Coherent quantum microwave transmission is key to realizing modular superconducting quantum computers and distributed quantum networks. However, a large number of incoherent photons are thermally generated in the microwave frequency spectrum. Hence, coherent transmission of microwave fields has long been believed to be infeasible without refrigeration. In this work, we propose a novel method for coherent microwave transmission using a typical microwave waveguide at room temperature. The proposed scheme considers two cryogenic nodes (i.e., a transmitter and a receiver) connected by a room-temperature microwave waveguide. At the receiver side, we implement a cryogenic loop antenna coupled to an LC harmonic oscillator inside the output port of the waveguide, while the LC harmonic oscillator is located outside the waveguide. The loop antenna converts the quantum microwave fields (which contain both signal and thermal noise photons) to a quantum voltage across the coupled LC harmonic oscillator. We show that by properly designing the loop antenna, the number of detected noise photons can be significantly less than one. Simultaneously, the detected signal photons can be maintained at a sufficient number greater than one by transmitting a proper number of photons at the input port of the waveguide. For example, we show that for a 10 GHz microwave signal, when using a room-temperature transmission waveguide of 5m length, 35 coherent photons are detected across the LC circuit by transmitting 32x10^4 signal photons at the input port of the waveguide. Interestingly, the number of detected noise photons is maintained as small as 6.3x10^-3. The microwave transmission scheme proposed in this work paves the way towards realizing practical modular quantum computers with a simple architecture.

We use nominally forbidden electron-nuclear spin transitions in nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to demonstrate coherent manipulation of a nuclear spin ensemble using microwave fields at room temperature. We show that employing an off-axis ma
gnetic field with a modest amplitude($approx$ 0.01 T) at an angle with respect to the NV natural quantization axes is enough to tilt the direction of the electronic spins, and enable efficient spin exchange with the nitrogen nuclei of the NV center. We could then demonstrate fast Rabi oscillations on electron-nuclear spin exchanging transitions, coherent population trapping and polarization of nuclear spin ensembles in the microwave regime. Coupling many electronic spins of NV centers to their intrinsic nuclei offers full scalability with respect to the number of controllable spins and provides prospects for transduction. In particular, the technique could be applied to long-lived storage of microwave photons and to the coupling of nuclear spins to mechanical oscillators in the resolved sideband regime.
Quantum control of a system requires the manipulation of quantum states faster than any decoherence rate. For mesoscopic systems, this has so far only been reached by few cryogenic systems. An important milestone towards quantum control is the so-cal
led strong coupling regime, which in cavity optomechanics corresponds to an optomechanical coupling strength larger than cavity decay rate and mechanical damping. Here, we demonstrate the strong coupling regime at room temperature between a levitated silica particle and a high finesse optical cavity. Normal mode splitting is achieved by employing coherent scattering, instead of directly driving the cavity. The coupling strength achieved here approaches three times the cavity linewidth, crossing deep into the strong coupling regime. Entering the strong coupling regime is an essential step towards quantum control with mesoscopic objects at room temperature.
We demonstrate trapping of electrons in a millimeter-sized quadrupole Paul trap driven at 1.6~GHz in a room-temperature ultra-high vacuum setup. Cold electrons are introduced into the trap by ionization of atomic calcium via Rydberg states and stay c
onfined by microwave and static electric fields for several tens of milliseconds. A fraction of these electrons remain trapped longer and show no measurable loss for measurement times up to a second. Electronic excitation of the motion reveals secular frequencies which can be tuned over a range of several tens to hundreds of MHz. Operating a similar electron Paul trap in a cryogenic environment may provide a platform for all-electric quantum computing with trapped electron spin qubits.
Coherent coupling between single quantum objects is at the heart of modern quantum physics. When coupling is strong enough to prevail over decoherence, it can be used for the engineering of correlated quantum states. Especially for solid-state system
s, control of quantum correlations has attracted widespread attention because of applications in quantum computing. Such coherent coupling has been demonstrated in a variety of systems at low temperature1, 2. Of all quantum systems, spins are potentially the most important, because they offer very long phase memories, sometimes even at room temperature. Although precise control of spins is well established in conventional magnetic resonance3, 4, existing techniques usually do not allow the readout of single spins because of limited sensitivity. In this paper, we explore dipolar magnetic coupling between two single defects in diamond (nitrogen-vacancy and nitrogen) using optical readout of the single nitrogen-vacancy spin states. Long phase memory combined with a defect separation of a few lattice spacings allow us to explore the strong magnetic coupling regime. As the two-defect system was well-isolated from other defects, the long phase memory times of the single spins was not diminished, despite the fact that dipolar interactions are usually seen as undesirable sources of decoherence. A coherent superposition of spin pair quantum states was achieved. The dipolar coupling was used to transfer spin polarisation from a nitrogen-vacancy centre spin to a nitrogen spin, with optical pumping of a nitrogen-vacancy centre leading to efficient initialisation. At the level anticrossing efficient nuclear spin polarisation was achieved. Our results demonstrate an important step towards controlled spin coupling and multi-particle entanglement in the solid state.
We formulate a mixed-state analog of the NLTS conjecture [FH14] by asking whether there exist topologically-ordered systems for which the thermal Gibbs state for constant temperature is globally-entangled in the sense that it cannot even be approxima
ted by shallow quantum circuits. We then prove this conjecture holds for nearly optimal parameters: when the inverse temperature is almost a constant (temperature decays as 1/loglog(n))) and the Hamiltonian is nearly local (log(n)-local). The construction and proof combine quantum codes that arise from high-dimensional manifolds [Has17, LLZ19], the local-decoding approach to quantum codes [LTZ15, FGL18] and quantum locally-testable codes [AE15].
