No / A system consisting of two Josephson qubits coupled through a quantum monochromatic electromagnetic field mode of a resonant tank circuit is studied. It is shown that for certain values of the parameters, it can be used as an entangling gate, which entangles the two qubits whilst the electromagnetic field remains disentangled. The gate operates with decent fidelity to a gate and could form the basis for initial experimental investigations of coupled superconducting qubits.

Nesta tese abordamos o problema de transferência e manipulação de informação quântica em sistemas dissipativos. Inicialmente apresentamos uma técnica para construir, dentro de redes bosônicas dissipativas, canais livres de decoerência (CLD): um grupo de modos normais de osciladores com taxas de amortecimento efetivas nulas. Verificamos que os estados protegidos dentro do CLD definem subespaços livres de decoerência (SLD) quando mapeados de volta para a base dos osciladores naturais da rede. Portanto, a nossa técnica para obter canais protegidos formados por modos normais é uma forma alternativa para construir SLD, que oferece vantagens em relação ao método convencional. Nosso protocolo permite o cálculo de todos os estados da rede protegidos de uma só vez, assim como leva naturalmente ao conceito de subespaço quase livre de decoerência (SQLD), dentro do qual um estado de superposição é quase completamente protegido. O conceito de SQLD, é mais fraco do que a dos SLD, pode proporcionar um mecanismo mais manejável para controlar decoerência. Em seguida desenvolvemos um protocolo para transferência quase perfeita de estados de poláriton de um sistema emissor para um receptor, separados espacialmente, ambos acoplados por um canal de transmissão não ideal que é modelado por uma rede de cavidades dissipativas. Esse protocolo consiste no acoplamento dispersivo entre o estado de poláriton preparado no emissor com os modos normais da rede que forma o canal, o que possibilita que o estado tunele para o receptor. Após a obtenção de um Hamiltoniano efetivo para o acoplamento entre o emissor e receptor, calculamos a fidelidade para a transferência de alguns estados de poláriton, por exemplo, estados tipo gato de Schrödinger. Mostramos que as taxas de decaimento da fidelidade são proporcionais a cooperatividade, parâmetro esse que avalia a relação entre a taxa de dissipação e o acoplamento efetivo. Analisamos a dependência da fidelidade e do tempo de transferência em relação à topologia da rede. Por fim, propomos o mecanismo de tunelamento não local para transferência de estados bosônicos e fermiônicos com alta fidelidade. Demonstramos que a incoerência decorrente das não idealidades quânticas do canal é quase totalmente contornada pelo mecanismo de tunelamento que possibilita um processo de transferência de alta fidelidade. Aplicamos esse mecanismo para transferência e processamento de informações entre múltiplos circuitos quântico (CQs) não ideais. Um conjunto de saídas é simultaneamente acoplado ao conjunto correspondente de entradas de outro QC espacialmente separado do primeiro, através de um único canal quântico não ideal. Mostramos que além da transferência de estados, podemos realizar operações logicas entre qubits distantes e gerar uma pletora de estados quânticos emaranhados. / In this thesis we address the problem of transfer and manipulation of quantum information in dissipative systems. First we present a technique to build, within a dissipative bosonic network, decoherence-free channels (DFCs): a group of normal-mode oscillators with null effective damping rates. We verify that the states protected within the DFC define the wellknown decoherence-free subspaces (DFSs) when mapped back into the natural network oscillators. Therefore, our technique to build protected normal-mode channels turns out to be an alternative way to build DFSs, which offers advantages over the conventional method. It enables the computation of all the network-protected states at once, as well as leading naturally to the concept of the decoherence quasi-free subspace (DQFS), inside which a superposition state is quasi-completely protected against decoherence. The concept of the DQFS, weaker than that of the DFS, may provide a more manageable mechanism to control decoherence. Finally, as an application of the DQFSs, we show how to build them for quasi-perfect state transfer in networks of coupled quantum dissipative oscillators. Then we present a scheme for quasi perfect transfer of polariton states from a sender to a spatially separated receiver, both composed of high-quality cavities filled by atomic samples. The sender and the receiver are connected by a nonideal transmission channel the data bus modelled by a network of lossy empty cavities. In particular, we analyze the influence of a large class of data-bus topologies on the fidelity and transfer time of the polariton state. Moreover, we also assume dispersive couplings between the polariton fields and the data-bus normal modes in order to achieve a tunneling-like state transfer. Such a tunneling-transfer mechanism, by which the excitation energy of the polariton effectively does not populate the data-bus cavities, is capable of attenuating appreciably the dissipative effects of the data-bus cavities. After deriving a Hamiltonian for the effective coupling between the sender and the receiver, we show that the decay rate of the fidelity is proportional to a cooperativity parameter that weigh the cost of the dissipation rate against the benefit of the effective coupling strength. The increase of the fidelity of the transfer process can be achieved at the expense of longer transfer times. We also show that the dependence of both the fidelity and the transfer time on the network topology for distinct regimes of parameters. It follows that the data-bus topology can be explored to control the time of the state-transfer process. Finally we propose the nonlocal tunneling mechanism for high-fidelity state transfer between distant parties. We apply this mechanism for highfidelity information transfer and processing between remote multi-branch nonideal quantum circuits (QCs). We show that in addition to the transfer of states, we can perform logic operations between distant qubits and generate a plethora of entangled quantum states.

