Applied 21, 034013 (2024) – Published 8 March 2024 Recurrent neural networks based on silicon photonics can take on a wide range of dynamical features at high bandwidth, but experimental demonstrations are being held back by of the lack of a physical-level simulation platform that accounts for parasitic effects.

This study introduces an innovative hardware approach, utilizing the intrinsic balance of phase noise in a spintronic nano-oscillator synchronized at twice its natural frequency to overcome bias in random bitstream generation at room temperature.

Here the authors study the dynamics of an analog, two-spin Ising computer built from superparamagnetic tunnel junctions (SMTJs). The op-amp-based circuit features polarity selection and programmable gain, allowing both positive and negative coupling and the performance of simulated annealing. While scaling of this design requires only trivial circuit modifications, large networks of spins would require SMTJs with enhanced properties, suggesting that a co-design approach between devices, architectures, and algorithms is necessary.

Rev. Applied 21, L031001 (2024) – Published 1 March 2024 While spin transport plays an important role in fundamental physics as well as spintronics applications, the spin-flip tunneling process associated with magnon transport remains elusive in ultracold Fermi gases. This study propose a method for detecting spin-flip tunneling via the Fano factor, which is defined as the noise-to-current ratio and is proportional to the effective charge of carriers. The authors show that the tunneling channel can be altered by tuning either the interaction strength or the potential barrier. This result could strongly impact the study of spin-transport phenomena, and our understanding of quantum transport in strongly interacting systems.

However, broadband and efficient homodyne detectors must first be found, to efficiently utilize this potential. Departing from the common wisdom that homodyning requires balanced detection, the authors simultaneously measure 18 teeth of an 11-dB squeezing frequency comb on an unbalanced photodetector, over a multigigahertz bandwidth. This approach demonstrates that it is worth questioning the necessity of balanced homodyne detection in high-speed quantum optics.
