Abstract

One scheme is presented to construct the robust multi-qubit arbitrary-phase controlled-phase gate (CPG) with one control and multiple target qubits in Rydberg atoms using the Lewis-Riesenfeld (LR) invariant method. The scheme is not limited by adiabatic condition while preserves the robustness against control parameter variations of adiabatic evolution. Comparing with the adiabatic case, our scheme does not require very strong Rydberg interaction strength. Taking the construction of two-qubit π CPG as an example, our scheme is more robust against control parameter variations than non-adiabatic scheme and faster than adiabatic scheme.

Multiple-qubit controlled unitary quantum gate for Rydberg atoms using shortcut to adiabaticity and optimized geometric quantum operations

Meng Li, F.-Q. Guo, Z. Jin +3 more

Multiple-qubit quantum logic gates are an important element in the implementation of quantum computers. The direct construction of multiple-qubit quantum logic gates in an efficient way has important values compared to the construction of multiple-qubit gates using a series of two-qubit and single-qubit gates. We propose a scheme to construct a multiple-qubit ${\mathrm{C}}_{k}\mathrm{U}$ gate ($k$ denotes the number of control qubits and U means the arbitrary universal operation performed on the target qubit) in a neutral atom platform through the Rydberg blockade effect by successively exciting them to Rydberg states. This scheme takes advantage of the shortcut to adiabaticity of inverse engineering, geometric quantum operations, as well as optimized control theory. The geometric quantum computation considered in this manuscript guarantees the robustness to operational errors. Meanwhile, inverse engineering-based shortcut to adiabaticity provides a further advantage in terms of the speed of the system evolution compared to adiabatic processes. An additional feature of our multiple-qubit quantum logic gate is that arbitrary operation on the target atom can be realized by adjusting the amplitude and phase of the laser fields. Numerical simulation of the master equation based on the full Hamiltonian demonstrates the high fidelity of the proposed scheme and its robustness to operational errors and spontaneous emission.

Geometric Rydberg quantum gate with shortcuts to adiabaticity

Kai-Yu Liao, Xiao-Hong Liu, Zhi Li +1 more

We propose a controlled-PHASE gate for neutral atoms in which one of the qubit state components adiabatically evolves along the multiple-atom eigenstate formed by the chirped laser pulse coupling to Rydberg states and intrinsic dipole-dipole exchange interactions and, consequently, accumulates an interaction-induced geometric phase. The geometric Rydberg gate is not limited by an adiabatic condition, which is sped up by shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA). Analyses show that an STA scheme is more robust than a non-adiabatic case against the variations of control parameters and faster than an adiabatic case, which protects from the decay of Rydberg states. Furthermore, an intermediate value of dipole-dipole interaction strength is enough for our scheme.

Rabi‐Robustness Multiqubit Geometric Gate with Rydberg Atoms

Jie Wei, Lv‐Yun Wang, L.-L. Yan +2 more

Abstract Due to the limitation of quantum resources, direct synthesis of a multiqubit logic gate can significantly improve the efficiency of practical quantum information processing. In this article, an enhanced‐robustness gate scheme is proposed to implement three‐qubit controlled gates, i.e., and , by using resonant dipole–dipole exchange interaction‐induced adiabatic evolutions along with the dark state dynamics and super‐robust pulse sequences in Rydberg atoms. Such a gate scheme can execute arbitrary single‐qubit operations on the target qubit with pure geometric phase and is especially suitable for the case where the decoherence is not very obvious. Taking and as typical examples, various experimental imperfections are studied, including the Doppler effect, spontaneous emission of the intermediate state, laser phase noise, and fluctuations of interaction and external fields. Therefore, with the increasing demand for multiqubit gates, the proposal provides a more promising alternative for future fault‐tolerant and scalable quantum computation.

Shortcuts to adiabatic passage for multiqubit controlled-phase gate

Yan Liang, Qi‐Cheng Wu, Shi‐Lei Su +2 more

We propose an alternative scheme of shortcuts to a quantum controlled phase gate in a much shorter time based on the approach of Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants in cavity quantum electrodynamics systems. This scheme can be used to perform a one-qubit phase gate, a two-qubit controlled phase gate, as well as a multiqubit controlled phase gate. The strict numerical simulations demonstrate that the total operation time for implementing controlled phase gates is much shorter than previous schemes and very robust against decoherence.

One-step implementation of the Rydberg-Rydberg-interaction gate

Shi‐Lei Su, Erjun Liang, Shou Zhang +4 more

We propose several schemes for implementing a two-qubit quantum phase gate between two Rydberg atoms. The schemes could be realized in one step without adiabatic passage which depends on the specifical shapes and tailored pulse sequences of the laser fields. When the Rydberg-Rydberg-interaction (RRI) strength and the parameters of the driving fields satisfy some certain conditions, the effective Rabi oscillation between the two-excitation Rydberg state and the ground state would be generated, which is out of the Rydberg blockade regime and essential for our scheme. In addition, the individual addressing of the atoms is not required. And the schemes can work under strong or weak RRI strength. The imperfections induced by the variation of RRI strength and spontaneous emission are discussed through solving the master equation numerically.

One-step construction of the multiple-qubit Rydberg controlled-phase gate

Shi‐Lei Su, H. Z. Shen, Erjun Liang +1 more

Although the three-body Rydberg antiblockade regime (RABR) can produce Rabi oscillation between the Rydberg collective excited state and the collective ground state, it is still hard to use the RABR to construct the three-qubit quantum logic gate in one step since the effective Hamiltonian is always accompanied by undesired Stark shifts. In order to overcome this difficulty, an additional laser is introduced to eliminate the Stark shifts in the ground-state subspace. And the initial RABR condition is modified to eliminate the remaining undesired Stark shifts in the collective-excitation subspace. The modified RABR is then generalized to the $n (n>3)$-qubit case. Based on the proposed regime, one-step schemes to construct three- and $n$-qubit quantum controlled-PHASE gates are proposed without the requirement of atomic addressability. The asymmetric Rydberg-Rydberg interaction, which is more practical for Rydberg atoms, is also discussed and proven to be feasible for the modified RABR and quantum controlled-PHASE gate in theory. A full-Hamiltonian-based master equation is used to evaluate the performance and some experimental parameters are also considered.
