Abstract

We present the experimental demonstration of quantum Hamiltonian learning. Using an integrated silicon-photonics quantum simulator with the classical machine learning technique, we successfully learn the Hamiltonian dynamics of a diamond nitrogen-vacancy center’s electron ground-state spin.

Experimental quantum hamiltonian learning using a silicon photonic chip and a nitrogen-vacancy electron spin in diamond

Stefano Paesani, Jianwei Wang, Raffaele Santagati +8 more

Summary form only given. The efficient characterization and validation of the underlying model of a quantum physical system is a central challenge in the development of quantum devices and for our understanding of foundational quantum physics. However, the impossibility to efficiently predict the behaviour of complex quantum models on classical machines makes this challenge to be intractable to classical approaches. Quantum Hamiltonian Learning (QHL) [1, 2] combines the capabilities of quantum information processing and classical machine learning to allow the efficient characterisation of the model of quantum systems. In QHL the behaviour of a quantum Hamiltonian model is efficiently predicted by a quantum simulator, and the predictions are contrasted with the data obtained from the quantum system to infer the system Hamiltonian via Bayesian methods.

Optical electron spin relaxometry in diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers for applications in quantum and nanoscale photonics

Simeon Bogdanov, Abhishek B. Solanki, Zachariah O. Martin +6 more

Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond have been long used for spin-based optical sensing and considered viable candidates for implementing spin-based quantum information protocols. Their unique advantages include their nanoscale size and the optical readout of the electron spin state. These features make them particularly fit for the use in integrated nanophotonic and quantum optical devices. We will discuss how the optical Purcell effect in plasmonic systems affects the NV spin readout signal and present the demonstration of this readout through optical plasmons in an integrated nanophotonic interface. We will show that spin relaxometry is a powerful tool that allows to probe the magnonic density of states and its electrical tuning with sub-um spatial resolution. Furthermore, we will discuss how spin signal readout sensitivity can be enhanced with the use of plasmonic nanostructures and Bayesian measurement methods.

Experimental Hamiltonian Learning of an 11-Qubit Solid-State Quantum Spin Register*

Pan‐Yu Hou, L. He, F. Wang +7 more

Learning the Hamiltonian of a quantum system is indispensable for prediction of the system dynamics and realization of high fidelity quantum gates. However, it is a significant challenge to efficiently characterize the Hamiltonian which has a Hilbert space dimension exponentially growing with the system size. Here, we develop and implement an adaptive method to learn the effective Hamiltonian of an 11-qubit quantum system consisting of one electron spin and ten nuclear spins associated with a single nitrogen-vacancy center in a diamond. We validate the estimated Hamiltonian by designing universal quantum gates based on the learnt Hamiltonian and implementing these gates in the experiment. Our experimental result demonstrates a well-characterized 11-qubit quantum spin register with the ability to test quantum algorithms, and shows our Hamiltonian learning method as a useful tool for characterizing the Hamiltonian of the nodes in a quantum network with solid-state spin qubits.

We report on the fabrication of single-crystal diamond photonic crystal nanocavities coupled the diamond nitrogen vacancy center, an emitter system with optically accessible electron spins and the ability to transfer electron states to nuclear spins. We discuss techniques to realize cavity-coupled NV centers with coherence times exceeding 100µs.
