DESCRIPTION:Quantum annealing is a branch of quantum computation aimed at 
 solving optimization problems. The optimization problem is encoded in a qu
 antum Hamiltonian\, whose ground state is the wanted solution. Standard qu
 antum annealing works as follows. The qubit system is prepared in the grou
 nd state of a simple Hamiltonian. Then\, the qubits are evolved in time us
 ing a time-dependent Hamiltonian that\, at the final time\, coincides with
  the one used to encode the optimization problem. If the evolution is slow
  compared to the minimal level spacing\, then the adiabatic theorem of qua
 ntum mechanics ensures macroscopic occupation of the target ground state a
 t the end of the evolution.\n\nThe algorithm is limited by small spectral 
 gaps\, occurring in the presence of quantum phase transitions\, and is rea
 lized in the presence of dissipation\, due to the interaction with the env
 ironment. While disruptive in general\, low-temperature environments can s
 ometimes favor quantum annealing\, improving the success probability. This
  beneficial effect can be further enhanced using pauses at specific times 
 during the dynamics\, favoring thermal relaxation towards the ground state
 .\n\nMy talk will present some results concerning quantum annealing in the
  presence of dissipation\, with and without pauses\, for the p-spin model\
 , a prototypical Ising system often used as a benchmark for quantum anneal
 ing. This model is hardly studied experimentally due to its full connectiv
 ity and the presence of p-body interactions. However\, its rotational symm
 etry allows for an easy numerical analysis in the weak coupling limit. I w
 ill show that dissipation and pauses can improve the success probability o
 f the quantum annealing of this model.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/24

SUMMARY:H. Ahmad - Electrodynamics of Highly Spin-Polarized Tunnel Josephs

DESCRIPTION:The continuous development of superconducting electronics is e
 ncouraging several studies on hybrid Josephson Junctions (JJs)\, such as S
 FS heterostructures. The competition between the superconducting order par
 ameter in the electrodes and the ferromagnetic order parameter in the barr
 ier leads to unconventional properties like: second harmonics in the curre
 nt-phase relation (CPR)\, a transition in the phase difference between the
  electrodes from 0 to π and the formation of spin-triplet Cooper pairs cu
 rrents\, exploitable in spintronic devices and switchable elements in quan
 tum/classical circuits. However\, most of the applications of SFS JJs in r
 eal superconducting circuits are limited by the high decoherence in these 
 devices due to quasiparticles poisoning. We propose here an electrodynamic
  characterization of a new kind of ferromagnetic JJs in which the barrier 
 is an insulating ferromagnet (tunnel-ferromagnetic spin-filter JJs). Spin-
 filter JJs show evidences of MQT and an incomplete 0-π transition that co
 uld enhance the capabilities of SFS JJs also as active elements. In order 
 to meet specific circuit requirements it is necessary a full comprehension
  of the dissipation processes and the knowledge of the scaling laws with t
 he thickness of fundamental electrodynamics parameters\, like the resistan
 ce due to the quasiparticles and the capacitance of the device. We show th
 at the Tunnel Junction Microscopic (TJM) model leads to a reliable and sel
 f-consistent estimation of these parameters\, and that our self-consistent
  approach can be fully extended to other type of tunnel JJs.\n\nhttps://in

DESCRIPTION:Building scalable Quantum Information Processing systems requi
 res the ability to perform addressing\, readout\, control\, addressing and
  signal distribution for individual quantum elements using low-power cryog
 enic devices co-located or integrated at the mK stage.  We propose to acco
 mplish this using a novel superconducting device - Symmetric rf-SQUID. Thi
 s device has been successfully tested as the fundamental element of a Symm
 etric Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifier (STWPA)\, giving improved perfor
 mances with respect to the existing TWPAs. Thanks to its flexibility\, the
  Symmetric rf-SQUID allowed us to independently tune both even and odd non
 linear terms of the Josephson current-phase relation. Based on this behavi
 or\, we perform analytical and numerical simulations showing the possibili
 ty to operate the Symmetric rf-SQUID in many scenarios as rf up-down conve
 rsion mixers\, tunable-unitary gain phase shifters and linear tunable indu
 ctances with an inductance-value-independent weak nonlinearity. The obtain
 ed results will be presented and discussed.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/eve

