Abstract

We show that all geometric quantum gates (GQG's in short), which are quantum gates only with geometric phases, are robust against control field strength errors. As examples of this observation, we show (1) how robust composite rf-pulses in NMR are geometrically constructed and (2) a composite rf-pulse based on Trotter-Suzuki Formulas is a GQG.

Unitary operations acting on a quantum system must be robust against systematic errors in control parameters for reliable quantum computing. Composite pulse technique in nuclear magnetic resonance realizes such a robust operation by employing a sequence of possibly poor-quality pulses. In this study, we demonstrate that two kinds of composite pulses-one compensates for a pulse length error in a one-qubit system and the other compensates for a J-coupling error in a two-qubit system-have a vanishing dynamical phase and thereby can be seen as geometric quantum gates, which implement unitary gates by the holonomy associated with dynamics of cyclic vectors defined in the text.

Composite pulses in NMR as nonadiabatic geometric quantum gates

Yukihiro Ota, Yasushi Kondo

We show that some composite pulses widely employed in NMR experiments are regarded as nonadiabatic geometric quantum gates with Aharanov-Anandan phases. Thus, we reveal the presence of a fundamental issue on quantum mechanics behind a traditional technique. To examine the robustness of such composite pulses against fluctuations, we present a simple noise model in a two-level system. Then, we find that the composite pulses possesses purely geometrical nature even under a certain type of fluctuations.

Designing short robust not gates for quantum computation

Jonathan A. Jones

Composite pulses, originally developed in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), have found widespread use in experimental quantum information processing (QIP) to reduce the effects of systematic errors. Most pulses used so far have simply been adapted from existing NMR designs, and while techniques have been developed for designing composite pulses with arbitrary precision, the results have been quite complicated and have found little application. Here, I describe techniques for designing short but effective composite pulses to implement robust not gates, bringing together existing insights from NMR and QIP, and present some composite pulses.

概要 Quantum operations robust against random noise and systematic errors are essential ingredients in the quantum control. We have theoretically studied such robust quantum operations against the errors, that consist of several elementary operations and are called composite quantum gates. In this article, we experimentally discuss the robustness of various composite quantum gates by using NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) that is one of the most familiar quantumly controlled systems.

Nonadiabatic geometric quantum gates by composite pulses based on superconducting qubits

The nonadiabatic geometric quantum gate (NGQG) is promising for the realization of high-fidelity operation for large-scale quantum processing. Normally, conventional NGQGs can be especially robust to either the Rabi error or the detuning error, which are two typical errors in many quantum computing platforms. However, it is difficult to suppress these two types of errors at the same time. This remains a big challenge for NGQGs. Here we present a general framework to implement the optimized geometric gate, where the evolution path is performed by using a family of optimized composite pulses. These composite pulses can reduce the sensitivity to the detuning error without introducing an extra Rabi error for this path. Thus, they help fulfill the cyclic evolution condition for the geometric gate. In addition, the inserted composite pulses would not introduce unwanted dynamical phase accumulation. As a result, the designed optimized geometric gate can simultaneously mitigate both the Rabi and detuning errors even in the presence of decoherence related to the real experiments. Our work paves a way to achieve geometric quantum computation robust against multiple errors.