<div>The development of novel passive techniques for vibration attenuation and control of broadband energy propagation through structural systems have been a major challenge in various complex engineering applications. These passive attenuation and control methodologies are necessary for the efficient performance of advanced lightweight aerospace and mechanical systems operating under extreme working conditions.</div><div><br></div><div>Acoustic Black Holes (ABH) have rapidly emerged as an effective approach to either dissipate or harvest mechanical energy in vibrating thin-walled structures. The characteristic dimension of an ABH, typically its diameter, is strictly connected to the occurrence of a cut-on frequency value below which the ABH is ineffective in absorbing the incoming wave. From a general perspective, lower the cut-on frequency, larger the ABH diameter needed to absorb the incoming wave. Design and manufacturing constraints of the host structure impose stringent limitations on the maximum ABH diameter and hence, limiting the lowest achievable cut-on frequency. The combination of these factors typically result in the poor energy extraction performance at low frequencies.</div><div><br></div><div>This thesis proposes the concept and explores the performance of an intentional nonlocal design for periodic grids of ABHs embedded in thin plates (referred to as ABH metastructures). The nonlocal design is conceived with the twofold objective of lowering the cut-on frequency of the ABH grids and extending the operating frequency range so as to achieve broadband performance. Different nonlocal designs are presented and their dynamic performances are investigated using numerical models. As opposed to the traditional material nonlocality, this thesis introduces nonlocal effects using an intentionally tailored geometric approach. A secondary layer is connected to the load-bearing ABH metastructure base, whose dynamic properties are sought to be controlled.</div><div><br></div><div>A semi-analytical model is also presented in order to characterize the role of nonlocality on the dispersion behavior and its effect on the broadband dynamic response. In linear elasticity, material nonlocality is mathematically represented by a spatially varying attenuation function. As the nonlocal model developed in this thesis follows geometric nonlocality approach, the required nonlocal attenuation factor is found to have a spatial as well as a temporal dependence. The analytical nonlocal constitutive relations in conjunction with the numerically obtained stress-strain parameters are used to identify the dynamic attenuation factor for the nonlocal ABH metastructure. The results provide substantial theoretical and numerical evidence of the potential of engineered nonlocal ABH design as an efficient ultra-low frequency passive attenuation technique for lightweight structures.</div>

Device-independent cryptography provides security in various tasks whilst removing an assumption that cryptographers previously thought of as crucial -- complete trust in the machinations of their experimental apparatus. The theory of Bell inequalities as a proof of indeterminism within nature allows for secure device-independent schemes requiring neither trust in the cryptographers' devices nor reliance on the completeness of quantum mechanics. However, the extreme paranoia attributable to the relaxed assumptions within device independence requires an explicit consideration of the previously assumed ability of the experimenters to freely make random choices. This thesis addresses the so-called `free will loophole', presenting Bell tests and associated cryptographic protocols robust against adversarial manipulation of the random number generators with which measurements in a Bell test are selected. We present several quantitative measures for this experimental free will, otherwise known as measurement dependence. We discuss how an eavesdropper maliciously preprogramming the experimenters' untrusted devices can falsely simulate the violation of a Bell inequality. We also bound the amount of Bell violation achievable within a certain degree of measurement dependence. This analysis extends to device-independent randomness expansion, bounding the guessing probability and estimating the amount of privacy amplification required to distil private randomness. The protocol is secure against either arbitrary no-signalling or quantum adversaries. We also consider device-independent key distribution, studying adversarial models that exploit the free will loophole. Finally, we examine a model correlated between the random number generators and Bell devices across multiple runs of a Bell test. This enables an explicit exposition of the optimal cheating strategy and how the correlations manifest themselves within this strategy. We prove that there remain Bell violations for a sufficiently high, yet non-maximal degree of measurement dependence which cannot be simulated by a classical attack, regardless of how many runs of the experiment those choices are correlated over.

