Information quantique

Résumé

La théorie de l'information quantique, parfois abrégée simplement en information quantique, est un développement de la théorie de l'information de Claude Shannon exploitant les propriétés de la mécanique quantique, notamment le principe de superposition ou encore l'intrication. L'unité qui est utilisée pour quantifier l'information quantique est le qubit, par analogie avec le bit d'information classique. Parmi les sous-branches de l'information quantique, on peut notamment citer :

L'informatique quantique
La cryptographie quantique
Les codes correcteurs quantiques
Les communications quantiques

Historique En 1982, Richard Feynman fait le constat de la complexité à simuler des systèmes quantiques par un ordinateur classique. Cette difficulté provient de la propriété que possèdent ces systèmes de pouvoir se trouver simultanément dans une superposition d'états quantiques. Il propose alors de construire un ordinateur quantique qui exploiterait le parallélisme quantiq

The enormous advancements in the ability to detect and manipulate single quantum states have lead to the emerging field of quantum technologies. Among these, quantum computation is the most far-reaching and challenging, aiming to solve problems that the classic computers could never address because of the exponential scaling, while quantum sensing exploits the ability to address single quantum states to realize ultra-sensitive and precise detectors. Defect centers in semiconductors play a primary role in these fields. The possibility to store information in the spin of their ground state, manipulate it through microwaves, and read it optically allows to use them as qubits. In addition, the very sharp dependence of their properties on temperature, strain and magnetic fields makes them very promising quantum sensors. In this Thesis we aim at contributing to the progress of quantum technologies both at the hardware and software level. From a hardware point of view, we study a key property of defect centers in semiconductors, the phonon-assisted luminescence, which can be measured to perform the readout of the information stored in a quantum bit, or to detect temperature variations. We predict the luminescence and study the exciton-phonon couplings within a rigorous many-body perturbation theory framework,an analysis that has never been performed for defect centers.In particular, we study the optical emission of the negatively-charged boron vacancy in 2D hexagonal boron nitride, which currently stands out among defect centers in 2D materials thanks to its promise for applications in quantum information and quantum sensing. We show that phonons are responsible for the observed luminescence, which otherwise would be dark due to symmetry. We also show that the symmetry breaking induced by the static Jahn-Teller effect is not able to describe the presence of the experimentally observed peak at 1.5 eV.The knowledge of the coupling between electrons and phonons is fundamental for the accurate prediction of all the features of the photoluminescence spectrum. However, the large number of atoms in a defect supercell hinders the possibility use density functional perturbation theory to study this coupling. In this work we present a finite-differences technique to calculate the electron-phonon matrix elements, which exploits the symmetries of the defect in such a way to use the very same set of displacement needed for the calculation of phonons. The computation of electron-phonon coupling thus becomes a simple post-processing of the finite-differences phonons calculation. On the quantum software side, we propose an improved quantum algorithm to calculate the Green's function through real-time propagation, and use it to compute the retarded Green's function for the 2-, 3- and 4-site Hubbard models. This novel protocol significantly reduces the number of controlled operations when compared to those previously suggested in literature. Such reduction is quite remarkable when considering the 2-site Hubbard model, for which we show that it is possible to obtain the exact time propagation of the

Guard-Ring-Free InGaAs/InP Single-Photon Avalanche Diode Based on a Novel One-Step Zn-Diffusion Technique

Claudio Bruschini, Edoardo Charbon, Utku Karaca, Ekin Kizilkan, Myung Jae Lee, Vladimir Pesic

This work presents a novel InGaAs/InP SPAD structure fabricated using a selective area growth (SAG) method. The surface topography of the selectively grown film deposited within the 70 mu m diffusion apertures is used to engineer the Zn diffusion profile to suppress premature edge breakdown. The device achieves a highly uniform active area without the need for shallow diffused guard ring (GR) regions that are inherent in standard InGaAs/InP SPADs. We have obtained 33% and 43% photon detection probability (PDP) at 1550 nm, with 5 V and 7 V excess bias, respectively. These measurements were performed at 300 K and 225 K. The dark count rate (DCR) per unit area at room temperature and at 5 V excess bias is 430 cps/mu m(2) and it decreases to 5 cps/mu m(2) at 225 K. Timing jitter is measured with passive quenching at 1550nm as 149 ps at full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM), (300 K, 5 V excess bias). The proposed technology is suitable for a number of applications, including optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR), quantum information, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR).
