• Engineering a Kerr-Based Deterministic Cubic Phase Gate via Gaussian Operations. Physical review letters Yanagimoto, R., Onodera, T., Ng, E., Wright, L. G., McMahon, P. L., Mabuchi, H. 2020; 124 (24): 240503

  Abstract

  We propose a deterministic, measurement-free implementation of a cubic phase gate for continuous-variable quantum information processing. In our scheme, the applications of displacement and squeezing operations allow us to engineer the effective evolution of the quantum state propagating through an optical Kerr nonlinearity. Under appropriate conditions, we show that the input state evolves according to a cubic phase Hamiltonian, and we find that the cubic phase gate error decreases inverse quartically with the amount of quadrature squeezing, even in the presence of linear loss. We also show how our scheme can be adapted to deterministically generate a nonclassical approximate cubic phase state with high fidelity using a ratio of native nonlinearity to linear loss of only 10^{-4}, indicating that our approach may be experimentally viable in the near term even on all-optical platforms, e.g., using quantum solitons in pulsed nonlinear nanophotonics.

M., Mabuchi, H., Englund, D., Rieffel, E., Takesue, H., Yamamoto, Y. 2019; 5 (5): eaau0823

  Abstract

  Physical annealing systems provide heuristic approaches to solving combinatorial optimization problems. Here, we benchmark two types of annealing machines-a quantum annealer built by D-Wave Systems and measurement-feedback coherent Ising machines (CIMs) based on optical parametric oscillators-on two problem classes, the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (SK) model and MAX-CUT. The D-Wave quantum annealer outperforms the CIMs on MAX-CUT on cubic graphs. On denser problems, however, we observe an exponential penalty for the quantum annealer [exp(-alphaDW N 2)] relative to CIMs [exp(-alphaCIM N)] for fixed anneal times, both on the SK model and on 50% edge density MAX-CUT. This leads to a several orders of magnitude time-to-solution difference for instances with over 50 vertices. An optimal-annealing time analysis is also consistent with a substantial projected performance difference. The difference in performance between the sparsely connected D-Wave machine and the fully-connected CIMs provides strong experimental support for efforts to increase the connectivity of quantum annealers.

• Measurement of Mesoscale Conformational Dynamics of Freely Diffusing Molecules with Tracking FCS BIOPHYSICAL JOURNAL Limouse, C., Bell, J. C., Fuller, C. J., Straight, A. F., Mabuchi, H. 2018; 114 (7): 1539–50

  Abstract

  Few techniques are suited to probe the structure and dynamics of molecular complexes at the mesoscale level (∼100-1000 nm). We have developed a single-molecule technique that uses tracking fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (tFCS) to probe the conformation and dynamics of mesoscale molecular assemblies. tFCS measures the distance fluctuations between two fluorescently labeled sites within an untethered, freely diffusing biomolecule. To achieve subdiffraction spatial resolution, we developed a feedback scheme that allows us to maintain the molecule at an optimal position within the laser intensity gradient for fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. We characterized tFCS spatial sensitivity by measuring the Brownian end-to-end dynamics of DNA molecules as short as 1000 bp. We demonstrate that tFCS detects changes in the compaction of reconstituted nucleosome arrays and can assay transient protein-mediated interactions between distant sites in an individual DNA molecule. Our measurements highlight the applicability of tFCS to a wide variety of biochemical processes involving mesoscale conformational dynamics.

Journal of the American Chemical Society Bonilla, S., Limouse, C., Bisaria, N., Gebala, M., Mabuchi, H., Herschlag, D. 2017; 139 (51): 18576-18589

  Abstract

  Decades of study of the RNA folding problem have revealed that diverse and complex structured RNAs are built from a common set of recurring structural motifs, leading to the perspective that a generalizable model of RNA folding may be developed from understanding of the folding properties of individual structural motifs. We used single-molecule fluorescence to dissect the kinetic and thermodynamic properties of a set of variants of a common tertiary structural motif, the tetraloop/tetraloop-receptor (TL/TLR). Our results revealed a multistep TL/TLR folding pathway in which preorganization of the ubiquitous AA-platform submotif precedes the formation of the docking transition state and tertiary A-minor hydrogen bond interactions form after the docking transition state. Differences in ion dependences between TL/TLR variants indicated the occurrence of sequence-dependent conformational rearrangements prior to and after the formation of the docking transition state. Nevertheless, varying the junction connecting the TL/TLR produced a common kinetic and ionic effect for all variants, suggesting that the global conformational search and compaction electrostatics are energetically independent from the formation of the tertiary motif contacts. We also found that in vitro-selected variants, despite their similar stability at high Mg2+ concentrations, are considerably less stable than natural variants under near-physiological ionic conditions, and the occurrence of the TL/TLR sequence variants in Nature correlates with their thermodynamic stability in isolation. Overall, our findings are consistent with modular but complex energetic properties of RNA structural motifs and will aid in the eventual quantitative description of RNA folding from its secondary and tertiary structural elements.

