Single- and Multi-Phonon Subtraction to a Mechanical Thermal State via Optomechanics
We perform single- and multi-phonon subtraction to a mechanical thermal state in a Brillouin optomechanical system. An increase in the mean mechanical occupation and non-Gaussianity in the s-parameterised Wigner phase-space distribution is observed.

Quantum electromechanics with levitated nanoparticles
, npj Quantum Information, Vol: 6, ISSN: 2056-6387Preparing and observing quantum states of nanoscale particles is a challenging task with great relevance for quantum technologies and tests of fundamental physics. In contrast to atomic systems with discrete transitions, nanoparticles exhibit a practically continuous absorption spectrum and thus their quantum dynamics cannot be easily manipulated. Here, we demonstrate that charged nanoscale dielectrics can be artificially endowed with a discrete level structure by coherently interfacing their rotational and translational motion with a superconducting qubit. We propose a pulsed scheme for the generation and read-out of motional quantum superpositions and entanglement between several levitated nanoparticles, providing an all-electric platform for networked hybrid quantum devices.

Quantum delocalized interactions
, Physical Review Letters, Vol: 125, Pages: 240406 – 1-240406 – 6, ISSN: 0031-9007Classical mechanics obeys the intuitive logic that a physical event happens at a definite spatial point. Entanglement, however, breaks this logic by enabling interactions without a specific location. In this work we study these delocalized interactions. These are quantum interactions that create less locational information than would be possible classically, as captured by the disturbance induced on some spatial superposition state. We introduce quantum games to capture the effect and demonstrate a direct operational use for quantum concurrence in that it bounds the nonclassical performance gain. We also find a connection with quantum teleportation, and demonstrate the games using an IBM quantum processor.

Enhancing dipolar interactions between molecules using state-dependent optical tweezer traps
, Physical Review Letters, Vol: 125, Pages: 243201 – 1-243201 – 6, ISSN: 0031-9007We show how state-dependent optical potentials can be used to trap a pair of molecules in different internal states at a separation much smaller than the wavelength of the trapping light. This close spacing greatly enhances thedipole-dipole interaction and we show how it can be used to implement two-qubit gates between molecules that are 100 times faster than existing protocols and than rotational coherence times already demonstrated. We analyze complications due to hyperfine structure, tensor light shifts, photon scattering and collisional loss, and conclude that none is a barrier to implementing the scheme.

Transport and localization of light inside a dye-filled microcavity
, Physical Review A: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Vol: 102, Pages: 1-9, ISSN: 1050-2947The driven-dissipative nature of light-matter interaction inside a multimode, dye-filled microcavity makes it an ideal system to study nonequilibrium phenomena, such as transport. In this work, we investigate how light is efficiently transported inside such a microcavity, mediated by incoherent absorption and emission processes. In particular, we show that there exist two distinct regimes of transport, viz. conductive and localized, arising from the complex interplay between the thermalizing effect of the dye molecules and the nonequilibrium influence of driving and loss. The propagation of light in the conductive regime occurs when several localized cavity modes undergo dynamical phase transitions to a condensed, or lasing, state. Furthermore, we observe that, while such transport is robust for weak disorder in the cavity potential, strong disorder can lead to localization of light even under good thermalizing conditions. Importantly, the exhibited transport and localization of light is a manifestation of the nonequilibrium dynamics rather than any coherent interference in the system.

Field-gradient measurement using a Stern-Gerlach atomic interferometer with butterfly geometry
, Physical Review A: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, Vol: 102, Pages: 053321 – 1-053321 – 8, ISSN: 1050-2947Atomic interferometers have been studied as a promising device for precise sensing of external fields. Among various configurations, a particular configuration with a butterfly-shaped geometry has been designed to sensitively probe field gradients. We introduce a Stern-Gerlach (SG) butterfly interferometer by incorporating magnetic field in the conventional butterfly-shaped configuration. Atomic trajectories of the interferometer can be flexibly adjusted by controlling magnetic fields to increase the sensitivity of the interferometer, while the conventional butterfly interferometer using Raman transitions can be understood as a special case. We also show that the SG interferometer can keep high contrast against a misalignment in position and momentum caused by the field gradient.

Robustness of Noether's principle: maximal disconnects between conservation laws and symmetries in quantum theory
, Physical Review X, Vol: 10, Pages: 041035 – 1-041035 – 41, ISSN: 2160-3308To what extent does Noether’s principle apply to quantum channels? Here, we quantify the degreeto which imposing a symmetry constraint on quantum channels implies a conservation law, and showthat this relates to physically impossible transformations in quantum theory, such as time-reversaland spin-inversion. In this analysis, the convex structure and extremal points of the set of quantumchannels symmetric under the action of a Lie group G becomes essential. It allows us to derivebounds on the deviation from conservation laws under any symmetric quantum channel in terms ofthe deviation from closed dynamics as measured by the unitarity of the channel E. In particular,we investigate in detail the U(1) and SU(2) symmetries related to energy and angular momentumconservation laws. In the latter case, we provide fundamental limits on how much a spin-jA systemcan be used to polarise a larger spin-jB system, and on how much one can invert spin polarisationusing a rotationally-symmetric operation. Finally, we also establish novel links between unitarity,complementary channels and purity that are of independent interest.

Memory-assisted decoder for approximate Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill codes
, Physical Review Research, Vol: 2, ISSN: 2643-1564We propose a quantum error correction protocol for continuous-variable finite-energy, approximate Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) states undergoing small Gaussian random displacement errors, based on the scheme of Glancy and Knill [Phys. Rev. A 73, 012325 (2006)]. We show that combining multiple rounds of error-syndrome extraction with Bayesian estimation offers enhanced protection of GKP-encoded qubits over comparible single-round approaches. Furthermore, we show that the expected total displacement error incurred in multiple rounds of error followed by syndrome extraction is bounded by 2√π. By recompiling the syndrome-extraction circuits, we show that all squeezing operations can be subsumed into auxiliary state preparation, reducing them to beamsplitter transformations and quadrature measurements.
