Advances in hybrid quantum systems and their precise control are pivotal for developing advanced quantum technologies. Two-dimensional (2D) materials with optically accessible spin defects have emerged as a promising platform for building integrated quantum spin systems due to their exceptional flexibility and scalability. However, experimentally realizing such systems and demonstrating their superiority remains challenging. Here, we present a hybrid spin system operating under ambient conditions, integrating boron vacancy ( $${{rm{V}}}_{{rm{B}}}^{-}$$ V B ) spins in 2D hexagonal boron nitride flakes with a single nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in 3D single-crystal diamonds. This combined system achieves full controllability and exhibits enhanced performance for nanoscale magnetic sensing, including an improved dynamic range. Moreover, we investigate the rich many-body spin dynamics within the hybrid system, which enables us to estimate the concentration of $${{rm{V}}}_{{rm{B}}}^{-}$$ V B spins. This work provides a critical foundation for advancing the development of 2D-3D integrated quantum spin systems.
混合量子系统及其精确控制的进展是发展先进量子技术的关键。由于具有优异的灵活性和可扩展性,具有光学可访问自旋缺陷的二维(2D)材料已成为构建集成量子自旋系统的有前途的平台。然而,通过实验实现这样的系统并证明其优越性仍然具有挑战性。在这里,我们提出了一个在环境条件下运行的混合自旋系统,将二维六方氮化硼片中的硼空位($${{rm{V}}}_{{rm{B}}}^{-}$$ V B−)自旋与三维单晶金刚石中的单氮空位(NV)中心集成在一起。该组合系统实现了完全可控性,并表现出纳米级磁传感的增强性能,包括改进的动态范围。此外,我们研究了混合系统内的多体自旋动力学,这使我们能够估计$${{rm{V}}}_{{rm{B}}}^{-}$$ V B−自旋的浓度。这项工作为推进2D-3D集成量子自旋系统的发展提供了重要的基础。

We report on the fault-tolerant operation of logical qubits on a neutral atom quantum computer, with logical performance surpassing physical performance for multiple circuits including Bell state preparation (12x error reduction), random circuits (15x), and a prototype Anderson Impurity Model ground state solver for materials science applications (up to 6x, non-fault-tolerantly). The logical qubits are implemented via the [[4, 2, 2]] code (C 4 ). Our work constitutes the first complete realization of the benchmarking protocol proposed by Gottesman 2016 demonstrating results consistent with fault tolerance. In light of recent advances on applying concatenated C 4 /C 6 detection codes to achieve error correction with high code rates and thresholds, our work can be regarded as a building block towards a practical scheme for fault tolerant quantum computation. Our demonstration of a materials science application with logical qubits particularly demonstrates the immediate value of these techniques on current experiments.
我们报告了在中性原子量子计算机上逻辑量子位的容错操作,其逻辑性能超过多个电路的物理性能,包括贝尔状态制备(减少12倍误差),随机电路(15倍),以及用于材料科学应用的原型安德森杂质模型基态求解器(高达6倍,非容错)。逻辑量子位通过[[4,2,2]]代码(c4)实现。我们的工作构成了Gottesman 2016年提出的基准测试协议的第一个完整实现,展示了与容错一致的结果。鉴于最近在应用连接c4 / c6检测码以实现高码率和阈值的纠错方面的进展,我们的工作可以被视为迈向容错量子计算实用方案的基石。我们用逻辑量子比特演示材料科学应用,特别展示了这些技术在当前实验中的直接价值。

Solid-state qubits are sensitive to their microscopic environment, causing the qubit properties to fluctuate on a wide range of timescales. The sub-Hz end of the spectrum is usually dealt with by repeated background calibrations, which bring considerable overhead. It is thus important to characterize and understand the low-frequency variations of the relevant qubit characteristics. In this study, we investigate the stability of spin qubit frequencies in the Si/SiGe quantum dot platform. We find that the calibrated qubit frequencies of a six-qubit device vary by up to ±100 MHz while performing a variety of experiments over a span of 912 days. These variations are sensitive to the precise voltage settings of the gate electrodes, however when these are kept constant to within 15 µ V, the qubit frequencies vary by less than ±7 MHz over periods up to 36 days. During overnight scans, the qubit frequencies of ten qubits across two different devices show a standard deviation below 200 kHz within a 1-hour time window. The qubit frequency noise spectral density shows roughly a 1 /f trend above 10 −4 Hz and, strikingly, a steeper trend at even lower frequencies.
固态量子比特对其微观环境很敏感,导致量子比特的性质在很宽的时间尺度上波动。频谱的亚hz端通常通过重复的背景校准来处理,这带来了相当大的开销。因此,表征和理解相关量子比特特性的低频变化是很重要的。在本研究中,我们研究了Si/SiGe量子点平台中自旋量子比特频率的稳定性。我们发现,在912天的时间内进行各种实验时,6量子位器件的校准量子位频率变化高达±100 MHz。这些变化对栅极电极的精确电压设置很敏感,但是当这些电压设置保持恒定在15µV以内时,量子比特频率在长达36天的周期内变化小于±7 MHz。在夜间扫描中,两个不同设备上十个量子位的量子位频率在1小时的时间窗口内显示出低于200千赫的标准偏差。量子比特频率噪声谱密度在10−4 Hz以上大致呈1 /f趋势,在更低的频率下,趋势更陡峭。

