Realistic fault-tolerant quantum computing at reasonable overhead requires two-qubit gates with the highest possible fidelity. Typically, an infidelity of is recommended in the literature. Focusing on the phase-sensitive architecture used in laboratories and by commercial companies to implement quantum computers, we show that even under noise-free, ideal conditions, neglecting the carrier term and linearizing the Lamb–Dicke term in the Hamiltonian used for control-pulse construction for generating Mølmer–Sørensen XX gates based on the Raman scheme are not justified if the goal is an infidelity target of . We obtain these results with a gate simulator code that, in addition to the computational space, explicitly takes the most relevant part of the phonon space into account. With the help of a Magnus expansion carried to the third order, keeping terms up to the fourth order in the Lamb–Dicke parameters, we identify the leading sources of coherent errors, which we show can be eliminated by adding a single linear equation to the phase-space closure conditions and subsequently adjusting the amplitude of the control pulse (calibration). This way, we obtain XX gates with infidelities .
要想以合理的开销实现容错量子计算,就需要尽可能高保真的双量子比特门。通常,文献中推荐的保真度为。我们重点研究了实验室和商业公司用于实现量子计算机的相敏架构,结果表明,即使在无噪声的理想条件下,如果目标是保真度达到......,那么忽略载流子项和线性化基于拉曼方案生成默尔默-索伦森 XX 门的控制脉冲构建所用哈密顿中的 Lamb-Dicke 项都是不合理的。 我们利用门模拟器代码获得了这些结果,该代码除了计算空间外,还明确考虑了声子空间中最相关的部分。在马格努斯三阶扩展的帮助下,我们确定了相干误差的主要来源,并在相空间闭合条件中添加了一个线性方程,随后调整了控制脉冲的振幅(校准),从而消除了相干误差。这样,我们就可以得到具有不可靠度的 XX 门。

Measuring natural circular dichroism in the x-ray regime to extract stereochemical information from chiral molecules in solution remains a challenge. This is primarily due to technical limitations of the existing synchrotron sources, which hinder access to measurements of local chirality by exploiting core hole electronic transitions. In response to this challenge, we propose an alternative approach: utilizing XFEL-based cross-polarization x-ray transient grating (XTG). This method provides an indirect means to measure x-ray circular dichroism (XCD). Notably, our findings reveal that the signal emerges only once the excited cores have undergone dephasing through relaxation. XTG is now routinely measured in the XUV regime and has recently been made available for hard x-rays. Free electron lasers now offer polarization controls, and XTG can be extended to various polarization states for the two pump beams, making XCD measured by XTG feasible with the current state-of-the-art technology.
在 X 射线系统中测量自然圆二色性以提取溶液中手性分子的立体化学信息仍然是一项挑战。这主要是由于现有同步辐射源的技术限制,阻碍了通过利用核心空穴电子跃迁测量局部手性。为了应对这一挑战,我们提出了另一种方法:利用基于 XFEL 的交叉偏振 X 射线瞬态光栅 (XTG)。这种方法提供了一种间接测量 X 射线圆二色性(XCD)的方法。值得注意的是,我们的研究结果表明,只有在受激核心经过弛豫去相之后,信号才会出现。XTG 现已在 XUV 系统中进行常规测量,最近还可用于硬 X 射线。自由电子激光器现在提供偏振控制,XTG 可以扩展到两个泵浦光束的各种偏振态,这使得用 XTG 测量 XCD 在当前最先进的技术条件下变得可行。

We examine the spectrum and quantum states of small lattices with cylindrical and toroidal topology subject to a scalar gauge potential that introduces a position dependent phase in the inter-site coupling. Equivalency of gauges assumed in infinite lattices is generally lost due to the periodic boundary conditions, and conditions that restore it are identified. We trace the impact of various system parameters including gauge choice, boundary conditions and inter-site coupling strengths, and an additional axial field. We find gauge dependent appearance of avoided crossings and persistent degeneracies, and we show their impact on the associated eigenstates. Smaller lattices develop prominent gaps in spectral lines associated with edge states, which are suppressed in the thermodynamic limit. Toroidal lattices have counterparts of most of the features observed in cylindrical lattices, but notably they display a transition from localization to delocalization determined by the relation between the field parameter and the number of lattice sites.

We study the process of laser-assisted radiative recombination of an electron with a proton in a cold hydrogen plasma employing the semiclassical Kramers’ approach which involves calculation of classical trajectories in combined laser and Coulomb fields and the use of the correspondence principle. Due to the Coulomb focusing effect, recombination is the most effective when the initial electron momentum is parallel to the laser polarization. Orders of magnitude enhancement of the cross section, as compared to the laser-free case, is observed in this case. With increasing angle between the electron momentum and polarization, the recombination cross section drops. However, even after averaging over Maxwellian velocity distribution we obtain a substantial enhancement of the recombination rate constant, as compared to the zero-field case. For the field intensities in the range 30–350 MW cm−2, the enhancement occurs in the region of the radiation wavelength from 5 to 20 µm and for the plasma temperature from 20 to 300 K.

We describe a novel technique to determine absolute nuclear radii of high-Z nuclides. Utilizing accurate theoretical atomic structure calculations together with precise measurements of extreme ultraviolet transitions in highly charged ions this method allows for precise determinations of absolute nuclear charge radii based upon the well-known nuclear radii of their neighboring elements. This method can work for elements without stable isotopes, and its accuracy may be competitive with current methods (electron scattering and muonic x-ray spectroscopy).

In this perspective article we propose and discuss a possible technique of in-depth material processing based on undersurface focusing of intense x-ray pulses. Currently, x-ray free-electron lasers can produce such intense x-ray pulses with femtosecond pulse durations, reaching intensities sufficiently high to cause ultrafast melting of a material after a single laser shot. Here, on the example of silicon crystal we will demonstrate that with a proper choice of pulse parameters and focusing parameters, the already existing nanofocusing setup has a capability to focus hard x rays down to several hundreds micrometers below the material surface. This can trigger the required structural modification in the focal point, without damaging the material above. Potential applications of the new technique are discussed.

As the simplest nitroaromatic compound, nitrobenzene is an interesting model system to explore the rich photochemistry of nitroaromatic compounds. Previous investigations of nitrobenzene’s photochemical dynamics have probed structural and electronic properties. These investigations paint, at times, a convoluted and sometimes contradictory description of the photochemical landscape. We investigate the ultrafast dynamics of nitrobenzene triggered by photoexcitation at 267 nm for the first time using a structural probe with femtosecond time resolution. Our probe complements previous measurements of nitrobenzene’s electronic structure evolution and aids in determining the photochemical dynamics with less ambiguity. We employ megaelectronvolt ultrafast electron diffraction to follow nitrobenzene’s structural evolution within the first 5 ps after photoexcitation. We observe ground state recovery within
