Quantum point contact Theoretically, ideal quantum detector, η= A.K., 998 (Gurvitz, 997; Aleiner et al., 997) I(t) Experimentally, η > 8% (using Buks et al., 998). SET-transistor I(t) Very non-ideal in usual operation regime, η Shnirman-Schőn, 998; A.K.,, Devoret-Schoelkopf, However, reaches ideality, η = if: - in deep cotunneling regime (Averin,, vanden Brink, ) - S-SET, using supercurrent (Zorin, 996) - S-SET, double-jqp peak (Clerk et al., )??? S-SET, usual JQP (Johansson et al.), onset of QP branch (?) - resonant-tunneling SET, low bias (Averin, ) 3. SQUID V(t) Can reach ideality, η = (Danilov-Likharev-Zorin, 983; Averin, ) 4. FET??

17 Quantum feedback in optics Recent experiment: Science 34, 7 (4) First detailed theory: H.M. Wiseman and G. J. Milburn, Phys. Rev. Lett. 7, 548 (993) No experimental attempts of quantum feedback in solid-state yet (even theory is still considered controversial) Experiments soon?

18 Summary on simple quantum feedback of a solid-state qubit Very straightforward, practically classical feedback idea (monitoring the phase of oscillations via quadratures) works well for the qubit coherent oscillations Price for simplicity is a less-then-ideal operation (fidelity is limited by ~95%) Feedback operation is much better than expected Relatively simple experiment (simple setup, narrow bandwidth, inefficient detectors OK, simple verification)

25 Stroboscopic QND measurements Quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements (Braginsky-Khalili book) (a way to suppress measurement backaction and overcome standard quantum limit) Idea: to avoid measuring the magnitude conjugated to the magnitude of interest Standard quantum limit Example: measurement of x(t )-x(t ) p> xt ( ) xt ( ) / x First measurement: p(t )> / x(t ), then even for accurate second measurement inaccuracy of position difference is x(t )+(t -t ) /m x(t )> (t -t ) / / m Stroboscopic QND measurements (Braginsky et al., 978; Thorne et al., 978) oscillator Difference in our case: Idea: second measurement exactly one oscillation period later is insensitive to p (or t = nt/, T=π/ω ) continuous measurement weak coupling with detector quantum feedback to suppress heating

32 Summary on QND squeezing of a nanoresonator Periodic modulation of the detector voltage modulates measurement strength and periodically squeezes the width of the nanoresonator state ( breathing mode ) Packet center oscillates and is randomly heated by measurement; quantum feedback can cool it down (keep it near zero in both position and momentum) Sine-modulation leads to a small squeezing (<.73), stroboscopic (pulse) modulation can lead to a strong squeezing (>>) even for a weak coupling with detector Still to be done: correct account of Q-factor and temperature Potential application: force measurement beyond standard quantum limit

33 Conclusions Bayesian formalism for solid-state quantum measurements is being used to produce various experimental predictions (though still not well-accepted in solid-state community) Simple, practically classical feedback using quadratures of the detector current should work well for qubit oscillations; relatively simple experiment Measurements by nonlinear (quadratic) detectors are described by the Bayesian formalism (same formulas as for linear detector), nonlinearity leads to the spectral peak at double frequency and makes easier qubit entanglement by measurement Measurement of a nanoresonator with strength modulated in time (modulating detector voltage) can produce a squeezed state; squeezed state is measurable and potentially useful No solid-state experiments yet; hopefully, reasonably soon
