PIQUE: a new frame work for quantum systems engineering
Kamal, Archana - University of Massachusetts Lowell
Presentation on Thursday, Sept. 19, 2019, noon
Location: MIT Room 6C-442
High-fidelity quantum state preparation, manipulation and measurement are the three cornerstones of any quantum information processing platform. In this talk I will describe a new paradigm called PIQUE (for Parametrically-Induced QUantum Engineering), which tackles all three challenges in a unified framework based on parametrically-modulated interactions between quantum systems.
In the first part of my talk, I will focus on how parametrically-induced interactions have stimulated new functionalities in the field of nonreciprocal amplification, and signal processing. In the second part of the talk, I will discuss how such interactions can be leveraged for quantum state engineering, specifically quantum ground state cooling, high-fidelity dissipative control and entanglement generation. Finally, I will discuss some new opportunities enabled by parametric systems to explore fundamental physics of open quantum systems.
