Welcome to Canberra, Australia
Australia is a strong and prosperous nation occupying an entire continent in the Southern Hemisphere, bridging the Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans. Canberra is the Nation’s capital and Australia’s largest inland city with a growing population of over 400,000, located within the Australian Capital Territory.
Originally the home of the Ngunnawal people and the surrounding Ngarigo, Wandandian, Walgulu, Gandangara and Wiradjuri peoples, Canberra was established as a city in 1913 after an international competition to design the
Nation’s capital won by Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin from Chicago in the USA.
Canberra is a dynamic city, often known affectionately as the “Bush Capital”. It combines the nation’s grand institutions and a vibrant restaurant and café culture in the idyllic setting of open spaces and countryside bringing together lakes, rolling plains, forest and mountains. It is populated by all manner of native flora and fauna most especially our kangaroos.
“Criminally overlooked Canberra packs a big punch for such a small city. National treasures are found round almost every corner and exciting new boutique precincts have emerged, bulging with gastronomic highlights and cultural must-dos.” Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2018

Atomic qubits in silicon
ABSTRACT
Extremely long electron and nuclear spin coherence times have been demonstrated in isotopically pure Si-28 [1,2] making silicon a promising semiconductor material for spin-based quantum information. The two-level spin state of single electrons bound to shallow phosphorus donors in silicon in particular provide well defined, reproducible qubits [3]. An important challenge in these systems is the realisation of an architecture, where we can position donors within a crystalline environment with approx. 20-50nm separation, individually address each donor, manipulate the electron spins using ESR techniques and read-out their spin states.
We have developed a unique fabrication strategy for a scalable quantum computer in silicon using scanning tunneling microscope lithography to precisely position individual P donors in Si [4] aligned with nanoscale precision to local control gates [5] necessary to initialize, manipulate, and read-out the spin states [6-8]. We have published our approach to scale-up using 3D architectures for implementation of the surface code [9].
During this talk I will focus on demonstrating fast, high fidelity single-shot spin read-out [10], ESR control of precisely-positioned P donors in Si [11] and our results to demonstrating a two-qubit gate in donor qubits in silicon [12,13]. With important advances in control at the atomic-scale, I will attempt to highlight the benefits of single atom qubits in silicon.

Using trapped atoms for inertial navigation: prospects and challenges
ABSTRACT
Cold atoms are an obvious and attractive platform for quantum sensing applications. Indeed, one of the more mature areas of quantum sensing is atom interferometry, which is particularly useful for measuring inertial quantities like gravity, acceleration, and rotation. Existing laboratory atom interferometers hold many performance records in these areas. However, transitioning these technologies to real-world products has proven challenging. One barrier is the reliance on freely falling atoms, where long measurement times lead to large drop distances and thus large volume requirements. One way to avoid this problem is using trapped atoms. I will describe our recent application of a trapped atom gyroscope, where we demonstrate Earth-rate sensitivity using atoms confined within a volume of 10-2 mm3. With further development, it should be possible to obtain substantially greater sensitivity, along with accommodation of vibration and orientation noise that a practical navigation system would require. Alternatively, it is possible for a compact system to use freely falling atoms in a microgravity environment, and improvements to space-based inertial navigation systems are highly desirable. I will discuss initial steps in this direction that have been taken in the Cold Atom Laboratory on the International Space Station. This talk is based on joint work with E Moan, Z. Luo, and S. Berl.
BIO
Cass Sackett is currently an Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Virginia, USA. His research is focused on developing practical applications for Bose-Einstein condensation. In particular, Professor Sackett is developing condensate interferometry, in which the atom wave is coherently separated into pieces which are later recombined. The result of the recombination depends sensitively on the surrounding environment, meaning that it can be used as a sensor for measuring inertial effects like gravity or rotation, and electromagnetic effects like fields or atomic interactions. Current projects include high-precision measurements of gravity, rotation, and atomic polarizability. Professor Sackett is also an investigator for NASA’s Cold Atom Laboratory experiment, where he is studying atom cooling and interferometry in the microgravity environment of the International Space Station.

