Coupling Rydberg atoms to superconducting qubits via nanomechanical resonator

Ming Gao, Yu-xi Liu, Xiang‐Bin Wang

We propose a hybrid system to realize long information storage and fast quantum operation via Rydberg atoms and superconducting qubits (SCQs). The internal states of a Rydberg atom are coupled to a nanomechanical resonator. The atom-resonator coupling is achieved via an electric field generated by the quantized motions of the resonator and temporarily exciting the atom to Rydberg states. The coupling can be made large enough to allow quantum manipulation and measurement of the resonator via the atom. The resonator can also be coupled to a SCQ, and therefore the tripartite system can provide a quantum interface between the SCQ and the atom via the nanomechanical resonator.

Strong coupling and active cooling in a finite-temperature hybrid atom-cavity system

L. F. Keary, Jonathan D. Pritchard

For a standard two-level atom coupled to the quantized field of a resonant cavity, finite-temperature effects lead to thermal occupation of the cavity modes that obfuscates measurement of the quantum nature of the atom-light interaction. In this paper we demonstrate that using a hybrid system of a superconducting cavity coupled to a multilevel Rydberg atom, it is possible to observe the quantum nature of strong coupling even at finite temperatures and to exploit this coupling to permit cooling of the thermal microwave mode towards the ground state, enabling observation of coherent vacuum Rabi oscillations even at 4 K for realistic experimental parameters. Cooling for multiple atoms is also explored, showing maximal cooling for small samples, making this a viable approach to cavity cooling with potential applications in long-range coupling of superconducting qubits via thermal waveguides.

Superconducting resonator and Rydberg atom hybrid system in the strong coupling regime

Deshui Yu, Alessandro Landra, María Martínez Valado +4 more

We propose a promising hybrid quantum system, where a highly excited atom strongly interacts with a superconducting $LC$ oscillator via the electric field of capacitor. An external electrostatic field is applied to tune the energy spectrum of the atom. The atomic qubit is implemented by two eigenstates near an avoided-level crossing in the dc Stark map of a Rydberg atom. Varying the electrostatic field brings the atomic-qubit transition on or off resonance with respect to the microwave resonator, leading to a strong atom-resonator coupling with an extremely large cooperativity. Like the nonlinearity induced by Josephson junctions in superconducting circuits, the large atom-resonator interface disturbs the harmonic potential of the resonator, resulting in an artificial two-level particle. Different universal two-qubit logic gates can also be performed on our hybrid system within the space where an atomic qubit couples to a single photon with an interaction strength much larger than any relaxation rates, opening the door to the cavity-mediated state transmission.
