• Abstract: We study the synchronization of a superconducting qubit to an external optical field via a mechanical resonator in a hybrid optoelectromechanical system. The quantum trajectory method is employed to investigate synchronization. The bistability in one of the qubit polarization vectors, where the qubit rotates about the polarization vector, is observed for a single quantum trajectory run. The rotation in one of the stable states is synced with the external optical drive. When the number of trajectories is significantly increased, the qubit no longer displays bistability. However, synchronization with less quantum fluctuations is still observed. The scheme could be used to transfer the phase of the microwave qubit's rotation to a long-lived optical photon through synchronization, which may find applications in long-distance quantum communication. Also, this hybrid system can be used to study quantum synchronization.

  We experimentally generate entangled photonic modes by continuously exciting a quantum emitter, a superconducting qubit, with a coherent drive. We show that entanglement is generated between modes extracted from the two sidebands of the resonance fluorescence spectrum. Our approach can be utilized to distribute entanglement at a high rate in various physical platforms.

  We propose and demonstrate an efficient method for entangling emitters with optical transitions separated by many linewidths. In our approach, electro-optic modulators enable a single photon to herald a parity measurement on a pair of spin qubits. Working with distinguishable emitters allows for individual qubit addressing and readout, enabling parallel control and entanglement of both co-located and spatially separated emitters.

  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.