DESCRIPTION:In this work we present a study on the dark counts rate in a N
 bTiN\nSuperconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectros (SNSPD). The strip 
 is 80nm wide\, hence\nwe are in the 2D regime. We measure the distribution
  of the time intervals elapsed between two\nconsecutive dark pulses at 4\,
 2K and we do not observe a simple Poisson distribution as expected\nbut a 
 combination of two Poisson-like processes\, occurring with two dierent rat
 es. The two\nmeasured dark counts rate exhibit a dierent dependence on the
  bias current: one process\ndominates at lower bias and the other bocomes 
 more prominent as the current increases. In\nthe scenario presented by Ejr
 naes et al. [1]\, this result could conrm that\, in this temperature\nregi
 me\, dark counts are generated mainly by multiple consecutive\nuctuation e
 vents. The result\ncan also be a footprint of two dierent process occurrin
 g in the nanostrip.\n\nReferences\n[1] Ejrnaes M\, Salvoni D\, Parlato L\,

DESCRIPTION:Hybrid mesoscopic systems in which conventional superconductiv
 ity\, spin-orbit interactions\, and magnetism come into play at the same t
 ime\, have attracted a lot of interest in recent studies\, allowing for th
 e possibility to carry\, manipulate and transform quantum information\, wh
 ich is a great advantage to develop components for applications in quantum
  technology.\nIn particular\, superconducting circuits with Josephson junc
 tions are among the leading candidates for the realization of the fundamen
 tal building blocks of a quantum computer.\nIn this context\, we present a
  study concerning the anomalous Josephson effect [1]\, predicting a finite
  pair current in the absence of phase difference between the superconducto
 rs.\nWe focus to S/SO/F/S system in which spin-orbit coupled and ferromagn
 etic layers alternate. We calculate the Josephson current carried by the s
 ubgap Andreev levels calculated as a function of the phase difference φ b
 etween the two superconductors\, using a scattering matrix formalism\, bas
 ed of phenomenological scattering matrices. We show that the coexistence o
 f spin-orbit interaction and Zeeman effect is sufficient to break spin rot
 ation and time-reversal symmetry in spatially separated regions of the jun
 ction\, allowing to observe an anomalous Josephson effect. We also show th
 at in the presence of an anomalous phase shift\, a direction dependent cri
 tical current can show up.\nFinally\, future perspectives of our work will
  be discussed\, such as a semi-empirical microscopic description of the su
 perconducting proximity effect\, where the transport properties of the sys
 tem are studied using the recursive Green’s functions method on a two- d
 imensional Bogoliubov De Gennes tight-binding Hamiltonian.\n\nReferences:\

DESCRIPTION:Spintronics and Quantum Electronics represent the new candidat
 es for future high-performance computer and information processes. The use
  of the electron spin\, rather than charge\, as information carrier\, can 
 for instance define the unit of quantum information: the quantum bit (qubi
 t). Recent developments have shown that the exploitation of the Rashba Spi
 n Orbit Coupling (SOC) in two-dimensional (2D) materials is an innovative 
 and attractive solution for the quantum computation. For example\, SOC is 
 used for a more efficient charge to spin conversion in spin-orbit torque d
 evices.\nHere we propose two-dimensional oxide (2D-oxides) systems as inno
 vative quantum devices 1. The idea is to combine Rashba spin-orbit couplin
 g (SOC)\, 2D-magnetism\, superconductivity (SC) and high-mobility in the s
 ame 2D electron gas (2DEG) that is formed at the interface between wide ba
 ndgap insulators oxides. We have demonstrated that the superconducting 2DE
 G created at the interface between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) becomes spi
 n polarized by introducing a few unit cells of delta doping EuTiO3 (ETO)\,
  an antiferromagnetic (AF) insulator iso-structural to STO 2. Firstly\, we
  have investigated the interplay between ferromagnetism and Rashba spin-or
 bit interactions by studying the magnetoconductance curves of the 2DEG as 
 a function of the applied gate voltage and temperature 3. Recently we have
  also found that the interface exhibits\, under visible light\, a persiste
 nt photoconductivity and anomalous Hall effect. This feature is probably r
 elated to the different nature of the photo-excited spin-polarized 4f carr
 iers due to ETO.\nThe application of oxide 2DEGs to advanced electronics r
 equires also the creation of suitably designed nanodevices. We have realiz
 ed (LAO/STO) tunnel devices using Helium focused ion beam (He-FIB). Our pr
 eliminary measurements show that these devices are fully tunable and could
  have interesting tunnel I-V characteristics. Our results show that these 
 oxide nanodevices could have a significant and far-reaching impact for new
  quantum spintronic development.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/24/contr

