- Quantum Technology

Quantum mechanics is an advanced and fundamental physical theory that describes the interactions of energy and matter. The development of device fabrication and experimental control has witnessed how quantum mechanics will be used to establish a new technology. This is referred to as emerging quantum technology, which may be defined as the engineering of physical devices and systems that work on quantum principles [1]. Compared to conventional technologies governed by classical mechanics, there are two main imperatives driving the development of quantum technology [2]. The first is that the design of physical devices should be based on quantum principles when the devices are at length scales of nanometers and action scales and approaching Planck’s constant. The second is that quantum principles appearing to offer the promise of excellent performance can hardly be obtained within a classical physical framework.

Design of a Super-Pixel-Based Quantum Secure Authentication Demonstrator

Chris Toebes, Tristan Bernhard Horst Tentrup, Pepijn W. H. Pinkse

Quantum Secure Authentication (QSA) is a method recently developed to authenticate a multiple-scattering key [1]. Previous implementations only showed proof-of-principle setups. We present a design of a compact and robust demonstration device for Quantum Secure Authentication. The challenge and response formation is performed by digital micromirror devices in a super pixel configuration [2]. The setup is designed to be able to operate in the classical and quantum regime, in order to be used for key alignment as well as authentication measurements. Here we will discuss the design criteria and decisions and first experimental results. References [1] S. A. Goorden, M. Horstmann, A. P. Mosk, B. Škorić, and P. W. H.

Quantum Annealing Optimization Method for the Design of Barrier Materials in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

Kenji Nawa, Tsuyoshi Suzuki, Keisuke Masuda +2 more

Materials informatics has boosted materials design, but the search for optimal atomic configurations in spintronic devices is challenging, due to many degrees of freedom and the need to design at the atomic level. Quantum annealing offers a breakthrough for such challenges in huge search spaces. The authors propose a combination of quantum annealing, machine learning, and first-principles calculations that is computationally cheaper than ordinary machine learning in designing atomically disordered spinel oxides (promising materials for magnetoresistive devices). Furthermore, the origins of physical properties of interest can be interpreted from the obtained Ising model Hamiltonian.
