STORAGE AND TRANSDUCTION OF QUANTUM INFORMATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012749 titled 'STORAGE AND TRANSDUCTION OF QUANTUM INFORMATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes methods and apparatus for storing and transducing quantum information using a luminescent center in silicon. This luminescent center can be controlled to undergo quantum interactions with a first qubit, such as a superconducting qubit. The luminescent center can be a t-center or an ensemble of t-centers. Quantum information can be stored in an unpaired electron or hole spin, as well as one or more nuclear spins of the t-center. The stored quantum information can be later returned to the first qubit or transferred to an optical photon state.

  • Luminescent center in silicon coupled to a first qubit for quantum interactions
  • Luminescent center can be a t-center or an ensemble of t-centers
  • Quantum information can be stored in unpaired electron or hole spin, as well as nuclear spins of the t-center
  • Stored quantum information can be returned to the first qubit or transferred to an optical photon state

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Quantum computing
  • Quantum communication
  • Quantum cryptography
  • Quantum sensing

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient storage and transduction of quantum information
  • Controllable quantum interactions between a luminescent center and a first qubit
  • Preservation of quantum coherence in silicon-based systems

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced capabilities for quantum computing and communication
  • Improved security in quantum cryptography
  • Higher sensitivity and precision in quantum sensing applications


Original Abstract Submitted

methods and apparatus for storing and transducing quantum information provide a luminescent center in silicon controllably coupled to undergo quantum interactions with a first qubit such as a superconducting qubit. the luminescent center may be a t center or an ensemble of t centers, for example. the same or different quantum information may be stored in an unpaired electron or hole spin, and/or one or more of three nuclear spins of the t center. the stored quantum information may be later returned to the first qubit or transferred to an optical photon state.
