But the theory itself is universal, applying on all scales. We are now developing the tools to make even macroscopic systems show quantum phenomenon that would be impossible in the classical physics of Newton and Maxwell. Quantum mechanics has captured our imagination more than any other physical theory because of the intrinsic strangeness of many of its principles—particles as waves, light as particles, hidden correlations between systems separated by huge distances. These phenomena, however, are not manifested in our daily existence and have largely been inaccessible due to the barrier between the classical and quantum worlds. A new discipline—Quantum Science—is opening a door between our world and that of the quantum, allowing classical systems access to the most exotic quantum mechanical phenomena. The past two decades have seen an explosion in the number of systems that have been able to provide entry to the quantum realm: from superconducting circuits and semiconductor nanostructures, to trapped atoms and single-photon optics. Quantum coherent devices are real and accessible to scientists today, but building quantum technologies—exploiting the strangest quantum effects—will take a new kind of effort. It will require systems engineering in the quantum regime. 4 MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Message from the Director The great aerospace engineer, von Kármán, described his discipline thus: “Science is about understanding nature, understanding what is. By contrast, engineering is synthetic; it is about creating what has never been". The overarching goal of EQuS is to pioneer a future quantum technology engendered by our rapidly growing capability to control the world at is most fundamental level. We chose the word 'engineered' in the title of our Centre to emphasize a different attitude to quantum physics. We wish to move beyond developing experiments to reveal ever more puzzling quantum phenomenon, to engineering quantum systems de novo; to move beyond a view which sees quantum physics as the domain of the atomic realm, to engineer coherent quantum systems of any scale, from atomic dimensions to metres and beyond. This will require the development of new tools for the control of complex hybrid quantum systems. In our first year of operation we have made Professor Gerard Milburn some important first steps to realise this vision, described in more detail in this document. Experiments at The University of Queensland have shown how to control the motion of macroscopic silica mechanical resonators with light. EQuS CIs at Macquarie University, in collaboration with our Partner investigators in Germany, have shown how to exploit the quantum properties of defects in diamond to engineer a new kind of magnetometer. Theoretical work involving collaborations across the Centre have pointed the way to a new form of quantum matter capable of processing information. When Maxwell wrote down a set of partial differential equations just over 150 years ago he opened a door to a new world of engineering capability harnessing the physical realm of electromagnetism: before Maxwell, the technological world was dominated by dinosaurs of steam and mechanics, a clockwork world of levers, cogs and gears. After Maxwell came international telegraphy, wireless communication, radar, computers and CAT scanners, lasers, optical communication systems and microwave mobile phone networks. In 1926 Schrӧdinger wrote down another partial differential equation, opening a door to new quantum world. After decades of scientific and technological development, Schrӧdinger's partial differential equation is only now offering a similar technological promise to that offered by Maxwell. The world indicated by the quantum theory is strange and wonderful. EQuS is dedicated to moving beyond the wonder to build a new technology; from understanding what the quantum world is, to controlling it and “creating what has never been". 5 Building the Quantum Future Our Mission This Centre of Excellence seeks to initiate the Quantum Era in the 21st century by engineering designer quantum systems. Through focussed and visionary research we will deliver new scientific insights and fundamentally new technical capabilities across a range of disciplines. Impacts of this work will improve the lives of Australians and people all over the world by producing breakthroughs in physics, engineering, chemistry, biology and medicine. The primary goals of EQuS are to • Establish a world-leading research community driving the development of quantum technologies, with Australia as the focus of international efforts. • Stimulate the Australian scientific and engineering communities to exploit quantum devices and quantum coherence in next-generation technologies. • Train a generation of young scientists with the skills needed to lead the future of technology development. • Demonstrate the potential and capabilities of engineered quantum technologies by realizing technological breakthroughs in novel and useful engineered quantum coherent systems. • Create a design methodology supporting the development of all new technologies for the Quantum Era. | 'Silicon Skyline' by Alice Mahoney (EQuS PhD Student) Optical microscopy calibration of a pentium 90 chip 6 BUILDING THE QUANTUM FUTURE EQuS Research Program EQuS Core Research Areas The Centre of Excellence for Research efforts are organised around three Engineered Quantum Systems seeks program themes. to move from Quantum Science to Quantum Measurement and Control Quantum Engineering—building and crafting new quantum technologies Addresses scientific challenges in quantum limited unlike anything the world has seen measurement and control, to enable demonstrations before. of quantum solutions for control engineered problems in each technology platform.

