• Abstract summary: We show that Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, in conjunction with a correlated measurement and nonlinear estimation strategy, achieve gains of up to 2.25 dB. The gain arises from a veto signal, which allows for the detection and mitigation of errors caused by spontaneous emission events.

• Abstract: The use of correlated states and measurements promises improvements in the accuracy of frequency metrology and the stability of atomic clocks. However, developing strategies robust against dominant noise processes remains challenging. We address the issue of decoherence due to spontaneous decay and show that Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, in conjunction with a correlated measurement and nonlinear estimation strategy, achieve gains of up to 2.25 dB, comparable to fundamental bounds for up to about 80 atoms in the presence of decoherence. This result is surprising since GHZ states do not provide any enhancement under dephasing due to white frequency noise compared to the standard quantum limit of uncorrelated states. The gain arises from a veto signal, which allows for the detection and mitigation of errors caused by spontaneous emission events. Through comprehensive Monte-Carlo simulations of atomic clocks, we demonstrate the robustness of the GHZ protocol.

  We study a minimal exactly solvable single-qubit model under Gaussian quantum dephasing noise. For digital periodic control, we prove that, under mild conditions on the low-frequency behavior of the nonclassical noise spectrum, the gate fidelity saturates at a value that is strictly smaller than the one attainable in the absence of control history. We find that only if decoupling can keep the qubit highly pure over a timescale larger than the correlation time of the noise, the bath approximately converges to its original statistics and a stable-in-time control performance is recovered.

  Temporal, spectral, and sample-to-sample fluctuations in coherence properties of qubits form an outstanding challenge for the development of upscaled fault-tolerant quantum computers. A ubiquitous source for these fluctuations in superconducting qubits is a set of atomic-scale defects with a two-level structure. We show that frequency modulation of a qubit or, alternatively, of the two-level defects, leads to averaging of the qubit relaxation rate over a wide interval of frequencies.

  Quantum key distribution (QKD) allows the establishment of common cryptographic keys among distant parties. Recently, a QKD protocol that circumvents the need for monitoring signal disturbance, has been proposed and demonstrated in initial experiments. We derive the security proofs of the round-robin differential phase-time-shifting protocol in the collective attack scenario. Our results show that the RRDPTS protocol can achieve higher secret key rate in comparison with the RRDPS, in the condition of high quantum bit error rate.

  We propose a hybrid quantum-classical atomic clock protocol where the interrogation of an ensemble of uncorrelated atoms in a spin-coherent state is used to feedback one (or more) spin-squeezed atomic ensembles toward their optimal phase sensitivity point. This protocol overcomes the stability of a single Ramsey clock and it reaches a Heisenberg-limited stability while avoiding non-destructive measurements.
