Patent number: 11853847Abstract: Quantum information processing involves entangling large numbers of qubits, which can be realized as defect centers in a solid-state host. The qubits can be implemented as individual unit cells, each with its own control electronics, that are arrayed in a cryostat. Free-space control and pump beams address the qubit unit cells through a cryostat window. The qubit unit cells emit light in response to these control and pump beams and microwave pulses applied by the control electronics. The emitted light propagates through free space to a mode mixer, which interferes the optical modes from adjacent qubit unit cells for heralded Bell measurements. The qubit unit cells are small (e.g., 10 ?m square), so they can be tiled in arrays of up to millions, addressed by free-space optics with micron-scale spot sizes. The processing overhead for this architecture remains relatively constant, even with large numbers of qubits, enabling scalable large-scale quantum information processing.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2020Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Hyeongrak Choi, Dirk Robert Englund