A la fin des années 80, ont été introduits les cristaux photoniques et les métamatériaux, permettant de concevoir des dispositifs avec des propriétés optiques très intéressantes. La découverte de ces propriétés artificielles est considérée comme l’une des avancées les plus spectaculaires de la photonique moderne, avec des applications importantes telles que la création de matériaux à réfraction négative, ou la conception de lentilles plates parfaites. Ces structures présentent néanmoins des pertes optiques dues aux métaux qui rendent plus difficile l’obtention de lentilles super-résolues. Une nouvelle approche, basée sur l’anisotropie du métamatériau, a alors été proposée comme une alternative très intéressante pour la conception de lentilles plates à super-résolution. Parallèlement les limites du modèle de Drude pour la description de la réponse optique des métaux ont été mises en évidence expérimentalement. Ce manuscrit de thèse présente une étude théorique et numérique d’empilements de couches minces métallo-diélectriques se comportant dans certains domaines de fonctionnement comme des milieux hyperboliques. Après avoir étudié le lien existant entre la réfraction négative et les décalages géants, le manuscrit se concentre sur la conception de lentilles plates permettant d’obtenir de la super-résolution : des images offrant une meilleure résolution que celle permise par les lois de la diffraction classique. Pour répondre à ces objectifs, nous avons développé une théorie basée sur l’approximation du milieu hyperbolique (obtenue avec un empilement métallo-diélectrique) par un milieu isotrope effectif à l’aide d’un développement parabolique du vecteur d’onde de Bloch. Les outils nécessaires pour toute étude de l’influence de la non-localité intrinsèque des métaux sur les propriétés optiques des structures sont ensuite développés et appliqués aux métallo-diélectriques. / In the early 80’s, planar or periodic photonics crystals have been introduced in order to control light and to obtain entirely new optical properties. The unrivalled properties of these metamaterials are of tremendous interest for advanced photonic systems, with some important applications such as materials with negative refraction or flat lenses. However, these structures present optical losses induced by metals defects and experimental fabrication at nanometric scales that prevent them to reach the expected performances. A new approach based on describing metallo-dielectric as anisotropic materials has then been proposed as an alternative description. In parallel, the limits of the Drude model have been experimentally highligthed. In this context this manuscript presents a theoretical and numerical study of metallo-dielectric multilayers that can be considered as homogeneous media with a hyperbolic dispersion relation. We first present the link between negative refraction and large negative lateral shifts, and then focus on the design of flat lenses with subwavelength resolution : structures allowing a better resolution than the classical diffraction limit. We thus developed a theory based on the approximation of the hyperbolic medium, by a homogeneous and isotropic medium with a parabolic development of the vector of wave of Bloch. Finally, the tools required to study the influence of the intrinsic nonlocality of metals on the optical properties of multilayers are developped and the formalism is applied to metallo-dielectric lenses.

In this thesis, higher derivative theories are investigated. Ostrogradskian instability of higher derivative theories is examined both at the classical and quantum levels. It is shown that avoiding the instability in nondegenerate higher derivative theories is impossible. Moreover, the degenerate model of relativistic particle with a curvature term is studied as a viable higher derivative theory. Most of the work we present here is not original. We give a review of the literature and compile various detached works that already exist.

