Recent studies to solve nuclear structure problems using quantum computers rely on a quantum algorithm known as Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE). In this study, we calculate the correlation energy in Helium-6 using VQE, with a \textit{full-term} unitary-paired-coupled-cluster-doubles (UpCCD) ansatz on a quantum computer simulator and implement...

Quantum and biological systems are seldom discussed together as they seemingly demand opposing conditions. Life is complex, ``hot and wet'' whereas quantum objects are small, cold and well controlled. Here, we overcome this barrier with a tardigrade --- a microscopic multicellular organism known to tolerate extreme physicochemical conditions via a...
Article
We present a control and measurement setup for superconducting qubits based on the Xilinx 16-channel radio-frequency system-on-chip (RFSoC) device. The proposed setup consists of four parts: multiple RFSoC boards, a setup to synchronize every digital to analog converter (DAC) and analog to digital converter (ADC) channel across multiple boards, a l...

A rudimentary Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectrometer is design using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) equipped with two digital-to-analog (DAC) and two analog-to-digital (ADC) channels. The single stage heterodyne setup operates at X band frequencies and is used to detect EPR signals from 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) in a...

Quantum and biological systems are seldom discussed together as they seemingly demand opposing conditions. Life is complex, "hot and wet" whereas quantum objects are small, cold and well controlled. Here, we overcome this barrier with a tardigrade -- a microscopic multicellular organism known to tolerate extreme physiochemical conditions via a late...

A challenge in the Gauss-sum factorization scheme is the presence of ghost factors, nonfactors that behave similarly to actual factors of an integer, which might lead to the misidentification of nonfactors as factors or vice versa, especially in the presence of noise. We investigate type II ghost factors, which are the class of ghost factors that c...

We present a control and measurement setup for superconducting qubits based on Xilinx 16-channel radio frequency system on chip (RFSoC) device. The proposed setup consists of four parts: multiple RFSoC FPGA boards, a setup to synchronise every DAC and ADC channel across multiple boards, a low-noise DC current supply for qubit biasing and cloud acce...

A challenge in the Gauss sums factorization scheme is the presence of ghost factors - non-factors that behave similarly to actual factors of an integer - which might lead to the misidentification of non-factors as factors or vice versa, especially in the presence of noise. We investigate Type II ghost factors, which are the class of ghost factors t...

An effcient radiation and position monitoring system is useful for preliminary security inspection and radiation emergency preparedness and response. A high sensitivity and effective monitoring system is needed for these applications. In this study, two position-sensitive prototypes were proposed by using of 8 Multi Pixel Photon Counters (MPPC) and...

Using a home-built Ku band ESR spectrometer equipped with an arbitrary waveform generator and a stripline resonator, we implement two types of pulses that would benefit quantum computers: BB1 composite pulse and a microwave frequency comb. Broadband type 1 (BB1) composite pulse is commonly used to combat systematic errors but previous experiments w...
Article
Hybrid quantum systems have the potential of mitigating current challenges in developing a scalable quantum computer. Of particular interest is the hybridization between atomic and superconducting qubits. We demonstrate an experimental setup for transferring and trapping ultracold atoms inside a millikelvin cryogenic environment, where interactions...

We present a 17 GHz (Ku band) arbitrary waveform pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer for experiments down to millikelvin temperatures. The spectrometer is located at room temperature, while the resonator is placed either in a room temperature magnet or inside a cryogen-free dilution refrigerator; the operating temperature range of t...
Article
This article details our work to obtain strong excitation for electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments by improving the resonator's efficiency. The advantages and application of strong excitation are discussed. Two 17GHz transmission-type, stripline resonators were designed, simulated and fabricated. Scattering parameter measurements were...
