Hybrid quantum systems with artificial atoms in solid state (2404.05174v1)

Abstract: The development of single-platform qubits, predominant for most of the last few decades, has driven the progress of quantum information technologies but also highlighted the limitations of various platforms. Some inherent issues such as charge/spin noise in materials hinder certain platforms, while increased decoherence upon attempts to scale-up severely impact qubit quality and coupling on others. In addition, a universal solution for coherent information transfer between quantum systems remains lacking. By combining one or more qubit platforms, one could potentially create new hybrid platforms that might alleviate significant issues that current single platform qubits suffer from, and in some cases, even facilitate the conversion of static to flying qubits on the same hybrid platform. While nascent, this is an area of rising importance that could shed new light on robust and scalable qubit development and provide new impetus for research directions. Here, we define the requirements for hybrid systems with artificial atoms in solid state, exemplify them with systems that have been proposed or attempted, and conclude with our outlook for such hybrid quantum systems.
