Simple factorization of unitary transformations [PDF]
We demonstrate a method for general linear optical networks that allows one to factorize any SU($n$) matrix in terms of two SU($n-1)$ blocks coupled by an SU(2) entangling beam splitter.

Quantum teleportation of electrons in quantum wires with surface acoustic waves [PDF]
We propose and numerically simulate a semiconductor device based on coupled quantum wires, suitable for deterministic quantum teleportation of electrons trapped in the minima of surface acoustic waves.We exploit a network of interacting semiconductor quantum wires able to provide the universal set of gates for quantum information processing, with the ...

Circuit quantum acoustodynamics with surface acoustic waves [PDF]
AbstractThe experimental investigation of quantum devices incorporating mechanical resonators has opened up new frontiers in the study of quantum mechanics at a macroscopic level. It has recently been shown that surface acoustic waves (SAWs) can be piezoelectrically coupled to superconducting qubits, and confined in high-quality Fabry–Perot cavities in

Time Reversal Mirror and Perfect Inverse Filter in a Microscopic Model for Sound Propagation [PDF]
Time reversal of quantum dynamics can be achieved by a global change of the Hamiltonian sign (a hasty Loschmidt daemon), as in the Loschmidt Echo experiments in NMR, or by a local but persistent procedure (a stubborn daemon) as in the Time Reversal ...

Control of coherent backscattering by breaking optical reciprocity [PDF]
Reciprocity is a universal principle that has a profound impact on many areas of physics. A fundamental phenomenon in condensed-matter physics, optical physics and acoustics, arising from reciprocity, is the constructive interference of quantum or ...

Quantum effects in acoustic black holes: The backreaction [PDF]
We investigate the backreaction equations for an acoustic black hole formed in a Laval nozzle under the assumption that the motion of the fluid is one-dimensional. The solution in the near-horizon region shows that as phonons are (thermally) radiated the sonic horizon shrinks and the temperature decreases.

Quantum control of surface acoustic-wave phonons [PDF]
The superposition of quantum states is one of the hallmarks of quantum physics, and clear demonstrations of superposition have been achieved in a number of quantum systems. However, mechanical systems have remained a challenge, with only indirect demonstrations of mechanical state superpositions, in spite of the intellectual appeal and technical ...

Surface acoustic wave resonators on thin film piezoelectric substrates in the quantum regime
Lithium niobate (LNO) is a well established material for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices including resonators, delay lines and filters. Recently, multi-layer substrates based on LNO thin films have become commercially available.

Extremely Low Loss Phonon-Trapping Cryogenic Acoustic Cavities for Future Physical Experiments [PDF]
Low loss Bulk Acoustic Wave devices are considered from the point of view of the solid state approach as phonon-confining cavities. We demonstrate effective design of such acoustic cavities with phonon-trapping techniques exhibiting extremely high ...

Acoustic edge magnetoplasmons and the quantum Hall effect [PDF]
The nonequilibrium properties of integer channels that affect the magnetoplasma dynamics of degenerate, regularly inhomogeneous 2D electron systems under integral quantum Hall conditions are discussed. It is shown that the presence of an integer strip near the perimeter of a 2D electron system with a “soft” electron density profile should quench some ...
