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

Abstract

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.

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

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

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.

Realization and characterization of a 2-photon 4-qubit linear cluster state

Giuseppe Vallone, Enrico Pomarico, Paolo Mataloni +2 more

Cluster states, recently introduced as a fundamental resource for one-way quantum computation, represent genuine multiqubits entangled states. The one-way model is based on the initial preparation of entangled qubits in the cluster state, followed by single qubits measurements and feed-forwards. All the difficulties present in the standard computation model, for instance the implementation of two qubits gates, are transferred in the one-way model to the state preparation.

Experimental Realization of One-Way Quantum Computing with Two-Photon Four-Qubit Cluster States

Kai Chen, Che‐Ming Li, Qiang Zhang +5 more

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.

Demonstration of active feedforward one-way quantum computing with photon-matter hyperentanglement

Xiao‐Fan Xu, Xiao‐Hui Bao, Jian-Wei Pan

We report an optical one-way quantum computing experiment with stationary quantum memory involved. First we create a hybrid four-qubit cluster state with two qubits propagating as photons and the other two stationary and stored in a laser-cooled atomic-ensemble quantum memory, and characterize it with entanglement witnesses and quantum state tomography. Then, by making use of this cluster state and fast operations of electro-optic modulators, we realize memory-assisted feedforward operations and demonstrate deterministic single-qubit rotation as an example.
