• Abstract: Doubly-parametric quantum transducers, such as electro-opto-mechanical devices, are quickly approaching quantum operation as decoherence mechanisms such as thermal noise, loss, and limited cooperativities are improved. These devices show potential as the critical link between quantum information contained at frequencies as disparate as those in the optical and microwave domains, thus enabling applications such as long distance networking of superconducting quantum computers. However, the requirements on the operating parameters of the transducers necessary to achieve quantum operation have yet to be characterized. In this work we find simple, explicit expressions for the necessary and sufficient conditions under which doubly-parametric transducers in the resolved-sideband, steady-state limit are capable of entangling optical and microwave modes. Our analysis treats the transducer as a two-mode bosonic Gaussian channel capable of both beamsplitter-type and two-mode squeezing-type interactions between optical and microwave modes. For the beamsplitter-type interaction, we find parameter thresholds which distinguish regions of the channel's separability, capacity for bound entanglement, and capacity for distillable entanglement. By contrast, the two-mode squeezing-type interaction always produces distillable entanglement with no restrictions on temperature, cooperativities, or losses. Finally, we find the entanglement breaking conditions on the reduced one-mode upconversion and downconversion channels obtained by initializing the unused input with vacuum while ignoring the unused output. These differences between the entanglement thresholds of the beamsplitter-type and two-mode squeezing-type interactions are then important considerations in the construction of larger quantum networks that integrate multiple transducers.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.

A quantum state transfer between the two nodes is conceived by engineering their coupling to an intermediate fiber optical channel. Results show that while the adiabatic passage protocol is very sensitive to the decoherence, the shortcut to adiabaticity provides a robust and fast quantum state transfer.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
