Optimizing Pulsed Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance Acquisition: A Digital Signal Processing Perspective

Anuvab Nandi, Samiran Chakraborti, Jain, Yashvardhan +6 more

Ensembles of nitrogen vacancy (NV) defect centers in diamond have attracted considerable interest for fundamental studies and applications in quantum sensing and quantum information processing. Pulsed optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) and related pulse-sequence protocols are essential for the coherent manipulation and characterization of the NV spins. Here, we introduce a novel framework for analyzing pulsed ODMR data acquisition and subsequent processing from the perspective of digital signal processing (DSP). As a central part of this approach, we model the data processing procedure as an effective digital bandpass filter that suppresses a broad range of noise spectral components, thereby reducing the noise in the processed data. This analysis identifies an intermediate frequency (IF) band whose spectral contribution to this noise is maximum. The proposed DSP-based analysis is experimentally validated using an oscilloscope based acquisition method, and is also applied to optimize key measurement parameters. In particular, the introduction of an analog low pass filter in the signal path is shown to remove aliasing of noise into the IF band, and thus improve signal quality. Our results also establish the oscilloscope as a viable data acquisition device for pulsed ODMR, with practical advantages including on-board waveform averaging, real-time signal visualization, and simplified system debugging. The proposed framework can be extended to other detection techniques and material platforms for ODMR.

Continuous-mode quantum key distribution with digital signal processing

Ziyang Chen, Xiangyu Wang, Song Yu +2 more

Abstract Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD) offers extraordinary superiority of sharing keys remotely by the use of standard telecom components, thereby promoting cost-effective and high-performance metropolitan applications. On the other hand, high-rate introduced spectrum broadening has pushed CVQKD from single-mode to continuous-mode region, resulting in the adoption of modern digital signal processing (DSP) technologies to recover quadrature information from continuous-mode quantum states. However, the security proof of DSP involving multi-point processing is a missing step. Here we propose a generalized method of analyzing continuous-mode states processing by linear DSP via temporal-modes theory. The construction of temporal modes plays a key role in reducing the security proof to single-mode scenarios. The proposed practicality-oriented security analysis method paves the way to build classical compatible digital CVQKD.

High-speed continuous-variable quantum key distribution with advanced digital signal processing

Matteo Schiavon, Yoann Piétri, Luis Trigo Vidarte +6 more

Continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) is a promising solution for providing high secure key rates in moderate loss channels. A great advantage with respect to discrete-variable (DV) systems is the use of a technology similar to the one used in classical coherent communication, in particular for the detection system, which can operate at room temperature and benefits from an easier integration process. In addition to this, the use of advanced digital signal processing (DSP) techniques developed for classical communication allows for bandwidth-efficient temporal shaping, which optimizes the performance of the CV-QKD system. These techniques applied to the detected signal are also fundamental for using a locally generated local oscillator, correcting frequency and phase differences using frequency-multiplexed pilots generated by the transmitter. In this presentation, we will describe how these DSP techniques can be applied to a CV-QKD system and show some recent experimental results obtained by our research group, including results for a receiver based on a Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC).