DESCRIPTION:Since its theoretical prediction in 1962 [1]\, the tunnelling 
 current (with no applied voltage) that arises in a system constituted by t
 wo superconductors separated by a barrier has been the subject of many sci
 entific studies. It was quite soon discovered that the current-phase relat
 ion I=ICsin(ϕ) (where ϕ is the phase difference between the order parame
 ter of the two superconductors) as predicted in [1] does not always apply\
 , depending both on the temperature and the barrier of the system. As a ma
 tter of fact\, quite different types of current-phase relation can be foun
 d using as the separating barrier either insulators\, normal metals\, and 
 superconductors\, or more general constrictions of different heights and w
 idths both in condensed matter and in ultra-cold atoms experiments.\n\nIn 
 order to better understand the mechanism at the basis of the DC Josephson 
 effect and to model both the current-phase relation and the critical value
  IC\, several theoretical and numerical approaches have been developed. Th
 e early works relied mostly on the Ginzburg-Landau equations [2][3][4][5][
 6]\, but there were also attempts to use microscopic theories [7][8][9] or
  perturbative calculations [10]. More recently methods have been developed
  based on the quasi-classical Green’s functions [11][12] and the Bogoliu
 bov-deGennes (BdG) equations [13][14].\nDespite some good agreements with 
 the experimental data [15][11][12]\, none of these approaches could be suc
 cessfully applied to the following circumstances of physical interest:\n\n
     over the whole temperature range from T=0 to T=Tc\;\n    to all possib
 le barrier widths and heights\;\n    along (most part of) the BCS-BEC cros
 sover.\n\nThe main reason underlying of our study of the DC Josephson effe
 ct has been to fill this gap. To this end\, we have made use of a local-ph
 ase-density approximation to the BdG equations\, both in its local (LPDA) 
 [16] and non-local (NLPDA) [17] versions. Both LPDA and NLPDA approaches\,
  which are computationally faster and less storage demanding than the BdG 
 equations\, give us the opportunity to study the behavior of the Josephson
  current with reliable results along the BCS side of the BCS-BEC crossover
 \, with no limitations on the barrier width and down to low temperatures.\

DESCRIPTION:Quantum key distribution (QKD\, or more generically\, quantum 
 cryptography) is today the sole technology able to guarantee unconditional
  security in sensitive data exchange\, as QKD protocols are in principle e
 ffective regardless of the computational power available to a potential ea
 vesdropper. Although QKD devices are already adopted outside the laborator
 ies\, this technology is still far from a large-scale deployment in existi
 ng fiber networks and telecom infrastructures\, due to practical issues as
  low secret-key rate achievable\, high costs and high requirements in term
 s of low-noise fiber links. These practical challenges in experimental QKD
  are the main topic of my talk. Indeed\, my PhD project is focused on QKD 
 in-field demonstrations\, with the aim of proving its compatibility with a
 lready installed fiber links\, while also testing its robustness against c
 lassical signals co-propagating through the same fiber. Specifically\, I w
 ill address two QKD field-trials involving a metropolitan fiber channel in
  Florence and a submarine fiber link between Sicily and Malta. In addition
 \, I will show the results of my collaboration with Technical University o
 f Denmark\, in which we set up a prototype for high-dimensional QKD\, with
  the aim of increasing the secret-key rate achievable while maintaining a 
 cost-effective experimental apparatus.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/24

  significantly affects the electronic properties of the system\, leading t

 ransition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). First principles calculations of t

DESCRIPTION:The Davydov model describes energy transfer in the hydrogen-bo
 nded spines that stabilize protein α-helices. Its Hamiltonian has three p
 arts: Ĥ =Ĥ ex+Ĥ ph+Ĥ int\, where Ĥ ex is the exciton Hamiltonian
  (describing the internal amide-I excitations of the peptide groups)\, Ĥ
  ph is the phonon Hamiltonian (describing deformational oscillations of th
 e lattice) and Ĥ int is the interaction Hamiltonian (describing the inte
 raction of amide-I excitation with the motions of the lattice sites).\nThe
  primary goal of the thesis project is to go beyond the energy transfer an
 d study the full state transfer along the α-helix by considering the Hami
 ltonian Ĥ  as corresponding to a spin network.\nPreliminary investigatio
 ns on the phase dynamics\, which only account for Ĥ ex\, show the possib
 ility of perfect state transfer between distant qubit.\nWe suspect however
  that the addition of Ĥ ph+Ĥ int can wash out the coherence\, and we a
 re currently estimating the time scale of this effect.\nSubsequently\, we 
 will pursue the same goal by modifying the Davydov model. In particular\, 
 we plan to introduce physically motivated anharmonic terms in Ĥ ph and s
 ite-dependent coupling constants in Ĥ int. These could lead to coherence
  recovery and hence facilitate the quantum state transfer through the prot
 ein α-helices.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event/24/contributions/293/

