Abstract: A device includes a superconductor layer and a piezoelectric layer positioned adjacent to the superconductor layer. The piezoelectric layer is configured to apply a first strain to the superconductor layer in response to receiving a first voltage that is below a predefined voltage threshold and to apply a second strain to the superconductor layer in response to receiving a second voltage that is above the predefined voltage threshold. While the device is maintained below a superconducting threshold temperature for the superconductor layer and is supplied with current below a superconducting threshold current for the superconductor layer, the superconductor layer is configured to 1) operate in a superconducting state when the piezoelectric layer applies the first strain to the superconductor layer and 2) operate in an insulating state when the piezoelectric layer applies the second strain to the superconductor layer.

Abstract: A quantum repeater circuit can include a resource state interconnect circuit that outputs one resource state per clock cycle, with each resource state having a number of entangled qubits. The circuit can also include circuits and delay lines to perform entangling measurement operations on qubits of resource states generated by the same resource state generator in different clock cycles. The circuit can be operated as a quantum repeater that receives an encoded logical qubit and produces a reduced-noise version of the encoded logical qubit.

Abstract: In some embodiments a method comprises depositing a first silicon nitride layer on a top surface of a semiconductor wafer and forming one or more first gaps in the first silicon nitride layer. The one or more first gaps can relieve stress formed in the first silicon nitride layer. A first fill material is deposited on the first silicon nitride layer and the first silicon nitride layer is planarized. A second silicon nitride layer is deposited across the first silicon nitride layer and one or more second gaps are formed in the second silicon nitride layer. The one or more second gaps can relieve stress formed in the second silicon nitride layer. A second fill material is deposited across the second silicon nitride layer and the second silicon nitride layer is planarized.

Abstract: Photons can propagate concurrently in two different directions along optical paths in a generalized Mach Zehnder interferometer (GMZI). A counterpropagating GMZI can include a first set of input ports and a second set of input ports, a first set of output ports and a second set of output ports, and optical components interconnected to form a GMZI that can selectably establish a first optical path between one of the first set of input ports and one of the first set of output ports and a second optical path between one of the second set of input ports and one of the second set of output ports. The first optical path and the second optical path can include an overlapping portion though which photons on the first and second optical paths propagate in opposing directions.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a plurality of entangled qubits represented by a lattice structure that includes a plurality of contiguous lattice cells. A respective edge of a respective lattice cell corresponds to one or more edge qubits, and a respective face of the respective lattice cell corresponding to one or more face qubits. Each face qubit is entangled with adjacent edge qubits. A first face of the respective lattice cell corresponds to two or more face qubits, and/or a first edge corresponds to two or more edge qubits. A device for obtaining the plurality of entangled qubits represented by the above-described lattice structure is also described.

Abstract: An example circuit includes a superconducting component having a plurality of narrow portions and a plurality of wide portions. The example circuit further includes a plurality of photon detector components, each photon detector component coupled to a corresponding narrow portion of the plurality of narrow portions and configured to provide an output that causes the corresponding narrow portion to transition from a superconducting state to a non-superconducting state. The example circuit also includes an output component coupled to the superconducting component, the output component configured to determine a number of the plurality of narrow portions of the superconducting component that are in the non-superconducting state.

Abstract: A method includes propagating light in a first waveguide of a 1×2 optical switch. The first waveguide is adjacent to a second waveguide in a coupling region. The 1×2 optical switch comprising an input to receive the light and couple the light to the first waveguide. The 1×2 optical switch further comprising a first output to output light from the first waveguide and a second output to output the light from the second waveguide. The method further includes coupling the light to the first output and the second output based on absorption values of the second waveguide in the coupling region; adjusting absorption values of the second waveguide in the coupling region such that light is directed from the input to only the first output; and coupling light to only the first output based on the adjusted absorption values of the second waveguide in the coupling region.
