements and the nonlinear optical characterization (second harmonicgeneration, spontaneous parametric down conversion and joint spectral intensity reconstruction).Chapters 5 and 6 focus on the characterization of the quantum state generated by a passive sample(demonstration of indistinguishability and energy-time entanglement) and its utilization in a multiuserquantum key distribution protocol (polarization entanglement). Finally the work on the firstelectrically driven photon pairs source emitting in the telecom range and working at room temperatureis presented (chapter 7)

Pełny tekst źródłaIl lavoro presentato in questa tesi tratta principalmente due argomenti quali le termodinamica quantistica e l'ordine topologico. Nel primo caso fisici stanno provando a costruire una teoria capace to descrivere abbastanza in generale gli scambi di calore ed energia in sistemi quantistici. Il secondo argomento, invece, si relaziona a fenomini e stati della meteria esotici come l'effetto "fractional quantum hall" o gli isolanti e superconduttori topologici. Nella prima parte della tesi definiamo la dinamica quantistica per un sistema chiuso ed aperto. Questo é fondamentale per trattare il campo della termodinamica quantistica. Poi, dopo una parte introduttiva sulle trasformazioni termodinamiche quantistiche, ci si sposta verso il campo delle relazioni di fluttuazione non all'equilibrio. Viene trattato il problema dell'irreversibilità tanto nella meccanica classica quanto in quella quantistica. Qui presentiamo uno dei nostri maggiori risultati. Caratterizziamo un'evoluzione adiabatica "termodinamica" irreversibile di un sistema quantistico il cui stato iniziale é uno di equilibrio alla temperatura inversa iniziale ßi. Viene ricavato l'incremento di entropia termodinamica del processo. Come applicazione diretta del risultato precedente si é considerato un ciclo Otto quantistico (QOC). Abbiamo notato che l'aumentare del carattere irreversibile dell'evoluzione inficia le principali figure di merito del ciclo. La seconda parte della tisi, invece, guarda al campo dell'ordine topologico. All'inizio introduciamo i concetti di ordine, classi ed invarianti topologici. Poi introduciamo il ben noto modello di Kitaev per superconduttori 1 D. Questo modello prevede "Majorana zero mode" (MZM) ai capi del filo (il sistema 1 D). I Majorana zero modes sono stati topologici che mostrano una grande resistenza contro il disordine, perurbazioni locali e ogni genere di elemento dissipativo. In viene considerata una generalizzazione del modello di Kitaev con interazioni a molti vicini. Vengono ricavati diagrammi di fase topologica molto "ricchi" che mostrano la presenza di molti MZM per lato. Inoltre si studia l'apparire e scomparire di tali modi a seconda della simmetria di inversione temporale, che é fondamentale per lo studio della fase topologica. I diagrammi di fase mostrano anche la presenza di massive edge modes. In questo ultimo caso gli invarianti topologici non descrivono bene tutte le transizioni. In fine ci siamo focalizzati sul caso limite dove gli MZM sono ottenuti quando il sistema ha una lunghezza finita. Tali casi sono molto interressanti visto il grande vantaggio che possiamo ricavarne in un setup sperimentale dato che il sistema può grandezza ridotta. L'ultima parte é sui dispositivi single electron tunneling. Qui abbiamo descritto la differente capacità a lavorare come "heat-to-current harvester" per un dispositivo che usa quantum dots rispetto ad uno analogo che usa metallic dots. Questi argomenti differenti trovano un punto di unione considerando lavori scientifici recenti in cui si considera trasporto di calore su dispositivi "single electron tuunneling" in cui alcune delle componenti circuitali dei dispositivi mostrano una natura topologica. Sono sistemi perfetti dai quali possiamo ottenere nuovi fenomeni di trasporto.

