Now, at IWQNS, Sara Mouradian from @Berkeley_ions on Engineering Quantum Networks
#LTQI IWQNS

@Berkeley_ions Sara Mouradian did her PhD on NV centers, and now works on ion traps.
A single photon detected from two NV⁻ centers allows to prepare them in entangled state. Her NV's are at 10K. Current rate of entanglement is limite to much less than spin coherence time

@Berkeley_ions Sara Mouradian put her NVs in photonic crystal (diamond) cavities to improve entanglement rate. Her cavity has Q>14,000, but NVs are then close to surfaces, which broadens noise.

@Berkeley_ions Sara Mouradiannow moves on to photonic architectures. She avoid the exponential scaling of monolithic ach. by making a hybrid arch., where diamond waveguide effectively containing NV are placed on an existing integrated network

@Berkeley_ions Sara Moradian now moves to trapped ions. Trapped ions have really nice fidelities. Their other beauty is their shared motional modes, which easily be manitpulated. Aribitrary connectivity is achievable. See arxiv:1903.08181 arxiv.org/abs/1903.08181