Single molecule spectroscopy and imaging with a quantum sensor
ABSTRACT
Magnetic resonance (MR) is one of the most important techniques for characterizing compositions, structure and dynamics of molecules. However, current methods need billions of uniform units on centimeter-scale to accumulate large enough signal-to-noise ratio. High sensitivity MR techniques are urgently needed for new applications on single molecule. A quantum sensor to accomplish single molecule detection is the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect center in diamond. By combining the quantum controls and long coherence time of NV, we have experimentally realized single molecule scale nuclear MR and electron spin resonance. We and co-workers have successfully achieved the following results.
(I) Single molecule spectroscopy. We obtained the first single-protein spin resonance spectroscopy under ambient conditions [4]. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy of single molecules under physiological conditions [2]. The work represents a step forward towards magnetic resonance investigation of biomolecules in their native environments at the single-molecule level. (II) Zero-field electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy on nanoscale [3]. We successfully measured the zero-field ESR spectrum of a few electron spins, by precisely tune the energy levels of NV centers to be resonant with the target spins, and directly resolved the hyperfine coupling constant. This work breaks the sensitivity limitation and open the door of practical applications of the zero-field ESR. (III) Single molecule Imaging. Combing NV sensor together with atomic-force microscopy, we realized nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging of ferritins in a single cell [1].
These results, together with the relation works in the field, open a door to nanoscale/single molecule MR and will be potentially used as a new tool on a broad range of scientific areas from life science to physics and chemistry.

Quantum control and coherent feedback: new horizons in optics
ABSTRACT
Methods of quantum feedback control continue to find diverse applications in quantum information science and technology. In this talk I will review our group’s recent theoretical work on coherent and measurement-based feedback control in the ultrafast/broadband domain of optics, and describe proof-of-principle experiments in progress. As I will explain, much of this research is motivated by connections to the Coherent Ising Machine (CIM) architecture for fast solution of hard nonlinear optimization problems. I will discuss prospects for realizing CIM-type photonic circuits (with all of their attendant feedback motifs) in a CMOS-compatible silicon platform, and close by presenting recent results on an elementary coherent feedback experiment involving 2D excitons in monolayer MoSe2. The latter results highlight an intriguing difference between 0D (atomic) and 2D dipoles for coherent interaction with optical signals.

Measurement-based feedback scheme and continuous-time quantum error correction
ABSTRACT
In a 2002 PRA-paper, Ahn, Doherty and Landahl addressed the problem of quantum error correction (QEC) in continuous-time. This entails rendering the code-manifold of quantum states globally attractive when the measurement and actuation processes are not infinitely fast. This relies on feedback strategies exploiting code-space populations as control Lyapunov functions. In this talk, we present in details, for the three-qubit bit-flip code, an original feedback design merging new control Lyapunov functions and exogenous Brownian motions. The resulting closed-loop dynamics are shown to stabilize the code-manifold exponentially with explicit estimates of the convergence rates. Moreover, these feedback laws depend only on 3 populations that can be recovered in real-time via an exact and low-dimensional quantum filter of order 3. Closed-loop simulations illustrate the robustness and quantify the amount of protection obtained by such continuous-time QEC strategies. Extension to general QEC codes of such feedbacks and related reduced-order quantum filters can be done similarly. This talk is based on ongoing works with Gerardo Cardona and Alain Sarlette.

Impurities in quantum matter
ABSTRACT
Controllable impurities act as sensitive probes of how few-body correlations emerge in strongly correlated quantum matter. I will discuss recent progress in the understanding of quantum impurity physics, both in the context of ultracold atomic gases and in exciton-polariton systems. Ultimately, the understanding of correlations in many-particle systems can allow us to harness their properties for a new generation of quantum devices.

Toward “quantum supremacy” with single photons
ABSTRACT
Quantum computers can in principle solve certain problems faster than classical computers. Despite substantial progress in the past decades, building quantum machines that can actually outperform classical computers for some specific tasks—a milestone termed as “quantum supremacy”—remained challenging. Boson sampling has been considered as a strong candidate to demonstrate the “quantum supremacy”.
The experimental challenge for realizing a large-scale boson sampling mainly lies in the lack of a perfect single-photon sources. In this talk, I will report two routes towards building boson sampling machines with many photons, which is also a first, necessary toward photonic quantum computing. In the first path, we developed SPDC two-photon source with simultaneously a collection efficiency of 97% and an indistinguishability of 96% between independent photons. With this, we demonstrate genuine entanglement of 12 photons.
In the second path, using a quantum dot-micropillar, we produced single photons with high purity (>99%), near-unity indistinguishability for >1000 photons, and high extraction efficiency—all combined in a single device compatibly and simultaneously. We build 3-, 4-, and 5-bosonsampling machines which runs >24,000 times faster than all the previous experiments, and for the first time reaches a complexity about 100 times faster than the first electronic computer (ENIAC) and transistorized computer (TRADIC). We hope to achieve 20-photon boson sampling in the near term. Relevant papers can be found at http://staff.ustc.edu.cn/~cylu.

