    摘要: Various embodiments for precise and accurate delivery, in terms of position, frequency, and/or phase, of one or more lasers to an atomic system are provided. In a first embodiment, a gate laser system for a trapped ion quantum computer comprising a first and second laser are provided. The first and second lasers are frequency locked to a first and second frequency of a frequency comb, respectively. The first and second lasers are each configured to provide laser beams to a qubit ion within an ion trap of the quantum computer to provide a gate. In another embodiment, a qubit ion and sympathetic ion management system for a trapped ion quantum computer comprising a first, second, and third laser is provided. Each laser is locked to a different frequency of a frequency comb, and provide one or more laser beams to an ion trap of the quantum computer.

    摘要: A system and method for safe use of an optics assembly with an external light source and an optically coupled optics module is disclosed. The system includes an external light module emitting a continuous wave laser through an output port. An optics module has an input port and a memory. The optics module generates a modulated optical signal. The memory stores the power level of the continuous wave laser signal received by the optics module. An optical jumper is provided for coupling the output port with the input port. A communication bus is coupled between a controller and the external light source module. The controller sets the external light source at a low power level and transitions the external light source to a high power level when the stored power level of the continuous wave laser signal received by the optics module exceeds a predetermined level.

    摘要: A feedback oscillator, with an amplifier whose output is partially fed back to its input, provides a stable reference for standardization and synchronization. The laser is a feedback oscillator whose performance can be limited by quantum fluctuations. The resulting frequency instability, quantified by the Schawlow-Townes formula, sets a limit to laser linewidth. Here, we show that the Schawlow-Townes formula applies to feedback oscillators beyond lasers. This is because it arises from quantum noise added by the amplifier and an out-coupler in the feedback loop. Tracing the origin of quantum noise in an oscillator informs techniques to systematically evade it: squeezing and entanglement can enable sub-Schawlow-Townes linewidth feedback oscillators. We clarify the quantum limits to the stability of feedback oscillators, derive a standard quantum limit (SQL) for feedback oscillators, and disclose quantum strategies for realizing sub-SQL feedback oscillators.

    摘要: An optical signal amplifier using a praseodymium doped fiber is described. The optical signal amplifier includes a signal laser, a first optical isolator, a second optical isolator a pump laser, a wave division multiplexer, a silica based glass optical fiber, a second optical isolator, an optical power meter, and an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA). The signal laser generates a signal laser beam. The pump laser generates a pumped laser beam. The wave division multiplexer combines the signal laser beam and the pumped laser beam and generates a combined laser beam. The silica based glass optical fiber has a preferred concentration of praseodymium ions of about 50×1024 ions/m3 and a length of about 5.7 m. The silica based glass optical fiber receives the combined laser beam, amplifies photons in the combined laser beam, and generates an amplified laser beam.