Connecting multiple smaller qubit modules by generating high-fidelity entanglement is a promising path for scaling quantum computing hardware. The performance of such a modular quantum computer depends on the quality and rate of entanglement generation. However, identifying optimal architectures and entanglement generation protocols remains an open question. How can modular quantum architectures be designed to achieve fault tolerance while requiring only feasible entanglement rates and hardware? Focusing on solid-state quantum hardware, we investigate the threshold and logical failure rate of a fully distributed surface code. We consider both emission-based and scattering-based entanglement schemes between the modules to link the performance to the physical hardware and identify the regime for fault tolerance. We compare architectures with one or two data qubits per module. For some entanglement schemes, thresholds nearing the thresholds of non-distributed implementations (~ 0.4%) appear feasible with future parameters minimizing the performance gap between modular and monolithic quantum processors.

Recent advancements in quantum key distribution have led to the development of various modulator-free transmitters. Among their advantages, they offer enhanced security against Trojan-horse attacks. However, practical implementations emit residual pulses that, while not used in the quantum communication, still carry information about Alice’s state preparation process. While the intensity of these pulses is typically attenuated, the extinction ratio of practical intensity modulators is always finite, and therefore it remains crucial to account for the residual information leakage at the security-proof level. In this work, we prove the security of these transmitters in such setting and evaluate their performance. We find that the secret-key rate of the protocol is severely affected when the information leakage is not sufficiently small, which highlights the importance of taking into account this imperfection.
量子密钥分配的最新进展导致了各种无调制器发射机的发展。它们的优点之一是增强了针对特洛伊木马攻击的安全性。然而,实际实现会发射残余脉冲,这些脉冲虽然没有用于量子通信,但仍然携带有关Alice状态准备过程的信息。虽然这些脉冲的强度通常是衰减的,但实际强度调制器的消光比总是有限的,因此在安全级别考虑残余信息泄漏仍然是至关重要的。在这项工作中,我们证明了这些发射机在这种设置下的安全性,并评估了它们的性能。我们发现,当信息泄漏不够小时,协议的秘钥率会受到严重影响,这凸显了考虑这一缺陷的重要性。

We show how looped pipeline architectures—which use short-range shuttling of physical qubits to achieve bounded non-local connectivity—can efficiently implement the fault-tolerant non-Clifford gate between 2D surface codes described in (Sci. Adv. 6, eaay4929 (2020)). The shuttling schedule required is only marginally more complex than is required for implementing the standard 2D surface code in this architecture. We compare the resource cost with the cost of magic state distillation and find that, at present, this comparison is heavily in favour of distillation. The high cost of the non-Clifford gate is largely due to the relatively low performance of the just-in-time decoder used in the procedure, which necessitates very large code distances in order to achieve suitably low logical error rates. We argue that, as little attention has been given to the study and optimisation of these decoders, there are potentially significant improvements to be made in this area.
我们展示了环路管道架构(利用物理量子位的短程穿梭来实现有界非局部连接)如何有效地实现(Sci. 1)中描述的二维表面代码之间的容错非克利福德门。生物医学工程学报,2012,29 (2020);所需的穿梭时间表只比在此体系结构中实现标准2D表面代码所需的稍微复杂一些。我们将资源成本与魔态蒸馏的成本进行了比较,发现目前这种比较非常有利于蒸馏。非克利福德门的高成本主要是由于过程中使用的实时解码器的性能相对较低,这需要非常大的代码距离才能达到适当的低逻辑错误率。我们认为,由于很少关注这些解码器的研究和优化,在这一领域有潜在的重大改进。

We argue that, as little attention has been given to the study and optimisation of these decoders, there are potentially significant improvements to be made in this area.","PeriodicalId":19212,"journal":{"name":"npj Quantum Information","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145611514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