Dynamical decoupling and exponential decay
ABSTRACT
Dynamical decoupling is a common control technique to remove unwanted environmental interactions. The basic idea is to rotate the system actively such that environmental interactions average out. It is folk-knowledge that decoupling works only with environments which induce non-exponential decay, because such environments provide a time-scale on which they have a memory. Here we provide counterexamples to this conjecture.

Brillouin integrated photonics: New platform for high performance microwave signal processing and sensing
ABSTRACT
Brillouin scattering is a coherent interaction between photons and acoustic phonons that takes place over a broad range of wavelengths and in a number of technologically important platforms. It is of major significance because it is a fundamental limit in lasers and optical communication systems, but it can also be the basis of a powerful tool for signal processing, sensing and fundamental studied. I will review our recent developments in harnessing Brillouin scattering in photonic circuits for applications in signal processing, sensing and microwave photonics and will conclude with a perspective for future platforms and opportunities for further fundamental and applied research.

A roadmap to an australian quantum industry
ABSTRACT
There is a lot of research in Australia that is creating new concepts and potential products that use quantum phenomena to provide exciting applications and functionalities the surpass anything that is currently available [1]. From quantum computers, sensors and communications, the realisation of such deep and new technologies is also an opportunity for Australia. There are multinational companies such as Microsoft working on the complex quantum computer but there are also emerging start-ups such as Q-Control and Silicon Quantum Computer Co. There is also a recognition by the Australian Defence Forces that quantum technologies also have great potential. In February 2019, fifty people from across Australian met to discuss and consider what a quantum industry would mean for Australia and how we as researchers, could progress the ambition to see our research translate to creating such a new industry. It was decided that an Australian Quantum Industry Roadmap was needed. This talk will outline the plan and process to create this roadmap and provide an update and report on the workshop.

Quantum optomechanical sensing: From quantum magnetometry to precision on-chip ultrasound
ABSTRACT
It has been known for over a century that, in quantum physics, even the act of looking can have dramatic consequences. For instance, it kills the cat in Schrödinger’s famous thought experiment. However, it has proved extremely difficult to observe such effects in practice, except for the smallest atom-scale objects, let alone to use them as a tool to enhance technologies.
Over the past decade, however, advances in nanotechnology have allowed us to engineer devices which exhibit this distinctive quantum behavior. These “quantum optomechanical devices”consist of a nanoscale mechanical object –for example, a nanoparticle, molecule or cantilever –coupledto light via radiation pressure, often concentrated in a tiny optical cavity. In essence, they are miniature versions of the kilometer-scale interferometers that have enabled the extraordinary detection of gravitational waves from distant black hole collisions. Quite remarkably, they can allow measurements of mechanical motion at the sub-attometre level –more than a thousand times below the width of an atomic nucleus. At the fundamental level, this allows us to ask new questions of quantum physics for macroscopic systems consisting of trillions of atoms. For applications, it provides a pathway to future quantum technologies and precision optical sensors that far outperform the current state-of-the-art.
In this talk, I will provide an overview of quantum optomechanical sensing. I will focus on recent experiments in our laboratory which apply techniques from the field to enhance the performance of a magnetic field sensor using quantum squeezed light; to demonstrate ultrasound sensors with sensitivity that extends the state-of-the-art by orders-of-magnitude.

Atom-loaded hollow core fibre as a platform for quantum technologies
ABSTRACT
Ultra-strong atom-light interaction is a critical resource for many applications in quantum information processing, sensing and measurement. To maximize the strength of the interaction, one must maximize the atom-light coherent interaction time, while simultaneously ensuring that there is a good match between the optical mode size and the atomic cross-section. For ensemble experiments, one wants to do this with the largest possible number of atoms at the same time.
One exciting platform for meeting these requirements is state-of-the-art hollow-core photonic-crystal fibre (HC-PCF). These fibres can be made extremely low-loss over large bands of the optical spectrum (500 nm - 1600 nm), with long interaction lengths (tens of centimetres) and tight transverse confinement (tens of micrometres), making them perfect platforms for quantum optics. We have demonstrated the ability to fill the central hole with both hot atomic vapours and cold atomic ensembles. In both case we can produce the large optical depths that are useful for quantum optics experiments. Here we will report on the development of quantum memories using both the cold and warm atoms: each of these approaches lends itself to a particular implementation.

