The remarkable optical properties of highly isotopically enriched silicon-28, resulting from the near-elimination of inhomogeneous broadening mechanisms, has led to the optical control and measurement of the electronic and nuclear spins of ensembles of shallow donor impurities, resulting in some record solid state coherence times. [1.2] These optical transition unfortunately have too low a...
Quantum networks promise many exciting applications from secure communication over distributed sensing to distributed quantum computation. I will describe several efforts related to designing the hardware architecture for such quantum networks. One approach towards a global quantum network combines quantum communication satellites with quantum repeaters . An important capability in this...
Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is a promising quantum cryptographic solution to maintain information security after the advent of quantum computers. QKD makes use of quantum mechanical properties to construct information-theoretically secure protocols for the transmission of an encryption key between two separated parties, colloquially named Alice and Bob. In the last decade, there have been...
Many computational problems require extensive processing or memory resources which can render solving them impossible when using known computer algorithms. An interesting problem in number theory is that of determining whether a set of integers can be separated into 2 subsets in which the sum of the integers in each subset is equal. This is often referred to as the partition problem, which is...
