Combining critical and quantum metrology

C Hotter, H Ritsch, K Gietka - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Critical metrology relies on the precise preparation of a system in its ground state near a
quantum phase transition point where quantum correlations get very strong. Typically, this …

Single-shot quantum signal processing interferometry

J Sinanan-Singh, GL Mintzer, IL Chuang, Y Liu - Quantum, 2024 - quantum-journal.org
Quantum systems of infinite dimension, such as bosonic oscillators, provide vast resources
for quantum sensing. Yet, a general theory on how to manipulate such bosonic modes for …

Squeezing and overcoming the Heisenberg scaling with spin-orbit coupled quantum gases

K Gietka, H Ritsch - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We predict that exploiting spin-orbit coupling in a harmonically trapped spinor quantum gas
can lead to scaling of the optimal measurement precision beyond the Heisenberg scaling …

Unique steady-state squeezing in a driven quantum Rabi model

K Gietka, C Hotter, H Ritsch - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Squeezing is essential to many quantum technologies and our understanding of quantum
physics. Here, we show a novel type of steady-state squeezing that can be generated in the …

Squeezing of the quantum electromagnetic vacuum

K Gietka - arXiv preprint arXiv:2303.11631, 2023 - arxiv.org
It is commonly agreed that the electromagnetic vacuum is not empty but filled with virtual
photons. This leads to effects like Lamb shift and spontaneous emission. Here we argue that …

Algorithmic Design and Optimization for Quantum Computation with a Qubit-Oscillator System

GL Mintzer - 2024 - dspace.mit.edu
Quantum computation has long been dominated by a digital approach using the qubit, which
exists in a two-dimensional vector space, as its basic unit. More recently, there has been …