  Abstract

  Decades of study of the architecture and function of structured RNAs have led to the perspective that RNA tertiary structure is modular, made of locally stable domains that retain their structure across RNAs. We formalize a hypothesis inspired by this modularity-that RNA folding thermodynamics and kinetics can be quantitatively predicted from separable energetic contributions of the individual components of a complex RNA. This reconstitution hypothesis considers RNA tertiary folding in terms of ΔGalign, the probability of aligning tertiary contact partners, and ΔGtert, the favorable energetic contribution from the formation of tertiary contacts in an aligned state. This hypothesis predicts that changes in the alignment of tertiary contacts from different connecting helices and junctions (ΔGHJH) or from changes in the electrostatic environment (ΔG+/-) will not affect the energetic perturbation from a mutation in a tertiary contact (ΔΔGtert). Consistent with these predictions, single-molecule FRET measurements of folding of model RNAs revealed constant ΔΔGtert values for mutations in a tertiary contact embedded in different structural contexts and under different electrostatic conditions. The kinetic effects of these mutations provide further support for modular behavior of RNA elements and suggest that tertiary mutations may be used to identify rate-limiting steps and dissect folding and assembly pathways for complex RNAs. Overall, our model and results are foundational for a predictive understanding of RNA folding that will allow manipulation of RNA folding thermodynamics and kinetics. Conversely, the approaches herein can identify cases where an independent, additive model cannot be applied and so require additional investigation.

  Unconventional, special-purpose machines may aid in accelerating the solution of some of the hardest problems in computing, such as large-scale combinatorial optimizations, by exploiting different operating mechanisms than those of standard digital computers. We present a scalable optical processor with electronic feedback that can be realized at large scale with room-temperature technology. Our prototype machine is able to find exact solutions of, or sample good approximate solutions to, a variety of hard instances of Ising problems with up to 100 spins and 10,000 spin-spin connections.

• Kinetic and thermodynamic framework for P4-P6 RNA reveals tertiary motif modularity and modulation of the folding preferred pathway. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America Bisaria, N., Greenfeld, M., Limouse, C., Pavlichin, D. S., Mabuchi, H., Herschlag, D. 2016; 113 (34): E4956-65

  Abstract

  The past decade has seen a wealth of 3D structural information about complex structured RNAs and identification of functional intermediates. Nevertheless, developing a complete and predictive understanding of the folding and function of these RNAs in biology will require connection of individual rate and equilibrium constants to structural changes that occur in individual folding steps and further relating these steps to the properties and behavior of isolated, simplified systems. To accomplish these goals we used the considerable structural knowledge of the folded, unfolded, and intermediate states of P4-P6 RNA. We enumerated structural states and possible folding transitions and determined rate and equilibrium constants for the transitions between these states using single-molecule FRET with a series of mutant P4-P6 variants. Comparisons with simplified constructs containing an isolated tertiary contact suggest that a given tertiary interaction has a stereotyped rate for breaking that may help identify structural transitions within complex RNAs and simplify the prediction of folding kinetics and thermodynamics for structured RNAs from their parts. The preferred folding pathway involves initial formation of the proximal tertiary contact. However, this preference was only ∼10 fold and could be reversed by a single point mutation, indicating that a model akin to a protein-folding contact order model will not suffice to describe RNA folding. Instead, our results suggest a strong analogy with a modified RNA diffusion-collision model in which tertiary elements within preformed secondary structures collide, with the success of these collisions dependent on whether the tertiary elements are in their rare binding-competent conformations.

• Single-molecule dataset (SMD): a generalized storage format for raw and processed single-molecule data. BMC bioinformatics Greenfeld, M., van de Meent, J., Pavlichin, D. S., Mabuchi, H., Wiggins, C. H., Gonzalez, R. L., Herschlag, D. 2015; 16: 3-?

