Quantum entanglement between distant qubits is an important feature of quantum networks. Distribution over long distances can be enabled through coherently interfacing qubit pairs via photonic channels. Here, we report the realization optically generated electron spin confined in two semiconductor dots. The protocol relies on spin-photon trionic Λ system and erasure Raman-photon path information. measurement a single Raman photon used to project into joint state with interferometrically...
A hight degree of spin polarization is achieved for a Mn atom localized in semiconductor quantum dot using quasi-resonant optical excitation at zero magnetic field. Optically created polarized carriers generate an energy splitting the and enable moment orientation controlled by photon helicity energy.

Abstract The interaction between a confined electron and the nuclei of an optically active quantum dot provides uniquely rich manifestation central spin problem. Coherent qubit control combines with ultrafast spin–photon interface to make these spins attractive candidates for optical networks.

Coupling a qubit coherently to an ensemble is the basis for collective quantum memories. A single driven electron in dot can deterministically excite low-energy modes of nuclear spin presence lattice strain. We propose gate state transfer between this central and these excitations-spin waves-in strong magnetic field, where coherence time long. develop microscopic theory capable calculating exact evolution strained electron-nuclear system.

Quantum computing offers significant speedups, but the large number of physical qubits required for quantum error correction introduces engineering challenges a monolithic architecture. One solution is to distribute logical computation across multiple small computers, with non-local operations enabled via distributed Bell states. Previous investigations have largely focused on surface code, which good suppression poor encoding rates, each code instance only able encode single qubit. In this...
