In this paper, we propose a method for building a two-qubit gate with the Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM). In our scheme, we construct a qubit from a pair of optical paths where a photon is running. Generating Knill, Laflamme and Milburn's nonlinear sign-shift gate by the JCM, we construct the conditional sign-flip gate, which works with small error probability in principle. We also discuss two experimental setups for realizing our scheme. In the first experimental setup, we make use of coherent lights to examine whether or not our scheme works. In the second experimental setup, an optical loop circuit made out of the polarizing beam splitter and the Pockels cell takes an important role in the cavity.

The first section of the work investigates light modes as a means of implementing optical qubits and qudits. The modes considered are polarization mode, path mode, transverse spatial mode, frequency mode, temporal bin-mode and temporal mode. Subsequently, mathematical model of linear optical elements like beam splitters (BS) and phase shifters are deduced and their capability of representing any single qubit optical gate is exposed. Finally Knill, Laflamme and Milburn (KLM) method of using linear optical elements to promote nonlinear operations based on nonlinear (nondeterministic) sign-flip gate (NS) is explained, and designs of two qubits conditional sign flip gate (c-z1/16) and CNOT gate, both based on KLM method, are demonstrated. So, universal set of quantum gates based on linear optics is possible.
In this paper, we consider a method for implementing a quantum logic gate with photons whose wave function propagates in a one-dimensional Kerr-nonlinear photonic crystal. The photonic crystal causes the incident photons to undergo Bragg reflection by its periodic structure of dielectric materials and forms the photonic band structure, namely, the light dispersion relation. This dispersion relation reduces the group velocity of the wave function of the photons, so that it enhances nonlinear interaction of the photons. (Because variation of the group velocity against the wave vector is very steep, we have to tune up the wavelength of injected photons precisely, however.) If the photonic crystal includes layers of a Kerr medium, we can rotate the phase of the wave function of the incident photons by a large angle efficiently. We show that we can construct the nonlinear sign-shift (NS) gate proposed by Knill, Laflamme and Milburn (KLM) by this method. Thus, we can construct the conditional sign-flip gate for two qubits, which is crucial for quantum computation. Our NS gate works with probability unity in principle while KLM's original one is a nondeterministic gate conditioned on the detection of an auxiliary photon.

In this paper, we investigate decoherence of Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn’s nonlinear sign-shift gate that is implemented with the Jaynes–Cummings model. Introducing a stochastic variable as an external electric field, we let it couple with a dipole moment of a two-level atom. We examine this model using a semiclassical theory. Results of the Monte Carlo simulations under the semiclassical approximation correspond well with those obtained with quantum mechanical perturbation theory for the stochastic process. In the results of the simulations, we observe both the |$\mbox{T}_{1}$| and |$\mbox{T}_{2}$| decays. This paper is a sequel to [H. Azuma, Prog. Theor. Phys. 126, 369 (2011)].
In this paper, we investigate decoherence of Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn's nonlinear sign-shift gate that is implemented with the Jaynes-Cummings model. We analyze it by two methods. In the first method, we introduce a stochastic variable as an external magnetic field, and we let it couple with a magnetic dipole moment of a two-level atom. We examine this model using a semiclassical theory. The results of the Monte Carlo simulations under the semiclassical approximation correspond well with those obtained with the quantum mechanical perturbation theory for the stochastic process. In the second method, we study a master equation of the Jaynes-Cummings model with cavity losses in a fully quantum mechanical manner. We solve the master equation numerically with the Runge-Kutta method. For both semiclassical and fully quantum mechanical analyses, we can observe both the $\mbox{T}_{1}$ and $\mbox{T}_{2}$ decays. This paper is a sequel of the reference [H.~Azuma, Prog. Theor. Phys. {\bf 126}, 369 (2011)].
The Jaynes-Cummings (JC) interaction-the coherent exchange of excitations between a two-level system and a harmonic oscillator-is one of the fundamental interactions of quantum optics, realized across platforms such as cavity quantum electrodynamics, trapped ions, mechanical resonators, and superconducting circuits. Although JC interactions and qubit rotations form a universal gate set for oscillator control, practical implementations have not been demonstrated. Here we develop and experimentally demonstrate universal JC-based oscillator control by compiling arbitrary unitary gates into sequences of JC interactions and qubit rotations. In our experiment, the oscillator is realized using a mode of a high quality factor microwave cavity and the ancilla qubit using a superconducting transmon circuit, with the JC interaction implemented by a sideband interaction enabled by the Josephson nonlinearity. The native gates are constructed to be closed below a chosen cutoff photon number, encoding a qudit with suppressed leakage errors, while ancilla relaxation errors are detectable. We further find that the dispersive shift serves as a compilation resource that reduces circuit depths. We demonstrate universal qudit control and implement a single-qutrit gate set with a mean post-selected process fidelity of 96.3%, as well as ququart and ququint shift gates. These results establish Jaynes-Cummings control as a practical route to universal oscillator control, enabling programmable bosonic processors across a variety of quantum platforms.