  Abstract

  Single-molecule techniques have emerged as incisive approaches for addressing a wide range of questions arising in contemporary biological research [Trends Biochem Sci 38:30-37, 2013; Nat Rev Genet 14:9-22, 2013; Curr Opin Struct Biol 2014, 28C:112-121; Annu Rev Biophys 43:19-39, 2014]. The analysis and interpretation of raw single-molecule data benefits greatly from the ongoing development of sophisticated statistical analysis tools that enable accurate inference at the low signal-to-noise ratios frequently associated with these measurements. While a number of groups have released analysis toolkits as open source software [J Phys Chem B 114:5386-5403, 2010; Biophys J 79:1915-1927, 2000; Biophys J 91:1941-1951, 2006; Biophys J 79:1928-1944, 2000; Biophys J 86:4015-4029, 2004; Biophys J 97:3196-3205, 2009; PLoS One 7:e30024, 2012; BMC Bioinformatics 288 11(8):S2, 2010; Biophys J 106:1327-1337, 2014; Proc Int Conf Mach Learn 28:361-369, 2013], it remains difficult to compare analysis for experiments performed in different labs due to a lack of standardization.Here we propose a standardized single-molecule dataset (SMD) file format. SMD is designed to accommodate a wide variety of computer programming languages, single-molecule techniques, and analysis strategies. To facilitate adoption of this format we have made two existing data analysis packages that are used for single-molecule analysis compatible with this format.Adoption of a common, standard data file format for sharing raw single-molecule data and analysis outcomes is a critical step for the emerging and powerful single-molecule field, which will benefit both sophisticated users and non-specialists by allowing standardized, transparent, and reproducible analysis practices.

• Protein flexibility is required for vesicle tethering at the Golgi. eLife Cheung, P. P., Limouse, C., Mabuchi, H., Pfeffer, S. R. 2015; 4

  Abstract

  The Golgi is decorated with coiled-coil proteins that may extend long distances to help vesicles find their targets. GCC185 is a trans Golgi-associated protein that captures vesicles inbound from late endosomes. Although predicted to be relatively rigid and highly extended, we show that flexibility in a central region is required for GCC185's ability to function in a vesicle tethering cycle. Proximity ligation experiments show that that GCC185's N-and C-termini are within.

• Femtojoule-Scale All-Optical Latching and Modulation via Cavity Nonlinear Optics PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Kwon, Y., Armen, M. A., Mabuchi, H. 2013; 111 (20)

  Abstract

  We experimentally characterize Hopf bifurcation phenomena at femtojoule energy scales in a multiatom cavity quantum electrodynamical (cavity QED) system and demonstrate how such behaviors can be exploited in the design of all-optical memory and modulation devices. The data are analyzed by using a semiclassical model that explicitly treats heterogeneous coupling of atoms to the cavity mode. Our results highlight the interest of cavity QED systems for ultralow power photonic signal processing as well as for fundamental studies of mesoscopic nonlinear dynamics.

• Squeezed light in an optical parametric oscillator network with coherent feedback quantum control OPTICS EXPRESS Crisafulli, O., Tezak, N., Soh, D. B., Armen, M. A., Mabuchi, H. 2013; 21 (15): 18371-18386

  Abstract

  We present squeezing and anti-squeezing spectra of the output from a degenerate optical parametric oscillator (OPO) network arranged in different coherent quantum feedback configurations. One OPO serves as a quantum plant, the other as a quantum controller. The addition of coherent feedback enables shaping of the output squeezing spectrum of the plant, and is found to be capable of pushing the frequency of maximum squeezing away from the optical driving frequency and broadening the spectrum over a wider frequency band. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with the developed theory, and illustrate the use of coherent quantum feedback to engineer the quantum-optical properties of the plant OPO output.

  Abstract

  Following the simple observation that the interconnection of a set of quantum optical input-output devices can be specified using structural mode VHSIC hardware description language, we demonstrate a computer-aided schematic capture workflow for modelling and simulating multi-component photonic circuits. We describe an algorithm for parsing circuit descriptions to derive quantum equations of motion, illustrate our approach using simple examples based on linear and cavity-nonlinear optical components, and demonstrate a computational approach to hierarchical model reduction.

• Advantages of Coherent Feedback for Cooling Quantum Oscillators PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Hamerly, R., Mabuchi, H. 2012; 109 (17)

  Abstract

  We model the cooling of open optical and optomechanical resonators via optical feedback in the linear quadratic Gaussian setting of stochastic control theory. We show that coherent feedback control schemes, in which the resonator is embedded in an interferometer to achieve all-optical feedback, can outperform the best possible linear quadratic Gaussian measurement-based schemes in the quantum regime of low steady-state excitation number. Such performance gains are attributed to the coherent controller's ability to process noncommuting output field quadratures simultaneously without loss of fidelity, and may provide important clues for the design of coherent feedback schemes for more general problems of nonlinear and robust control.

