Multiatom Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states using cavity-induced Rydberg blockade

Abstract

We describe a novel method for producing Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states in cold atoms coupled to a superconducting coplanar cavity. In the proposed scheme, atoms interact between each other by virtual photon exchange via a cavity mode. These interactions cause an asymmetric Rydberg blockade mechanism that suppresses simultaneous excitations into different atomic Rydberg levels, thus forcing all atoms to occupy the same Rydberg state. This mechanism has effect even if the atoms are separated by distances of the order of millimeters. The atomic populations are transferred adiabatically from the ground state into the entangled state by following a collective dark state with low dissipation rates.

Quantum Gates and Multiparticle Entanglement by Rydberg Excitation Blockade and Adiabatic Passage

Ditte Sloth Møller, Lars Bojer Madsen, Klaus Mølmer

We propose to apply stimulated adiabatic passage to transfer atoms from their ground state into Rydberg excited states. Atoms a few micrometers apart experience a dipole-dipole interaction among Rydberg states that is strong enough to shift the atomic resonance and inhibit excitation of more than a single atom. We show that the adiabatic passage in the presence of this interaction between two atoms leads to robust creation of maximally entangled states and to two-bit quantum gates. For many atoms, the excitation blockade leads to an effective implementation of collective-spin and Jaynes-Cummings-like Hamiltonians, and we show that the adiabatic passage can be used to generate collective J_{x}=0 eigenstates and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of tens of atoms.

Rydberg-atom-based creation of an N -particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state using stimulated Raman adiabatic passage

Tanvi P. Gujarati

Schemes for creation of $N$-particle entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states are important for understanding multiparticle nonclassical correlations. Here, a theoretical scheme for creation of a multiparticle GHZ state implemented on a target ensemble of N, $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}$ three-level Rydberg atoms and a single Rydberg atom as a control using stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) is presented. We work in the Rydberg blockade regime for the ensemble atoms induced due to excitation of the control atom to a high-lying Rydberg level. It is shown that using STIRAP, atoms from one ground state of the ensemble can be adiabatically transferred with high fidelity to the other ground state, depending on the state of the control atom. Measurement of the control atom in a specific basis after this conditional transfer facilitates one-step creation of an $N$-particle GHZ state. A thorough analysis of adiabatic conditions for this scheme and the influence of radiative decay from the excited Rydberg levels is presented. We show that this scheme is immune to the decay rate of the excited level in ensemble atoms and provides a robust way of creating GHZ states.

Effective scheme for preparation of multi-atom Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger states in coupled cavities via adiabatic passage

Si-Yang Hao, Yan Xia, Jie Song

A scheme is proposed to deterministically generate multi-atom Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states trapped in coupled cavities, which is based on the adiabatic passage of the dark state. The scheme does not need to adjust the interaction time accurately and is insensitive to the fluctuations of some experimental parameters. However, we should choose the appropriate Rabi frequencies of the classical fields to achieve the optimal characteristic of the system. In addition, we also demonstrate numerically that it is robust against decoherence caused by the cavity decay and atomic spontaneous emission.

Asymmetric Blockade and Multiqubit Gates via Dipole-Dipole Interactions

Jeremy T. Young, Przemysław Bienias, Ron Belyansky +2 more

Because of their strong and tunable interactions, Rydberg atoms can be used to realize fast two-qubit entangling gates. We propose a generalization of a generic two-qubit Rydberg-blockade gate to multiqubit Rydberg-blockade gates that involve both many control qubits and many target qubits simultaneously. This is achieved by using strong microwave fields to dress nearby Rydberg states, leading to asymmetric blockade in which control-target interactions are much stronger than control-control and target-target interactions. The implementation of these multiqubit gates can drastically simplify both quantum algorithms and state preparation. To illustrate this, we show that a 25-atom Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state can be created using only three gates with an error of 5.8%.

One-Step Synthesis of Multiatom Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger States

Shi-Biao Zheng

A scheme is proposed for generating maximally entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) atomic states for testing quantum nonlocality. In the scheme, three atoms are simultaneously sent through a nonresonant cavity in a vacuum state. They are initially in the same state, and thus there is no energy exchange in the process. The cavity-assisted collision results in a phase-shift which depends upon the collective atomic excitations. In principle, the scheme can be generalized to generate N-atom GHZ states. The scheme is insensitive to cavity decay and requires only one cavity, providing new prospects for testing fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics and for quantum information processing.

Collective state synthesis in an optical cavity using Rydberg atom dipole blockade

Santosh Kumar, Jiteng Sheng, Jonathon A. Sedlacek +2 more

Abstract We investigate the coherent manipulation of interacting Rydberg atoms placed inside a high-finesse optical cavity for the deterministic preparation of strongly coupled light-matter systems. We consider a four-level diamond scheme with one common Rydberg level for N interacting atoms. One side of the diamond is used to excite the atoms into a collective ‘superatom’ Rydberg state using either π -pulses or stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) pulses. The upper transition on the other side of the diamond is used to transfer the collective state to one that is coupled to a field mode of an optical cavity. Due to the strong interaction between the atoms in the Rydberg level, the Rydberg blockade mechanism plays a key role in the deterministic quantum state synthesis of the atoms in the cavity. We use numerical simulation to show that non-classical states of light can be generated and that the state that is coupled to the cavity field is a collective one. We also investigate how different decay mechanisms affect this interacting many-body system. We also analyze our system in the case of two Rydberg excitations within the blockade volume. The simulations are carried out with parameters corresponding to realizable high-finesse optical cavities and alkali atoms like rubidium.