Improved sensing of DC fields with rapidly rotating diamond quantum sensors
ABSTRACT
Quantum magnetometers based on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are more sensitive to oscillating (ac) magnetic fields than static (dc) fields because crystal impurities induce an ensemble dephasing time T2* much shorter than the intrinsic spin coherence time T_2, which determines the sensitivity to ac fields. In this work, we demonstrate measurement of dc magnetic fields using a physically rotating ensemble of NV centers at a precision ultimately limited by T_2.The rotation of the diamond modulates the angle between the NV axis and the target magnetic field, upconverting the static magnetic field to an oscillating field in the physically rotating frame. Using spin-echo interferometry of the rotating NV centers, we are able to perform measurements for over 100 times longer compared to a conventional Ramsey experiment. With modifications, our scheme could realize dc sensitivities equivalent to demonstrated NV center ac magnetic field sensitivities of order 0.1nT rtHz. We have also explored a means of rotation sensing based on an effective phase that arises from the NV-microwave field coupling, which has several advantages over previously proposed NV-gyroscopes.

Quantum stochastic processes: A complete theory for non-Markovian quantum phenomena
ABSTRACT
In science, we often want to characterise dynamical processes to identify the underlying physics and predict the future states of the system. If the state of the system at any time depends only on the state of the system at the previous time-step and some predetermined rule then the dynamics are characterised with relative ease. For instance, the dynamics of quantum mechanical systems in isolation is described in this way. However, when a quantum system repeatedly interacts with an environment, the environment often ‘remembers’ information about the system’s past. This leads to non-Markovian processes, which depend nontrivially on the state of the system at all times during its evolution. Such dynamics are not, in general, easily characterised using conventional techniques. Indeed, since the early days of quantum mechanics it has been a challenge to describe non-Markovian processes. Here we will show, using operational tools from quantum information theory, how to fully characterise any non-Markovian process. Using this we give an unambiguous criterion for quantum Markov processes. Next, we construct a mapping from a multi-time process to a many-body state using linear (in the number of time steps) amount of bipartite entanglement. The many-body state can be measured to any desired precision, thus the process can be characterised to any desired precision. Finally, we will discuss some preliminary results exposing the non-Markovianity of the IBM five qubit computer.

Quantum Nonlinear Optics without Photons: How to excite two or more atoms simultaneously with a single photon, and other unusual properties of ultra-strongly-coupled QED systems
ABSTRACT
I.How to excite two or more atoms simultaneously with a single photon
We consider two separate atoms interacting with a single-mode optical or microwave resonator. When the frequency of the resonator field is twice the atomic transition frequency, we show that there exists a resonant coupling between one photon and two atoms, via intermediate virtual states connected by counter-rotating processes. If the resonator is prepared in its one-photon state, the photon can be jointly absorbed by the two atoms in their ground state which will both reach their excited state with a probability close to one. Like ordinary quantum Rabi oscillations, this process is coherent and reversible, so that two atoms in their excited state will undergo a downward transition jointly emitting a single cavity photon. This joint absorption and emission process can also occur with three atoms. The parameters used to investigate this process correspond to experimentally demonstrated values in circuit quantum electrodynamics systems.
II. Quantum nonlinear optics without photons
Spontaneous parametric down-conversion is a well-known process in quantum nonlinear optics in which a photon incident on a nonlinear crystal spontaneously splits into two photons. Here we propose an analogous physical process where one excited atom directly transfers its excitation to a pair of spatially separated atoms with probability approaching 1. The interaction is mediated by the exchange of virtual rather than real photons. This nonlinear atomic process is coherent and reversible, so the pair of excited atoms can transfer the excitation back to the first one: the atomic analog of sum-frequency generation of light. The parameters used to investigate this process correspond to experimentally demonstrated values in ultrastrong circuit quantum electrodynamics. This approach can be extended to realize other nonlinear interatomic processes, such as four-atom mixing, and is an attractive architecture for the realization of quantum devices on a chip. We show that four-qubit mixing can efficiently implement quantum repetition codes and, thus, can be used for error-correction codes.