 quantum physics at macroscopic scales. The standard and simplest optomecha
 nical setup is a Fabry-Perot cavity in which one of the two mirrors is a v
 ibrating micromechanical object. In fact\, it has been the first experimen
 tally studied cavity optomechanical system. It is also possible to place a
  mechanical element inside the optical cavity such as a flexible membrane 
 which could be exploited for applications such as quantum detection of wea
 k forces\, displacements\, masses\, and accelerations. In this research\, 
 our main aim is to perform a quantum theoretical analysis on the power-noi
 se spectrum by considering the phase measurements in a cavity optomechanic
 s setup involving a coherently driven membrane in the middle of the cavity
 . In other words\, mechanical motion of the system is studied by monitorin
 g the phase of the optical cavity output.\n\nhttps://indico.unina.it/event

DESCRIPTION:Quantum annealing can be used to solve optimization prob-\nlem
 s. Quantum processors\, performing quantum annealing\, operate mini-\nmizi
 ng a cost function. The central issue is to map the cost function which\nh
 as p-body interactions into a function with at most 2-body interactions.\n
 In the already existing method of minor embedding\, xing the number of\nan
 cillae qubits for highly interacting models becomes impractical. Here\nwe 
 propose a technique for obtaining approximate mapping based on ge-\nnetic 
 algorithms. We verify the feasibility of this procedure by mapping\nferrom
 agnetic p-spin model in two analytically solvable cases.\n\nBased on the m

DESCRIPTION:This lecture considers a Josephson junction in series with an 
 impedance voltage biased below the gap. In this simple quantum electrodyna
 mics system\, the coupling constant between Cooper pair tunneling and each
  mode of the impedance is determined by the ratio between the mode impedan
 ce Z=√(L/C) and the relevant resistance quantum RQ= h/(2e)2 ~6.5 kOhms. 
 A series of interesting situations that have been investigated will be con
 sidered in this lecture.\nIn the simplest case of a single mode resonator\
 , the transfer of a single Cooper pair only occurs when its energy 2eV can
  be transformed in 1\,2\,..n photonic excitations in the resonator. This i
 nelastic tunneling phenomenon is the essence of Dynamical Coulomb Blockade
 . In the strong coupling regime\, the presence of a single photon can even
  block the creation of a second one\, which forces the resonator to emit a
  single photon in the external circuit before another Cooper pair can pass
  and re-excite it. One gets this way a very simple single photon source.\n
 In a two-mode resonator circuit with different frequencies\, the transfer 
 of a single Cooper pair can simultaneously excite a single photonic excita
 tion in each mode. The photons leaking out of the resonators in the measur
 ement lines are then entangled. In the particular case of two resonators r
 espectively with a high (low) Q\, the stabilization of a single excitation
  Fock state in the high Q resonator can furthermore be achieved.\nApplicat
 ions are sought for these non-classical sources of radiation in the microw
 ave domain that could be extended up to the THz frequency range.\n\nhttps:

DESCRIPTION:In the continuous variables (CV) approach\, universal computat
 ion can be identified via a universal set of Hamiltonians\, able to genera
 te any arbitrary evolution as a combination of finite-time Hamiltonian uni
 taries\, including Gaussian and non-Gaussian interaction - which are not e
 asy to realise in an optical implementation. Differently form the discrete
  variables (DV) approach the two-modes entangling gate in the CV encoding 
 is a Gaussian gate which can be implemented by combination of squeezing an
 d linear optics. This has as consequence that the CV approach is particula
 rly suitable for the one-way model of quantum computing based on cluster s
 tate. I will revise experimental generation of multimode quantum states fo
 r CV protocols and in particular the one based on optical frequency combs 
 and parametric processes. The protocols\, along with mode selective and mu
 ltimode homodyne measurements\, allow for the implementation of reconfigur
 able entanglement connections between the involved. This can be exploited 
 for fabricating entanglement structures with regular geometry as cluster s
 tates or graphs with more complex topology which can emulate quantum physi
 cal systems in complex structures or quantum protocols in complex networks
 . I will also revise non-Gaussian operations\, which are necessaries to re
 ach a form of quantum advantage in this scenario\n\nhttps://indico.unina.i
