Abstract

Quantum computing in terms of geometric phases, i.e. Berry or Aharonov-Anandan phases, is fault-tolerant to a certain degree. We examine its implementation based on Zeeman coupling with a rotating field and isotropic Heisenberg interaction, which describe NMR and can also be realized in quantum dots and cold atoms. Using a novel physical representation of the qubit basis states, we construct π/8 and Hadamard gates based on Berry and Aharonov-Anandan phases. For two interacting qubits in a rotating field, we find that it is always impossible to construct a two-qubit gate based on Berry phases, or based on Aharonov-Anandan phases when the gyromagnetic ratios of the two qubits are equal. In implementing a universal set of quantum gates, one may combine geometric π/8 and Hadamard gates and dynamical gate.

Design of geometric phase gates and controlling the dynamic phase for a two-qubit Ising model in magnetic fields

M. Amniat-Talab, Hossein Rangani Jahromi

We investigate how to obtain a non-trivial geometric phase gate for a two-qubit spin chain, with Ising interaction in different magnetic fields. Indeed, one of the spins is driven by a time-varying rotating magnetic field, and the other is coupled with a static magnetic field in the direction of the rotation axis. This is an interesting problem both for the purpose of measuring the geometric phases and in quantum computing applications. It is shown that the static magnetic field does not change the adiabatic states of the system, and it does not affect the geometric phases, whereas it may be used to control the dynamic phases. In addition, by considering the exact two-spin adiabatic geometric phases, we find that a non-trivial two-spin unitary transformation, purely based on Berry phases, can be obtained by using two consecutive cycles with opposite directions of the magnetic fields, opposite signs of the interaction constant and the phase shift of the rotating magnetic field. In addition, in the non-adiabatic case, starting with a certain initial state, a cycle can be achieved and thus the Aharonov–Anandan phase is calculated.

Implementations of Nonadiabatic Geometric Quantum Computation using NMR

Jiangfeng Du, Mingjun Shi, Jihui Wu +2 more

Recently, geometric phases, which is fault tolerate to certain errors intrinsically due to its geometric property, are getting considerable attention in quantum computing theoretically. So far, only one experiment about adiabatic geometric gate with NMR through Berry phase has been reported. However, there are two drawbacks in it. First, the adiabatic condition of Berry phase makes such gate very slowly. Second, the extra operation to eliminate the dynamic phase. As we know, geometric phase can exist both adiabatic(Berry phase) and nonadiabatic(Aharonov-Anandan phase). In this letter, we reports the first experimental realization of nonadiabatic geometric gate with NMR through conditional-AA phase. In our experiment the gates can be made faster and more easily, and the two drawbacks mentioned above are removed.

NMR C-NOT gate through the Aharanov-Anandan phase shift

Xiang‐Bin Wang, Keiji Matsumoto

Recently, it has been proposed to perform quantum computation through the Berry phase (adiabatic cyclic geometric phase) shift with NMR. This geometric quantum gate will hopefully be fault tolerant to certain types of error because of the geometric property of the Berry phase. Here we give a scheme to realize the NMR C-NOT gate through the Aharonov-Anandan phase (non-adiabatic cyclic phase) shift on the dynamic phase free evolution loop. In our scheme, the gate is run non-adiabatically, thus it is less affected by the decoherence. Moreover, in the scheme we have chosen the zero dynamic phase time evolution loop in obtaining the geometric phase shift; we need not perform any extra operation to cancel the dynamic phase.

Geometry of Grover Search : A Comparison between Geometric and Holonomic Quantum Computation

Rasmus Wallentin

Geometric quantum phases enable the construction geometric quantum gates, whose action only depend on the evolution path in state space. Geometric gates may offer increased robustness to control parameter noise. In this report, the conditions under which non-adiabatic geometric and holonomic quantum gates preserve their geometric character under sequential composition are analysed. Grover’s search algorithm requiring non-commuting operations is used as a representative example. The basic concepts of qubits, quantum gates and quantum circuits are explained. The concept of geometric phases is introduced and derivations of Abelian and non-Abelian non-adiabatic geometric phases are provided (Aharonov-Anandan and Anandan phase respectively). Construction of geometric and holonomic universal quantum gate sets with the aforementioned geometric phases are briefly described.Explicit calculation of two non-commuting Abelian and non-adiabatic geometric time evolutions show that the successively combined operation is not geometric. A proof of successive combinations of non-Abelian and non-adiabatic geometric time evolutions preserving their non-adiabatic Abelian and geometric properties is given. The report concludes that it is in general not possible to perform quantum circuits completely geometrically with a geometric universal quantum gate set. However, performing quantum computations with gates from a holonomic universal gate set is geometric and holonomic throughout the computation.

Effect of noise on geometric logic gates for quantum computation

Alexandre Blais, A.–M. S. Tremblay

We introduce the nonadiabatic, or Aharonov-Anandan, geometric phase as a tool for quantum computation and show how this phase on one qubit can be monitored by a second qubit without any dynamical contribution. We also discuss how this geometric phase could be implemented with superconducting charge qubits. While the nonadiabatic geometric phase may circumvent many of the drawbacks related to the adiabatic (Berry) version of geometric gates, we show that the effect of fluctuations of the control parameters on nonadiabatic phase gates is more severe than for the standard dynamic gates. Similarly, fluctuations also affect to a greater extent quantum gates that use the Berry phase instead of the dynamic phase.

A note on the non-adiabatic geometric phase and quantum computation

Alexandre Blais, A.–M. S. Tremblay

We consider the non-adiabatic, or Aharonov-Anandan, geometric phase as a tool for intrinsically fault-tolerant quantum computation. While this phase seems to answer many of the issues related to the adiabatic version of the geometric gate, we show that it is not straightforward to implement and that it is sensitive to small errors.