• Single Molecule Analysis Research Tool (SMART): An Integrated Approach for Analyzing Single Molecule Data PLOS ONE Greenfeld, M., Pavlichin, D. S., Mabuchi, H., Herschlag, D. 2012; 7 (2)

  Abstract

  Single molecule studies have expanded rapidly over the past decade and have the ability to provide an unprecedented level of understanding of biological systems. A common challenge upon introduction of novel, data-rich approaches is the management, processing, and analysis of the complex data sets that are generated. We provide a standardized approach for analyzing these data in the freely available software package SMART: Single Molecule Analysis Research Tool. SMART provides a format for organizing and easily accessing single molecule data, a general hidden Markov modeling algorithm for fitting an array of possible models specified by the user, a standardized data structure and graphical user interfaces to streamline the analysis and visualization of data. This approach guides experimental design, facilitating acquisition of the maximal information from single molecule experiments. SMART also provides a standardized format to allow dissemination of single molecule data and transparency in the analysis of reported data.

• Remnants of semiclassical bistability in the few-photon regime of cavity QED OPTICS EXPRESS Kerckhoff, J., Armen, M. A., Mabuchi, H. 2011; 19 (24): 24468-24482

  Abstract

  Broadband homodyne detection of the light transmitted by a Fabry-Perot cavity containing a strongly-coupled (133)Cs atom is used to probe the dynamic optical response in a regime where semiclassical theory predicts bistability but strong quantum corrections should apply. While quantum fluctuations destabilize true equilibrium bistability, our observations confirm the existence of metastable states with finite lifetimes and a hysteretic response is apparent when the optical drive is modulated on comparable timescales. Our experiment elucidates remnant semiclassical behavior in the attojoule (~10 photon) regime of single-atom cavity QED, of potential significance for ultra-low power photonic signal processing.

  Abstract

  We use a single 133Cs atom strongly coupled to an optical resonator to induce random binary phase modulation of a near infra-red, ∼ 500 pW laser beam, with each modulation edge caused by the dissipation of a single photon (≈ 0.23 aJ) by the atom. While our ability to deterministically induce phase edges with an additional optical control beam is limited thus far, theoretical analysis of an analogous, solid-state system indicates that efficient external control should be achievable in demonstrated nanophotonic systems.

• Designing Quantum Memories with Embedded Control: Photonic Circuits for Autonomous Quantum Error Correction PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Kerckhoff, J., Nurdin, H. I., Pavlichin, D. S., Mabuchi, H. 2010; 105 (4)

  Abstract

  We propose an approach to quantum error correction based on coding and continuous syndrome readout via scattering of coherent probe fields, in which the usual steps of measurement and discrete restoration are replaced by direct physical processing of the probe beams and coherent feedback to the register qubits. Our approach is well matched to physical implementations that feature solid-state qubits embedded in planar electromagnetic circuits, providing an autonomous and "on-chip" quantum memory design requiring no external clocking or control logic.

• Intramolecular Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy in a Feedback Tracking Microscope BIOPHYSICAL JOURNAL McHale, K., Mabuchi, H. 2010; 99 (1): 313-322

  Abstract

  We derive the statistics of the signals generated by shape fluctuations of large molecules studied by feedback tracking microscopy. We account for the influence of intramolecular dynamics on the response of the tracking system and derive a general expression for the fluorescence autocorrelation function that applies when those dynamics are linear. We show that in comparison to traditional fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, tracking provides enhanced sensitivity to translational diffusion, molecular size, heterogeneity, and long-timescale decays. We demonstrate our approach using a three-dimensional tracking microscope to study genomic lambda-phage DNA molecules with various fluorescence label configurations.

• Precise Characterization of the Conformation Fluctuations of Freely Diffusing DNA: Beyond Rouse and Zimm JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY McHale, K., Mabuchi, H. 2009; 131 (49): 17901-17907

  Abstract

  We studied the dynamics of single freely diffusing fluorescence-labeled double-stranded lambda-phage DNA molecules using dual-color 3-dimensional feedback tracking microscopy and intramolecular fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Our technique is independently sensitive to the molecule's diffusion coefficient D and radius of gyration R(g) and is concentration insensitive, providing greater precision for characterizing the molecule's intramolecular motion than other methods. We measured D = 0.80 +/- 0.05 microm(2)/s and R(g) approximately 420 nm, consistent with the Kirkwood-Riseman prediction for a flexible polymer with strong hydrodynamic interactions (HI), but we find the statistics of intramolecular motion inconsistent with the Zimm model for such a polymer. We address a dispute in the experimental literature, finding that previous measurements on double-stranded DNA likely lacked the sensitivity to distinguish between the Zimm model and the HI-free Rouse model. Finally, we observe fluorescence fluctuations with a correlation time of over 2 s that cannot be explained by either model and propose that they may be signatures of excluded volume interactions.