Pełny tekst źródłaUna memòria quàntica (MQ) és un dispositiu que té la capacitat d'emmagatzemar l'estat quàntic de la llum i retornar-lo després d'un temps controlat.És un element important en la ciència de la informació quàntica i és un dispositiu crucial per a arquitectures de repetidors quàntica.Els sistemes d'estat sòlid basats en ions de terres rares són candidats prometedors per implementar MQs, ja que combinen els avantatges dels sistemes sòlids (escalabilitat i poca complexitat experimental) amb els llargs temps de coherència dels sistemes atòmics.En aquesta tesis he investigat tres protocols diferents de MQ en un cristall de Pr3+:Y2SiO5. La primera part descriu la primera demostració del protocol de memòria basat en forats espectrals (MFE), que va ser proposat teòricament el 2009. Aquest protocol es basa en disminuir la velocitat de la llum en un forat espectral de vida llarga i transferir les excitacions a un estat d'espín. Comencem preparant un forat espectral, després enviem un pols de llum amb una amplada espectral comparable a la del forat i aturem la llum comprimida en el cristall transferint la coherència fora de ressonància a l'estat d'espín amb un pols òptic.Seguidament un segon pols retorna la coherència i porta a l'emissió de la llum emmagatzemada. Aconseguim una eficiència d'emmagatzematge i recuperació de 40% en el règim clàssic i de 31% al nivell de fotons individuals, amb una relació senyal-soroll de 33 ±4 per un nombre mitjà de fotons incidents igual a 1. Aquests resultats demostren la memòria òtica operant al nivell de fotons individuals amb més eficiència i més lliure de soroll. La segona part de la tesis descriu nous experiments que utilitzen el protocol de pintes de freqüència atòmiques (PFA). Aquest està basat en modificar el perfil d'absorció eixamplat inhomogèniament dels ions de terres rares, creant pics d'absorció periòdics que indueixen la reemissió del camp de llum absorbit, després d'un cert temps que ve determinat per la separació dels pics. En aquest capítol descric varis experiments de PFA. Primer presento l'emmagatzematge en el nostre cristall de fotons amb freqüència convertida des de telecom, obtenint una eficiència total de 1.9 ± 0.2% per un temps d'emmagatzematge de 1.6us i una relació senyal-soroll de més de 200 per un nombre mitjà de fotons incidents igual a 1. Seguidament discuteixo els resultats obtinguts amb una millorada eficiència d'emmagatzematge en l'estat excitat per temps d'emmagatzematge llargs, on vam obtenir 30% per temps curts i 17% a 10us. I finalment presento un experiment de PFA amb ona d'espín on vam obtenir una relació senyal-soroll de 28 ± 8 per un nombre mitjà de fotons incidents igual a 1, el valor més alt assolit mai en un experiment d'aquest tipus. Finalment, en la última part, descric la primera demostració d'una font de parelles de fotons d'estat sòlid integrada amb una memòria quàntica multimodal. L'objectiu del protocol és combinar en un sol sistema una font de fotons individuals i una MQ, com té lloc en el conegut esquema de Duan-Lukin-Cirac-Zoller (DLCZ), però en aquest cas amb un cristall en lloc d'un sistema d'àtoms freds.El protocol agafa els avantatges del protocol PFA per refasar els ions i obtenir una recuperació eficient. Utilitzant PFA fa que el protocol sigui temporalment multimodal.En l'experiment, després de la preparació de la PFA, enviem un pols d'escriptura en ressonància i detectem un fotó Stokes que anuncia excitacions d'espín individuals. Un temps més tard, un pols de lectura transfereix l'excitació d'espín de tornada cap a l'estat excitat i detectem fotons anti-Stokes. Mostrem fortes correlacions de segon ordre no-clàssiques entre els fotons de Stokes i anti-Stokes i demostrem l'emmagatzematge de 11 modes temporals. Els resultats presentats en aquesta tesis representen una contribució significativa en el camp de les memòries quàntiques d'estat sòlid i un pas important cap a la realització d'arquitectures de xarxes quàntiques amb sistemes d'estat sòlid

The use of quantum dots as discrete emitters in hybrid organic/inorganic light emitting devices is an attractive approach for producing novel display products. These structures exhibit narrow-band emission tunable across the visible spectrum - characteristics allowing for display devices not possible with current OLEO materials. In this work, quantum dot light emitting devices (QD-LEDs) using small molecule host materials are evaluated as a potential platform for the growing OLEO industry. Specific applications are suggested and the primary technology hurdles identified. A search of relevant patents pertaining to quantum dot synthesis and device structure was conducted to reveal a significant opportunity for the commercialization of QD-LED devices. A business model has been devised based upon several developing companies in the OLEO industry with a focus on licensing of technology as the primary source of revenue.

The terahertz (THz) frequency range (f=0.3-10 THz, [lambda]=30-1000 lam) is much less technologically developed that the adjacent microwave and infrared frequency ranges, but offers several advantages for imaging applications: THz wavelengths offer better spatial resolutions than microwave frequencies, and THz radiation is able to penetrate materials that are opaque at infrared frequencies (e.g. packaging, plastics, paints and semiconductors). These features, combined with the unique THz spectral signatures of chemicals have lead to the development of terahertz imaging systems for non-destructive test. However, the weak radiation sources in these existing systems result in single pixel scanning architectures requiring minutes to acquire images or enhanced speed at the expense of signal to noise ratio (SNR). In this thesis, a system for real-time imaging is demonstrated using recently developed terahertz quantum-cascade laser (QCL) sources, along with commercial, focal plane array thermal detectors. The system uses a high power (48 mW) 4.3-THz QCL, which is also used to characterize the focal plane array, resulting in a noise equivalent power (NEP) of 320 pW/Hz. The source and detector are used in a synchronous detection scheme, resulting in an SNR of ~25 dB/pixel at a 20-Hz frame rate. This represents a two order of magnitude improvement in speed over previous systems at comparable SNRs. Real-time imaging over a 25-m distance is described, using a QCL adjusted for emission in the narrow 4.9 THz atmospheric transmission window.
(cont.) The challenges posed by the long THz wavelengths in QCL waveguide design leads to a tradeoff between high temperature operation (<186K) and high power/good beam patterns (248 mW peak, l2deg FWHM). To mitigate these tradeoffs, a technique for buttcoupling a metal-metal waveguide QCL to an index matched lens is developed. The resulting device achieves the highest reported power for a MM waveguide (145 mW peak) and while retaining a high operating temperature (160 K) and achieving a narrow beam pattern (<5deg). The lens coupling technique is also used to add spectroscopic capability to the system, through the development of an external cavity QCL. The butt-coupling of an antireflection coated lens to a semi-insulating surface plasmon waveguide QCL results in increased optical losses and suppression of lasing. Lasing is recovered using an external optical system with a reflective grating for frequency selective feedback. A device is characterized showing 4% tuning range at ~4.4 THz, and is among the first demonstrations of tunable THz QLCs.

