An apparatus for facilitating electromagnetic wave resonator tuning is disclosed, including first, second, and third spaced apart resonator portions, the second portion disposed between the first and third to form an electromagnetic wave resonator having a resonant frequency, wherein the first and second portions define a first volume therebetween and the second and third define a second volume therebetween, a first actuator coupled to the first portion, the second, or both, the first actuator configured to adjust a width of the first volume, and a second actuator coupled to the second portion, the third, or both, the second actuator configured to adjust a width of the second volume, wherein the actuators are configured to decrease the widths of the first and second volumes or increase the widths of the first and second volumes to adjust the resonant frequency of the resonator. Other apparatuses, methods, and systems are also disclosed.

Electromagnetic wave resonator tuning

A system and method are provided to enable non-quantum experts to schematically represent, simulate and quantify the performance of physically realistic photonic quantum circuits. The framework offers the flexibility for users&#x2014;not necessarily familiar with the fundamentals of quantum mechanics&#x2014;to create circuits and work with simple inputs and outputs, while the complexities of manipulating high dimensionality quantum Hilbert spaces supporting photonic and physical quantum object states are handled with the use of purpose-built tools. The tools include a user-friendly method for defining classical photonic circuits which may be coupled to physical objects such as qubits, quantum input states, as well as classical and quantum measurement devices. The tools feature classical-to-quantum S-matrix conversion, quantum S-matrix extraction, as well as capabilities for defining and extracting quantum error parameters. The framework also supports extraction of post-measurement quantum states for use in subsequent circuits or simulators.
