Quadrature readout and generation of squeezed states of a harmonic oscillator using a qubit-based indirect measurement

Mehmet Cantürk, Adrian Lupaşcu

We present a protocol for measuring the quadrature of a harmonic oscillator (HO). The HO is coupled to a qubit, with an interaction modulated by the qubit control and effectively proportional to the HO quadrature $I$. Repeated measurement of the qubit leads to gradually increasing information on the quadrature $I$, leading to squeezing. We derive an analytical formula for the quadrature variance, $(ΔI)^2 = 1/(1+4ϕ^2 s)$, with $ϕ$ the product of interaction strength and interaction time and $s$ the number of repetitions of the measurement. We discuss the robustness of this scheme against decoherence. We find that this protocol could lead to significant squeezing in a realistic setup formed of a superconducting flux qubit used to measure an electrical or mechanical resonator.

Violation of Smooth Observable Macroscopic Realism in a Harmonic Oscillator

Amir Leshem, Omri Gat

We study the emergence of macrorealism in a harmonic oscillator subject to consecutive measurements of a squeezed action. We demonstrate a breakdown of dynamical realism in a wide parameter range that is maximized in a scaling limit of extreme squeezing, where it is based on measurements of smooth observables, implying that macroscopic realism is not valid in the harmonic oscillator. We propose an indirect experimental test of these predictions with entangled photons by demonstrating that local realism in a composite system implies dynamical realism in a subsystem.

Oscillation-Based Neutrino Information: Indirect Measurement of Internal Information Loss

serkan

This paper proposes a novel hypothesis that neutrinos carry internal information during oscillation. A new model, Oscillation-Based Neutrino Information, introduces an information coefficient λ to the standard neutrino oscillation formula. The study analyzes how short and long distance measurements can indirectly reveal information loss during oscillation. This approach offers a new perspective by combining quantum information concepts with neutrino physics.

The Harmonic Oscillator I

Springer eBooks•Aug 13, 2007•0 citations
We present a protocol for measuring the quadrature of a harmonic oscillator (HO). The HO is coupled to a qubit, with an interaction modulated by the qubit control and effectively proportional to the HO quadrature III. Repeated measurement of the qubit leads to gradually increasing information on the quadrature III, leading to squeezing. We derive an analytical formula for the quadrature variance, (ΔI)2=1/(1+4ϕ2s)(ΔI)^2 = 1/(1+4ϕ^2 s)(ΔI)2=1/(1+4ϕ2s), with ϕϕϕ the product of interaction strength and interaction time and sss the number of repetitions of the measurement. We discuss the robustness of this scheme against decoherence. We find that this protocol could lead to significant squeezing in a realistic setup formed of a superconducting flux qubit used to measure an electrical or mechanical resonator.