Can quantum control transform a biologist’s dream into practice?
ABSTRACT
All complex man-made machines (e.g., airplanes, self-driving cars, etc.) are loaded with switches and sensors to either enable or alter their operational performance. Nature evolved organisms to be replete with switches and sensors in order to function normally. The biology community has adopted Nature’s ways in this regard, but aiming to take a further step. In particular, through genetic engineering techniques, it is now possible to make (express) optogenetic switches and biosensors in vivo where both are often large proteins containing a chromophore. Upon radiation with the appropriate characteristics, the chromophore typically changes structure, which alters the action of the protein to act either as a switch or sensor of biological activity. Thus, the biologist’s Dream is to implant high numbers of multiplexed switches and sensors throughout organisms to either learn about their natural functions or alter those functions. The operation of both biological switches and sensors can be viewed as control problems where the overall goal is multiplexed operation with many switches and/or sensors selectively under control. The underlying challenge is that the spectra of each chromophore, as being a portion of a protein, is almost featureless over a very broad bandwidth. Such spectra from distinct switches and/or sensors often also significantly overlap (i.e., crosstalk), creating a significant task for selective operation. We are investigating the prospect that appropriately shaped light fields may be utilized to overcome the spectral crosstalk problem by exploiting quantum mechanical constructive and destructive interference, thereby opening up the possibility of multiplexed operations. The basic concepts will be discussed along with the presentation of initial experimental studies.

Resolving Starlight: a Quantum Perspective
ABSTRACT
The wave-particle duality of light introduces two fundamental problems to imaging: the diffraction limit and the photon shot noise. Quantum information theory can tackle them both with one holistic formalism: model the light as a quantum object, consider any quantum measurement, and pick the one that gives the best statistics. While Helstrom pioneered the theory half a century ago and first applied it to incoherent imaging, it was not until recently that the approach offered genuine surprises on the age-old topic by predicting a new class of superior imaging methods. For the resolution of two sub-Rayleigh sources, the new methods have been shown theoretically and experimentally to outperform direct imaging and approach the true quantum limits. Recent efforts to generalize the theory for arbitrary sources suggest that, despite the existence of harsh quantum limits, the quantum-inspired methods can still offer significant improvements over direct imaging, potentially benefiting many applications in astronomy as well as fluorescence microscopy.

The Heisenberg limit for laser coherence
ABSTRACT
To quantify quantum optical coherence requires both the particle- and wave-natures of light. For an ideal laser beam, it can be thought of roughly as the number of photons emitted consecutively into the beam with the same phase. This number, C, can be much larger than μ, the number of photons in the laser itself. The limit on C for an ideal laser was thought to be of order μ2. Here, assuming nothing about the laser operation, only that it produces a beam with properties close to those of an ideal laser beam, and that it does not have external sources or stores of coherence, we derive an upper bound: C = O(μ4). Moreover, using the matrix product states method, we find a model that achieves this scaling. Thus C = O(μ2) is only a standard quantum limit; the ultimate quantum limit, or Heisenberg limit, is quadratically better.

Quantum learning control – good solutions from “bad” models
ABSTRACT
In the quest to achieve scalable quantum information processing technologies, gradient-based optimal control algorithms (e.g., GRAPE) are broadly used for implementing high-precision quantum gates, but their performance is often hindered by deterministic or random errors in the system model and the control electronics. In this talk, we show that GRAPE can be taught to be smarter by learning from the data and/or from an imperfect model, and propose a series of gradient-based algorithms, deterministic or stochastic, for designing both robust and high-precision quantum control.

Quantum controlled optimal multi-parameter estimation
ABSTRACT
One of the main driving force for science and technology is to identify the highest achievable measurement precision, which is fundamentally limited by the Hersenberg’s uncertainty relation. For single-parameter quantum estimation, previous theoretical and experimental studies have shown this fundamental limit can be achievable. However, for many practical applications multi-parameter estimation, such as microscopy and imaging there are typically multiple parameters. Simultaneously achieving the highest precisions for multiple parameters is fundamentally equivalent to saturate the minimum uncertainty of multiple Heisenberg’s uncertainty relations.
It is widely believed that these uncertainty relations cannot be saturated simultaneously as some tradeoffs have to be made among the precisions of different parameters. Contrary to this general belief, we experimentally demonstrate that such tradeoffs can actually be counteracted by optimally designed controls. In particular we experimentally achieve the highest precision for all three parameters in SU(2), which is 18.5 dB over the shot-noise limit with the use of eight controls. Our experiment marks a crucial step towards achieving the ultimate precision of multi-parameter quantum estimation, which can have wide applications in magnetometry, quantum gyroscope, quantum reference frame alignment.

Quantum active filtering and application to broadband gravitational-wave detection
ABSTRACT
Feedback amplification (i.e., op-amp scheme) is a key technique for synthesizing various important functionalities especially in electronic circuits. Active filter is one such useful functionality. In this talk, I will present a quantum version of this method, where the so-called phase-insensitive amplifier and coherent (i.e., measurement-free) feedback are employed. Then I will show that this quantum active filter can be applied to enhance the bandwidth of the gravitational-wave detector.
