Abstract

We report an experimental realization of one-way quantum computing on a two-photon four-qubit cluster state. This is accomplished by developing a two-photon cluster state source entangled both in polarization and spatial modes. With this special source, we implemented a highly efficient Grover's search algorithm and high-fidelity two-qubit quantum gates. Our experiment demonstrates that such cluster states could serve as an ideal source and a building block for rapid and precise optical quantum computation.

One-way quantum computation with two-photon multiqubit cluster states

We describe the application of four-qubit cluster states, built on the simultaneous entanglement of two photons in the degrees of freedom of polarization and linear momentum, for the realization of a complete set of basic operations of one-way quantum computation. These consist of arbitrary single-qubit rotations, either probabilistic or deterministic, and simple two-qubit gates, such as a controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate for equatorial qubits and a universal controlled-phase gate (controlled-$Z$ or CZ) gate acting on arbitrary target qubits. Other basic computation operations, such as the Grover's search and the Deutsch's algorithms, have been realized by using these states. In all the cases we obtained a high value of the operation fidelities. These results demonstrate that cluster states of two photons entangled in many degrees of freedom are good candidates for the realization of more complex quantum computation operations based on a larger number of qubits.

Four-qubit cluster states of two photons entangled in polarization and linear momentum have been used to realize a complete set of single qubit rotations and the C-NOT gate for equatorial qubits with high values of fidelity. By the computational equivalence of the two degrees of freedom our result demonstrate the suitability of two photon cluster states for rapid and efficient one-way quantum computing.

Quantum algorithms in one-way quantum computation

Giuseppe Vallone, F. De Martini, Paolo Mataloni

Cluster states are the fundamental resource for the one-way model of quantum computation. In this paper we show the realization of a two-photon four-qubit cluster state. The qubits are encoded in the polarization and the linear momentum of the particles. By using this state we realized two important quantum algorithms, namely the Grover’s search and the Deutsch’s algorithm.

2-photon multiqubit cluster states

Cluster states of two photons and four qubits, built on the double entanglement of two photons in the degrees of freedom of polarization and linear momentum, have been used in the realization of a complete set of basic operations of one-way quantum computation. Basic computation algorithms, namely, the Grover's search and the Deutsch's algorithm, have been realized by using these states. Hyperentangled states of increasing size are of paramount importance for the realization of even more complex algorithms and can be extended to a lager number of degrees of freedom of the photons. Some recent results obtained with entangled states of two photons and six qubits are presented.

Active One-Way Quantum Computation with Two-Photon Four-Qubit Cluster States

Giuseppe Vallone, Enrico Pomarico, F. De Martini +1 more

By using 2-photon 4-qubit cluster states we demonstrate deterministic one-way quantum computation in a single qubit rotation algorithm. In this operation feed-forward measurements are automatically implemented by properly choosing the measurement basis of the qubits, while Pauli error corrections are realized by using two fast driven Pockels cells. We realized also a C-NOT gate for equatorial qubits and a C-PHASE gate for a generic target qubit. Our results demonstrate that 2-photon cluster states can be used for rapid and efficient deterministic one-way quantum computing.

Two-photon four-qubit linear cluster states

High fidelity, high count rate four qubit linear cluster states have been realized by using two photons that are entangled both in polarization and linear momentum. Their properties have been investigated by evaluating the entanglement witness and carrying out a "stronger two observer all versus nothing" test of quantum nonlocality. The experimental results concerning the realization of single qubit rotations demonstrates the feasibility of one-way quantum computation by using these states.
