Demonstration of long-range correlations via susceptibility measurements in a one-dimensional superconducting Josephson spin chain

Abstract Spin chains have long been considered an effective medium for long-range interactions, entanglement generation, and quantum state transfer. In this work, we explore the properties of a spin chain implemented with superconducting flux circuits, designed to act as a connectivity medium between two superconducting qubits. The susceptibility of the chain is probed and shown to support long-range, cross-chain correlations. In addition, interactions between the two end qubits, mediated by the coupler chain, are demonstrated. This work has direct applicability in near term quantum annealing processors as a means of generating long-range, coherent coupling between qubits.

Search for C P Violation in B 0 - B ¯ 0 Mixing Using Partial Reconstruction of B 0 → D * - X ℓ + ν ℓ and a Kaon Tag

We present results of a search for CP violation in B 0 -B¯ 0 mixing with the BABAR detector. We select a sample of B 0 →D* - Xℓ+ν decays with a partial reconstruction method and use kaon tagging to assess the flavor of the other B meson in the event. We determine the CP violating asymmetry ACP≡[N(B 0 B 0 )-N(B¯ 0 B¯ 0 )]/[N(B 0 B 0 )+N(B¯ 0 B¯ 0 )]=(0.06±0.17+0.38-0.32)%, corresponding to ΔCP=1-|q/p|=(0.29±0.84 +1.88 -1.61 )×10 -3 .