• Spontaneous Dressed-State Polarization in the Strong Driving Regime of Cavity QED PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Armen, M. A., Miller, A. E., Mabuchi, H. 2009; 103 (17)

  Abstract

  We utilize high-bandwidth phase-quadrature homodyne measurement of the light transmitted through a Fabry-Perot cavity, driven strongly and on resonance, to detect excess phase noise induced by a single intracavity atom. We analyze the correlation properties and driving-strength dependence of the atom-induced phase noise to establish that it corresponds to the long-predicted phenomenon of spontaneous dressed-state polarization. Our experiment thus provides a demonstration of cavity quantum electrodynamics in the strong-driving regime in which one atom interacts strongly with a many-photon cavity field to produce novel quantum stochastic behavior.

  Abstract

  We present an instrument for performing correlation spectroscopy on single fluorescent particles while tracking their Brownian motion in three dimensions using real-time feedback. By tracking CdSe/ZnS quantum dots in water (diffusion coefficient approximately 20 microm2/s), we make the first measurements of photon antibunching (at approximately 10 ns) on single fluorophores free in solution and find fluorescence lifetime heterogeneity within a quantum dot sample. In addition, we show that 2-mercaptoethanol suppresses short time-scale intermittency (1 ms to 1 s) in quantum dot fluorescence by reducing time spent in the off-state.

• Tracking-FCS: Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy of individual particles OPTICS EXPRESS Berglund, A. J., Mabuchi, H. 2005; 13 (20): 8069-8082

  Abstract

  We exploit recent advances in single-particle tracking to perform fluorescence correlation spectroscopy on individual fluorescent particles, in contrast to traditional methods that build up statistics over a sequence of many measurements. By rapidly scanning the focus of an excitation laser in a circular pattern, demodulating the measured fluorescence, and feeding these results back to a piezoelectric translation stage, we track the Brownian motion of fluorescent polymer microspheres in aqueous solution in the plane transverse to the laser axis. We discuss the estimation of particle diffusion statistics from closed-loop position measurements, and we present a generalized theory of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy for the case that the motion of a single fluorescent particle is actively tracked by a time-dependent laser intensity. We model the motion of a tracked particle using Ornstein-Uhlenbeck statistics, using a general theory that contains a umber of existing results as specific cases. We find good agreement between our theory and experimental results, and discuss possible future applications of these techniques to passive, single-shot, single-molecule fluorescence measurements with many orders of magnitude in time resolution.

  Abstract

  In this article we describe a recursive Bayesian estimator for the identification of diffusing fluorophores using photon arrival-time data from a single spectral channel. We present derivations for all relevant diffusion and fluorescence models, and we use simulated diffusion trajectories and photon streams to evaluate the estimator's performance. We consider simplified estimation schemes that bin the photon counts within time intervals of fixed duration, and show that they can perform well in realistic parameter regimes. The latter results indicate the feasibility of performing identification experiments in real time. It will be straightforward to generalize our approach for use in more complicated scenarios, e.g., with multiple spectral channels or fast photophysical dynamics.

  Abstract

  Modern cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity QED) illuminates the most fundamental aspects of coherence and decoherence in quantum mechanics. Experiments on atoms in cavities can be described by elementary models but reveal intriguing subtleties of the interplay of coherent dynamics with external couplings. Recent activity in this area has pioneered powerful new approaches to the study of quantum coherence and has fueled the growth of quantum information science. In years to come, the purview of cavity QED will continue to grow as researchers build on a rich infrastructure to attack some of the most pressing open questions in micro- and mesoscopic physics.

  Abstract

  We present an experimental demonstration of the power of feedback in quantum metrology, confirming the predicted [H. M. Wiseman, Phys. Rev. Lett. 75, 4587 (1995)]] superior performance of an adaptive homodyne technique for single-shot measurement of optical phase. For measurements performed on weak coherent states with no prior knowledge of the signal phase, adaptive homodyne estimation approaches closer to the intrinsic quantum uncertainty than any previous technique. Our results underscore the importance of real-time feedback for reaching quantum limits in measurement and control.
