Phonon Engineering Extends Lifetime of Quantum Defects

In a first-of-its-kind approach to extending the lifetimes of atomic-scale defects in superconducting quantum circuits, authors have described cutting-edge techniques in an article published in Science Advances. This invention can provide a quantum leap in computing and sensing techniques.

The Problem of Quantum Noise

The search for quantum computers remains fruitful, however such devices will not see the light of day due to one fundamental issue: noise. There exist interstitial defects known as two-level systems (TLS) in a number of quantum devices. These converged defect systems have their advantages, however they put stringent limits on the operation of superconducting qubits which are the main components in many quantum computers.

Optical Phonons: A Peeking Cue to Acoustic Pressure

Led by scientists from the Californian Institute of Technology, the research team had a very Remarkable strain the objective of this problem was – to eliminate all TLS completely. They instead addressed the issue of the environment surrounding them and how they could influence it.

Key Findings:

  • Acoustic Bandgap: Unfortunately, the designers imposed a special structure on the superconducting circuits that provided interstitial security – an acoustic bandgap where sound waves do not travel.
  • Extended Lifetimes: By putting TLS crystals emanating energy within this region of the absence of sound propagating, they succeeded in varying T1 values by two hundred times in general. There were some defects with lifetimes greater than 5 milliseconds achieved.
  • Quantum Sensing: The increased lifetimes provided the team with the opportunity to practice these processed TLS of engineered disorder patterns as quantum sensors of very high performance. It also helped to learn more about their functioning and measurements.

Significance of the Research for Quantum Technologies

Such research is exciting:

  • Improvement of Qubit Properties: An enhanced control and understanding of TLS could potentially help in the construction of more robust qubits with long lives.
  • Quantum Memories: The time extended examples of a TLS could also perform the function of quantum bits of memory.
  • Advanced Sensors: In the future this skill of fabrication and precision management of single atomic scale defects may result in ultra-sensitive quantum sensors.

The Next Steps

This research emphasizes the involvement of many different disciplines in quantum science. In order to develop new quantum technologies, scientists from materials science, acoustics and quantum physics join efforts to find new approaches to problem solving.

The more we gain better understanding and control of the quantum world, the closer we are to achieving full capabilities of quantum computing systems and sensors. The work presented in this paper is an important milestone in that direction, demonstrating that sometimes it is better to sculpt the environment surrounding our quantum systems rather than eliminate its noise if we want to make ideals quicker than normal.