The device-independent (DI) framework is a novel approach to quantum information science which exploits the nonlocality of quantum physics to certify the correct functioning of a quantum information processing task without relying on any assumption on the inner workings of the devices performing the task. This thesis focuses on the device-independent certification and generation of true randomness for cryptographic applications. The existence of such true randomness relies on a fundamental relation between the random character of quantum theory and its nonlocality, which arises in the context of Bell tests. Device-independent randomness generation (DIRG) and quantum key distribution (DIQKD) protocols usually evaluate the produced randomness (as measured by the conditional min-entropy) as a function of the violation of a given Bell inequality. However, the probabilities characterising the measurement outcomes of a Bell test are richer than the degree of violation of a single Bell inequality. In this work we show that a more accurate assessment of the randomness present in nonlocal correlations can be obtained if the value of several Bell expressions is simultaneously taken into account, or if the full set of probabilities characterising the behaviour of the device is considered. As a side result, we show that to every behaviour there corresponds an optimal Bell expression allowing to certify the maximal amount of DI randomness present in the correlations. Based on these results, we introduce a family of protocols for DIRG secure against classical side information that relies on the estimation of an arbitrary number of Bell expressions, or even directly on the experimental frequencies of the measurement outcomes. The family of protocols we propose also allows for the evaluation of randomness from a subset of measurement settings, which can be advantageous when considering correlations for which some measurement settings result in more randomness than others. We provide numerical examples illustrating the advantage of this method for finite data, and show that asymptotically it results in an optimal generation of randomness from experimental data without having to assume beforehand that the devices violate a specific Bell inequality. / L'approche indépendante des appareils ("device-independent" en anglais) est une nouvelle approche en informatique quantique. Cette nouvelle approche exploite la non-localité de la physique quantique afin de certifier le bon fonctionnement d'une tâche sans faire appel à des suppositions sur les appareils menant à bien cette tâche. Cette thèse traite de la certification et la génération d'aléa indépendante des appareils pour des applications cryptographiques. L'existence de cet aléa repose sur une relation fondamentale entre le caractère aléatoire de la théorie quantique et sa non-localité, mise en lumière dans le cadre des tests de Bell. Les protocoles de génération d'aléa et de distribution quantique de clés indépendants des appareils mesurent en général l'aléa produit en fonction de la violation d'une inégalité de Bell donnée. Cependant les probabilités qui caracterisent les résultats de mesures dans un test de Bell sont plus riches que le degré de violation d'une seule inégalité de Bell. Dans ce travail nous montrons qu'une évaluation plus exacte de l'aléa présent dans les corrélations nonlocales peut être faite si l'on tient compte de plusieurs expressions de Bell à la fois ou de l'ensemble des probabilités (ou comportement) caractérisant l'appareil testé. De plus nous montrons qu'à chaque comportement correspond une expression de Bell optimale permettant de certifier la quantité maximale d'aléa présente dans ces corrélations. À partir de ces resultats, nous introduisons une famille de protocoles de génération d'aléa indépendants des appareils, sécurisés contre des adversaires classiques, et reposant sur l'évaluation de l'aléa à partir d'un nombre arbitraire d'expressions de Bell, ou même à partir des fréquences expérimentales des résultats de mesure. Les protocoles proposés permettent aussi d'évaluer l'aléa à partir d'un sous-ensemble de choix de mesure, ce qui peut être avantageux lorsque l'on considère des corrélations pour lesquelles certains choix de mesure produisent plus d'aléa que d'autres. Nous fournissons des exemples numériques illustrant l'avantage de cette méthode pour des données finies et montrons qu'asymptotiquement cette méthode résulte en un taux de génération d'aléa optimal à partir des données expérimentales, sans devoir supposer à priori que l'expérience viole une inégalité de Bell spécifique. / Doctorat en Sciences / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Nous étudions les aspects spatiaux de l’intrication, d’une part dans le cadre de la génération d’états intriqués de haute dimensionnalité par amplification paramétrique optique, et d’autre part dans le cadre des expériences dites de Hong- Ou- Mandel. La première partie de cette étude s’attache à démontrer l’existence d’un paradoxe Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) dans le comportement de la lumière de fluorescence générée par un amplificateur paramétrique optique. Le paradoxe EPR estétudié dans le contexte de sa formulation originelle, c’est-à-dire dans le domaine des positions et impulsions. La détection des photons intriqués est assurée à l’aide de caméras particulières,appelées caméras EMCCD, qui présentent la propriété de pouvoir atteindre un régime de comptage de photons. En prenant des images des faisceaux de fluorescence, nous montrons l’existence d’un paradoxe EPR de haut degré. La seconde partie de cette étude concerne les expérience sde Hong- Ou- Mandel et cherche à démontrer, par l’utilisation de simulations, la possibilité d’obtenir une coalescence complète des paires de photons sur toute l’extension spatiale de faisceaux de fluorescence paramétrique. Partant du constat du comportement non-local qui apparaît clairement au