Simulations of the generation of GHZ and 3×2 cluster states in Tin-vacancy color centers

For simulations over many repetition of the state generation experiment consult the Ensemble Sims Page.

For single instances of the experiment with detailed visualizations consider the Single Trajectory Sim Page.

A few notes on parameterization

The success probability of a Barret-Kot procedure is

P = η²/2

where η is the efficiency of the heralding step. That efficiency itself is

η = ηᵒᵖᵗ ξᴼᴮ F / (F-1 + (ξᴰᵂξᴱ)⁻¹ )

where

  • ηᵒᵖᵗ is the efficiency of the optical routing

  • F is the Purcell factor

  • ξᴼᴮ is the optical branching coeff. of the emitter

  • ξᴰᵂ is the Debye-Waller coeff. of the emitter

  • ξᴱ is the quantum efficiency coeff. of the emitter

The default parameter values

The default parameter values for emitter properties are mostly taken from 10.1103/PhysRevLett.124.023602 and 10.1103/PhysRevX.11.041041. For the nuclear spins we reused some NV⁻ data. Below are the defaults.

              Parameters:
ξᴼᴮ	= 0.8
Fᵉⁿᵗ	= 1.0
gʰᶠ	= 42600.0
ηᵒᵖᵗ	= 0.1
ξᴰᵂ	= 0.57
T₂ᵉ	= 0.01
Fᵖᵘʳᶜ	= 10.0
ξᴱ	= 0.8
Fᵐᵉᵃˢ	= 0.99
T₁ᵉ	= 1.0
T₂ⁿ	= 100.0
T₁ⁿ	= 100000.0
τᵉⁿᵗ	= 0.015
            

A few things that are not modeled in detail

But are easy to add when we get around to it...

  • time gating of the detectors might be quite important but it is not used

    • it would increase fidelity

    • it would decrease efficiency

  • mismatches between emitters (random or systematic) are lumped into "raw entanglement fidelity"

  • the Purcell factor's effect on the spectral properties (indistinguishability) of the photons

  • detector dark counts and other imperfections are lumped into "coincidence measurement fidelity"

  • most single-qubit gate times and fidelities are neglected

  • initialization of the nuclear and electronic spins is not modeled in detail

  • bleaching and charge state instability are not modeled

  • dead time from reconfiguring optical paths is not modeled

  • crosstalk in microwave control is not modeled

  • optical crosstalk and poor extinction are not modeled

  • decoupling the electronic and nuclear spin after a failed measurement is not modeled in detail
