• Abstract: Continuous-variable (CV) systems are attracting increasing attention in the realization of universal quantum computation. Several recent experiments have shown the feasibility of using CV systems to, e.g., encode a qubit into a trapped-ion mechanical oscillator and perform logic gates [Nature 566, 513-517 (2019)]. The essential next step is to protect the encoded qubit from quantum decoherence, e.g., the motional decoherence due to the interaction between a mechanical oscillator and its environment. Here we propose a scheme to suppress quantum decoherence of a single-mode harmonic oscillator used to encode qubits by introducing a nonperturbative leakage elimination operator (LEO) specifically designed for this purpose. Remarkably, our nonperturbative LEO can be used to analytically derive exact equations of motion without approximations. It also allows us to prove that the effectiveness of these LEOs only depends on the integral of the pulse sequence in the time domain, while details of the pulse shape does not make a significant difference when the time period is chosen appropriately. This control method can be applied to a system at an arbitrary temperature and arbitrary system-bath coupling strength which makes it extremely useful for general open quantum systems.

  We study how decoherence washes out the fine-grained subPlanck structure associated with phase-space quantum interference in a quantum system. Open quantum dynamics can be more efficiently simulated using a coarse-grained finite-difference numerical integration. We show that this regression does not have the form of a convex noise model, such as for a depolarizing noise channel.

A recently introduced measurement protocol uses the parametric (two-photon driven) Kerr resonator's driven-dissipative phase transition to reach single-qubit detection fidelity of 99.9%. We use machine learning-based classification algorithms to extract information from this critical dynamics.

  We propose a scalable scheme for universal quantum computation where cores play the role of quantum-computational transistors, quansistors. We include quantum errors as a main source of decoherence, and show that symmetry makes logical operations particularly resilient to untimely anisotropic qubit rotations. Many of our results can be generalized to higher-level omega-rotation-invariant systems, or adapted to clusters with other symmetries.
