Patent number: 11962354Abstract: A system and method for providing quantum entanglement using a hybrid space-fiber quantum network are described. The hybrid space-fiber quantum network includes a communications hub located proximate to an optical ground station and also includes an aerial entangled particle source, such as an entangled photon source attached to a satellite, drone, aircraft, etc. An atmospheric or free-space channel is used to distribute quantum entanglement between optical ground stations that are separated by geographic distances, via the aerial entangled particle source. Also, fiber optic links are connected to the communications hub located proximate to the optical ground station. The communications hub includes optical switches that enable any of the fiber optic links connected to the communications hub to receive or send distributed quantum entanglement to a remotely located recipient endpoint via the atmospheric or free-space channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mihir Keshav Bhaskar, Antia Lamas Linares, David Sarkis Levonian, Bartholomeus Johannes Machielse, Oskar Jon Painter

Publication number: 20230188548Abstract: A system and method for providing quantum entanglement as a service are described. Intermediate nodes which may be located in trusted or trustless locations are used to distribute quantum entanglement to endpoints, such as endpoints of customers of a quantum entanglement distribution service. The distributed quantum entanglement provides a secure communication path that does not rely on trust placed in an infrastructure or software provider. To distribute the quantum entanglement, intermediate nodes comprising quantum memories are used. Joint measurements are performed on quantum particles of respective entangled quantum pairs received at the intermediate nodes without collapsing superposition states of the particles. This allows for the quantum entanglement to be extended across intermediate nodes while maintaining entanglement and superposition of the entangled quantum particles.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2021Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Mihir Keshav Bhaskar, Bartholomeus Johannes Machielse, David Sarkis Levonian, Antia Lamas Linares, Oskar Jon Painter

Publication number: 20220156621Abstract: A fault tolerant quantum computer is implemented using hybrid acoustic-electric qubits. A control circuit includes an asymmetrically threaded superconducting quantum interference devices (ATS) that excites excite phonons in a mechanical resonator by driving a storage mode of the mechanical resonator and dissipates phonons from the mechanical resonator via an open transmission line coupled to the control circuit, wherein the open transmission line is configured to absorb photons from a dump mode of the control circuit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2020Publication date: May 19, 2022Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Patricio Arrangoiz Arriola, Amir Safavi-Naeini, Oskar Jon Painter, Connor Hann, Fernando Brandao, Kyungjoo Noh, Joseph Kramer Iverson, Harald Esko Jakob Putterman, Christopher Chamberland, Earl Campbell

Publication number: 20220156622Abstract: High-fidelity measurements of qubits are achieved by increasing a number of measurements taken by use of a swap operation and a readout qubit, deflating a bosonic qubit for which measurement outcomes are affected by single photon/phonon loss events, deflating a bosonic qubit enabling readout in other basis, and evolving the qubit under a Hamiltonian that couples a mode to be measured to another mode where the Hamiltonian is selected from a three wave mixing interaction, and/or a combination of these techniques.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2020Publication date: May 19, 2022Applicant: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Harald Esko Jakob Putterman, Kyungjoo Noh, Christopher Chamberland, Amir Safavi-Naeini, Oskar Jon Painter, Patricio Arrangoiz Arriola

Patent number: 7092421Abstract: An optoelectronic transducer comprises a unipolar, intraband active region and a micro-cavity resonator. The resonator includes a 2D array of essentially equally spaced regions that exhibits resonant modes. Each of the spaced regions has a depth that extends through the active region and has an average refractive index that is different from that of the active region. The refractive index contrast, the spacing of the spaced regions, and the dimensions of the spaced regions are mutually adapted so that the array acts as a micro-cavity resonator and so that at least one frequency of the resonant modes of the array falls within the spectrum of an optoelectronic parameter of the active region (i.e., the gain spectrum where the transducer is a laser; the absorption spectrum where the transducer is a photodetector). In a first embodiment, the transducer is an ISB laser, whereas in a second embodiment it is a unipolar, intraband photodetector.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2003Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Federico Capasso, Alfred Yi Cho, Raffaele Colombelli, Claire F.