The ultimate miniaturization of electronic devices will likely require local and coherent control of single electronic wavefunctions. Wavefunctions exist within both physical real space and an abstract state space with a simple geometric interpretation: this state space—or Hilbert space—is spanned by mutually orthogonal state vectors corresponding to the quantized degrees of freedom of the real-space system. Measurement of superpositions is akin to accessing the direction of a vector in Hilbert space, determining an angle of rotation equivalent to quantum phase. Here we show that an individual atom inside a designed quantum corral1 can control this angle, producing arbitrary coherent superpositions of spatial quantum states. Using scanning tunnelling microscopy and nanostructures assembled atom-by-atom2 we demonstrate how single spins and quantum mirages3 can be harnessed to image the superposition of two electronic states. We also present a straightforward method to determine the atom path enacting phase rotations between any desired state vectors. A single atom thus becomes a real- space handle for an abstract Hilbert space, providing a simple technique for coherent quantum state manipulation at the spatial limit of condensed matter.

Bulgaria Republic [email protected] , [email protected] Abstract: Mathematics is a technological necessity for manufacturing but casting in micro-foundry. The need to describe the first-order phase transition process is based on physical experiments with this transition based on theoretical and mathematical physics. The natural basis of any science is the use of mathematics, which is a basic motivation for its self-development. Keywords: MATHEMATICS, FOUNDRY, MICROSTRUCTURE, INFRASTRUCTUR OF KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER 1. Introduction represented by the density of the packing density coefficient in Fig. 2 The capabilities of foundries and computational mathematics are presented very clearly in Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Scheme – casting structure of meso- level [3]: a) η – packing density coefficient, vS – volume of atom, vSη – volume of cell, where have only one atom; b) 2D an ideal crystal lattice composed of Wigner-Seitz cells. The calculations of the casting structure at the meso-level are carried out at scales of Å and nm. It is well known that a scale of 1 µm is a macro size. The theoretical model [3] includes the tasks: Stephan and Stephan - Schwarz; the atomic level is the model of Kosel-Stranski-Folmer-Kaishev and the basic equation of Kashchiev with variable thermodynamic driving force and thermodynamics of supesaturation (supercooling).

  • Realistic Read-Out and Control for Si:P Based Quantum Computers
    Realistic read-out and control for Si:P based quantum computers by Matthew James Testolin BSc(Hons) Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Physics The University of Melbourne Australia August, 2008 Abstract This thesis identifies problems with the current operation proposals for Si:P based solid-state quantum computing architectures and outlines realistic alter- natives as an effective fix. The focus is qubit read-out and robust two-qubit control of the exchange interaction in the presence of both systematic and environmental errors. We develop a theoretical model of the doubly occupied D− read-out state found in Si:P based nuclear spin architectures. We test our theory by using it to determine the binding energy of the D− state, comparing to known re- sults. Our model can be used in detailed calculations of the adiabatic read-out protocol proposed for these devices. Regarding this protocol, preliminary cal- culations suggest the small binding energy of the doubly occupied read-out state will result in a state dwell-time less than that required for measurement using a single electron transistor (SET). We propose and analyse an alterna- tive approach to single-spin read-out using optically induced spin to charge transduction, showing that the top gate biases required for qubit selection are significantly less than those demanded by the adiabatic scheme, thereby in- + creasing the D D− lifetime. Implications for singlet-triplet discrimination for electron spin qubits are also discussed. On the topic of robust two-qubit control, we demonstrate how by using two-qubit composite rotations a high fidelity controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate can be constructed, even when the strength of the interaction between qubits is not accurately known.
