Studying the feasibility of distributed quantum computing enabled via satellite communication

Lukas Pausch, Davide Orsucci, Philipp Kleinpaß +3 more

In future quantum networks, satellite-mediated quantum communication could be used to enable distributed quantum computing (DQC). In this talk, we present the current state of our ongoing analysis on potential use cases for satellite-enabled distributed quantum computing and on their feasibility based on hardware restrictions and algorithm requirements: On the one hand, we investigate entanglement distribution via satellites, considering different orbits and entanglement distribution schemes, and evaluating restrictions regarding, e.g., entanglement distribution rates or connection times. On the other hand, we analyse and assess possible DQC applications that might require long-range communication. Furthermore, we investigate the current state of the art of quantum-computing hardware and interconnects between matter qubits and flying qubits (photons), with a particular focus on DQC. These considerations will enable us to evaluate the gap to be bridged by future developments and to identify the necessary steps to be taken for a future implementation of satellite-enabled DQC.

Vortex clustering in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates

Thomas A. Easton, Marios Kokmotos, Giovanni Barontini

We numerically study the formation of vortex clusters in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates where vortices are initially imprinted in a line. We show that such a system exhibits a rich phenomenology depending on the distance at which the vortices are imprinted and their number. In particular we observe that it is possible to obtain systems of twin vortex clusters, twin vortex clusters with orbiting satellite vortices, and triplets of clusters. By using a clustering algorithm we are able to quantitatively describe the formation and dynamics of the clusters. We finally utilise an analytical model to determine the range of parameters for which the clustering occurs. Our work sets the stage for possible experimental implementations where the formation of vortex clusters and more exotic bound states of vortices could be observed.

Recording of a Single-Photon Signal from Low-Flying Satellites for Satellite Quantum Key Distribution

A. V. Khmelev, Alexey V. Duplinsky, Vladimir Mayboroda +4 more

Abstract A ground receiving station for satellite quantum key distribution capable of analyzing the quantum polarization states of photons is presented. In an experiment concerning tracking a low-Earth orbit satellite, the residual tracking error by the ground station does not exceed 10 μrad, which ensures stable reception of the optical signal in four channels of the polarization state decoder. The efficiency of optical-signal recording in the satellite tracking mode is estimated.
