    We propose and analyze a high-fidelity hot gate for generic spin-resonator systems which allows for coherent spin-spin coupling, in the presence of a thermally populated resonator mode. Our scheme is nonperturbative in the spin-resonator coupling strength, applies to a broad class of physical systems, including, for example, spins coupled to circuit-QED and surface acoustic wave resonators as well as nanomechanical oscillators, and can be implemented readily with state-of-the-art experimental setups. We provide and numerically verify simple expressions for the fidelity of creating maximally entangled states under realistic conditions.

    Dissipative Long-Range Entanglement Generation between Electronic Spins
    M. Benito, M.J.A. Schuetz, J.I. Cirac, G. Platero, & G. Giedke
    Phys. Rev. B 94, 115404 (2016).

    We propose a scheme for deterministic generation and long-term stabilization of entanglement between two electronic spin qubits confined in spatially separated quantum dots. Our approach relies on an electronic quantum bus, consisting either of quantum Hall edge channels or surface acoustic waves, that can mediate long-range coupling between localized spins over distances of tens of micrometers. Since the entanglement is actively stabilized by dissipative dynamics, our scheme is inherently robust against noise and imperfections.

    Quantum Mechanical Description of Raman Scattering from Molecules in Plasmonic Cavities, ACS Nano Article ASAP (2016)
    by M.K.S. Schmidt, R. Esteban, A. González-Tudela, G. Giedke, and J. Aizpurua

    Plasmon-enhanced Raman scattering can push single-molecule vibrational spectroscopy beyond a regime addressable by classical electrodynamics. We employ a quantum electrodynamics (QED) description of the coherent interaction of plasmons and molecular vibrations that reveal the emergence of nonlinearities in the inelastic response of the system. For realistic situations, we predict the onset of phonon-stimulated Raman scattering and a counterintuitive dependence of the anti-Stokes emission on the frequency of excitation. We further show that this QED framework opens a venue to analyze the correlations of photons emitted from a plasmonic cavity.

  • September 10th, 2015 - Research paper published in Physical Review X
    Universal Quantum Transducers Based on Surface Acoustic Waves, Phys. Rev. X 5 031031 (2015)
    by M.J.A. Schuetz, E.M. Kessler, G. Giedke, L.M.K. Vandersypen, M.D. Lukin, and J.I. Cirac

    We propose a universal, on-chip quantum transducer based on surface acoustic waves in piezoactive materials. Because of the intrinsic piezoelectric (and/or magnetostrictive) properties of the material, our approach provides a universal platform capable of coherently linking a broad array of qubits, including quantum dots, trapped ions, nitrogen-vacancy centers, or superconducting qubits. The quantized modes of surface acoustic waves lie in the gigahertz range and can be strongly confined close to the surface in phononic cavities and guided in acoustic waveguides. We show that this type of surface acoustic excitation can be utilized efficiently as a quantum bus, serving as an on-chip, mechanical cavity-QED equivalent of microwave photons and enabling long-range coupling of a wide range of qubits.