cours de cette étude, nous démontrons la possibilité d’ établir une inégalité de Bell pour ce phénomène d’interférence à deux photons. Nous montrons par ailleurs que le formalisme quantique prévoit la violation de cette inégalité de Bell par un état construit en filtrant l’ état intriqué écrit par EPR en 1935. / Spatial aspects of entanglement in parametric amplification : Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox intwin images and Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment.We study spatial aspects of entanglement, first in the context of spontaneous down converted lightexhibiting high dimensional entanglement, and in a second step through a simulated Hong-Ou-Mandel experiment. The first part of this study demonstrate an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox inits original formulation, e.g. in the context of position and momentum correlations. We detect photonsby mean of special cameras including a gain register, called EMCCD cameras, able to count photonarrival on each pixel. By taking direct images of the fluorescence beams, we demonstrate a strongdegree of EPR paradox. The second part of this study aim to demonstrate, by mean of simulations,the possibility to obtain a full field coalescence of fluorescence photons, due to the Hong-Ou-Mandeleffect. Starting from the observation that the HOM effect exhibits a nonlocal behaviour, we establisha Bell inequality on the two photons interference phenomenon itself. We then show that the original1935 EPR state is able to violate this Bell inequality

Une bonne compréhension et une bonne capacité de prédiction de la section efficace de diffusion de neutron est essentielle à un grand nombre de technologies nucléaires, parmi lesquelles les réacteurs à fission. Pour les noyaux déformés, le calcul des observables de diffusion de nucléon pour la voie élastique et les premiers états excités de basse énergie requiert l'utilisation de calcul en voies couplées. Des potentiels optique et de transition phénoménologiques locaux sont le plus couramment utilisés dans les analyses par voies couplées, mais leur précision en dehors de leur domaine d'ajustement est imprévisible. Des approches microscopiques sont en cours de développement pour augmenter les capacités prédictives et résoudre les problèmes d'extrapolation. Un potentiel obtenu microscopiquement est non local, et de récentes études ont souligné l'importance de traiter explicitement cette non localité sans passer par une procédure de localisation. Notre but dans ce travail est d'étudier dans une approche microscopique, sans paramètre ajustable, l'impact de la non localité des potentiels sur les observables de diffusion de nucléon sur noyau cible. Pour ce faire, nous étudions la diffusion de neutron avec la matrice G de Melbourne qui représente l'interaction entre le projectile et un nucléon de la cible, et nous utilisons la RPA pour décrire la structure de la cible dans le cadre de nos premières applications sur le ⁹⁰Zr. Pour pouvoir étudier aussi des noyaux déformés, nous menons notre étude dans le cadre des voies couplées. La première partie de ce document contient la dérivation, faite dans un cadre unique et cohérent, des équations couplées pour la diffusion de nucléons et des potentiels microscopiques obtenues avec la matrice G de Melbourne et une description de la cible via la RPA. La deuxième partie est dédiée à la présentation des codes que nous avons développés durant ce projet de thèse : MINOLOP pour le calcul de potentiels microscopiques à partir de la matrice G de Melbourne et d'informations de structure données sous la forme d'une densité à 1 corps, et ECANOL pour la résolution des équations en voies couplées avec des potentiels non locaux en entrée. Enfin, nous présentons nos premières applications basées sur ces deux codes : l'étude d'émission de pré-équilibre due à des excitations à 2 phonons dans le ⁹⁰Zr. / A good understanding and prediction capacity of neutron scattering cross sections is crucial to many nuclear technologies, among which all kinds of reactors based on fission process. For deformed nuclei, the computation of scattering observables for the elastic channel and the first, low-lying excited states requires coupled channel calculations. Local, phenomenological optical and macroscopic transition potentials are the most commonly used in coupled channel analyses, but their accuracy outside of their fitting range remains unpredictable. Microscopic approaches are being developed in order to improve prediction power and solve the extrapolation issue. Potentials obtained microscopically are nonlocal, and recent studies have emphasized the importance of treating explicitly this nonlocality, without using a localization procedure. Our goal in the present work is to study in a quantum framework with no adjustable parameter, the impact of the nonlocality of potentials on scattering observables of nucleon-nucleus reactions. To achieve this we study neutron scattering with the Melbourne G matrix, which represents the interaction between the projectile and one nucleon of the target, and we describe the target’s structure using the RPA for our first applications to ⁹⁰Zr. In order to be able to study also deformed nuclei, we do our study in the coupled channel framework. The first part of this paper is dedicated to the derivation in a unique, consistent scope of coupled equations for nucleon-nucleus scattering and of the potentials obtained with the Melbourne G matrix and RPA structure input. Secondly, we describe the codes which we wrote during this Ph.D. project: MINOLOP for the computation of microscopic potentials using the Melbourne G matrix and structure inputs given in terms of a 1-body density, and ECANOL for the resolution of coupled channel equations using nonlocal potentials as input. Eventually, we present our first applications using these two codes to study pre-equilibrium emissions due to 2-phonon excitations in ⁹⁰Zr.