Quantum emitters, such as color centers (e.g., nitrogen-vacancy color centers in diamond), have a wide range of applications in quantum information processing, bioimaging, and quantum sensing. Such quantum emitters are typically addressed optically and store their quantum state as an electron spin that can subsequently be read out optically. For this process to work effectively, an efficient light-matter interaction must be achieved, which is difficult given the small interaction cross section of an atomic memory with the optical field. In this thesis, I address three problems that relate to the engineering of a quantum device. The first problem centers on the fact that most quantum emitters are randomly positioned throughout their host lattice making it difficult to lithographically pattern structures intended to increase the light-matter interaction. While there is a non-zero chance that a small number of randomly aligned structures will coincide with randomly positioned emitters, when efforts to scale such a system are made the yield drops exponentially. The second problem has to do with scaling. As systems scale up to larger sets of interacting qubits, it becomes increasingly necessary to produce quantum emitters with narrow optical transitions and long spin coherence times. The third problem is related to the development of tools to manage experiments and data in a more robust, team-centric, and structured manner. The automation of systems to measure qubits and devices that enables improvement of each step in the design process will be crucial if efforts to scale devices beyond a handful of qubits are to be successful. Here, I will review the progress that I made in each of these areas.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe field of quantum chaos investigates the quantum mechanical behavior of classically chaotic systems. This dissertation begins by describing an experiment conducted on an apparatus constructed to represent a three dimensional analog of a classically chaotic system. Patterns of reflected light are shown to produce fractals, and the behavior of the fractal dimension D F is shown to depend on the light's ability to escape the apparatus. The classically chaotic system is then used to investigate the conductance properties of semiconductor heterostructures engineered to produce a conducting plane relatively free of impurities and defects. Introducing walls that inhibit conduction to partition off sections considerably smaller than the mean distance between impurities defines devices called 'billiards'. Cooling to low temperatures enables the electrons traveling through the billiard to maintain quantum mechanical phase. Exposure to a changing electric or magnetic field alters the electron's phase, leading to fluctuations in the conductance through the billiard. Magnetoconductance fluctuations in billiards have previously been shown to be fractal. This behavior has been charted using an empirical parameter, Q , that is a measure of the resolution of the energy levels within the billiard. The relationship with Q is shown to extend beyond the ballistic regime into the 'quasi-ballistic' and 'diffusive' regimes, characterized by having defects within the conduction plane. A model analogous to the classically chaotic system is proposed as the origin of the fractal conductance fluctuations. This model is shown to be consistent with experiment and to account for changes of fine scale features in MCF known to occur when a billiard is brought to room temperature between low temperature measurements. An experiment is conducted in which fractal conductance fluctuations (FCF) are produced by exposing a billiard to a changing electric field. Comparison of D F values of FCF produced by electric fields is made to FCF produced by magnetic fields. FCF with high D F values are shown to de-correlate at smaller increments of field than the FCF with lower D F values. This indicates that FCF may be used as a novel sensor of external fields, so the response of FCF to high bias voltages is investigated.

At such dimensions, classical simulation tools must be substituted by quan- tum ones. Such substitution implies to tackle new fundamental problems. First, the many-body problem makes (almost) impossible the exact simulation of many particles scenarios. Second, the measurement problem is especially relevant in high-frequency scenarios where multi-time measurements are mandatory. Alternatively to the orthodox theory, Bohmian mechanics emerges as a quantum theory which is specially well-equipped for the simulation of high-frequency characteristic of quantum electron devices. The Bohmian theory provides the conditional wave function that guides particles with well-defined positions. In this thesis, I explored quantum transport using Bohmian mechanics, putting special emphasis to graphene, a 2D material with linear bandstructure, which is expected to play an important role in the next future electronics. Differently from other materi- als, graphene obeys the bispinor Dirac equation, electrons behave as massless particles, exhibiting exotic behaviors, such as the Klein Tunneling effect. During the thesis, the quantum BITLLES simulator has been improved to correctly model electron nanodevices with either linear (by the inclusion of the complex bispinor Dirac equation) or parabolic bandstructures in either ballistic or dissipative (by the inclusion of the complete positive Bohmian scattering approach) systems. Thus, the BITLLES has become the candidate for substituting the versatile semiclassical Monte Carlo approach in the quantum regime, while keeping the versatility to predict DC, AC and noise performances. As practical applications, during the thesis, unexpected scattering probabilities in a Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment were predicted. In addition, different current-voltage char- acteristics were analyzed. Finally, a new limit (due to the discrete nature of charge) for ultra-small logic applications working at THz frequencies was predicted.
