Abstract

Cavity-mediated two-qubit gates, for example between solid-state spins, are attractive for quantum network applications. We propose three schemes to implement a controlled phase-flip gate mediated by a cavity. The main advantage of all these schemes is the possibility to perform them using a cavity with high cooperativity, but not in the strong-coupling regime. We calculate the fidelity of each scheme in detail, taking into account the most important realistic imperfections, and compare them to highlight the optimal conditions for each scheme. Using these results, we discuss which quantum system characteristics might favor one scheme over another.

Optimized cavity-mediated dispersive two-qubit gates between spin qubits

Mónica Benito, J. R. Petta, Guido Burkard

The recent realization of a coherent interface between a single electron in a silicon quantum dot and a single photon trapped in a superconducting cavity opens the way for implementing photon-mediated two-qubit entangling gates. In order to couple a spin to the cavity electric field, some type of spin-charge hybridization is needed, which impacts spin control and coherence. In this work we propose a cavity-mediated two-qubit gate and calculate cavity-mediated entangling gate fidelities in the dispersive regime, accounting for errors due to the spin-charge hybridization, as well as photon- and phonon-induced decays. By optimizing the degree of spin-charge hybridization, we show that two-qubit gates mediated by cavity photons are capable of reaching fidelities exceeding $90%$ in present-day device architectures. High iswap gate fidelities are achievable even in the presence of charge noise at the level of $2\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\mu}\text{eV}$.

Optimization of a cavity-QED system for fast two-qubit gates

Rui Asaoka, Takeru Utsugi, Yuuki Tokunaga +2 more

Cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) enables deterministic controlled gates between neutral atom and photon qubits, such as the controlled phase flip (CPF) gate [1] , which is a key component for implementing quantum computation. The gate fidelity drops sharply when the length of an input-photon pulse is shorter than the inverse of the bandwidth of a cavity, because of the distortion of the output pulse. This limits the operational speed of the gates. One way to boost the limit of gate speed may be to reduce cavity length, since this increases the bandwidth of the cavity with keeping high cooperativity [2] .

Tunable phase gate for two atoms with an immunity to decoherence

Shi‐Biao Zheng, Guang‐Can Guo

A scheme is presented for realizing a tunable phase gate for two atoms. The scheme is based on atom-cavity interaction and linear optics elements. In comparison with previous schemes, the distinct advantage is that the fidelity of the gate is not affected by the atomic spontaneous emission, cavity decay, and imperfection of the photodetectors, which is important for implementing high-fidelity quantum gates under realistic conditions.

Realizing quantum controlled phase flip through cavity QED

Yun‐Feng Xiao, Xiu‐Min Lin, Jie Gao +3 more

We propose a scheme to realize quantum controlled phase flip (CPF) between two rare-earth ions embedded in the respective microsphere cavity via interacting with a single-photon pulse in sequence. The numerical simulations illuminate that the CPF gate between ions is robust and scalable with extremely high fidelity and low error rate. Our scheme is more applicable than other schemes presented before based on current laboratory cavity-QED technology, and it is possible to be used as an applied unit gate in future quantum computation and quantum communication.

Quantum phase gate of photonic qubits in a cavity QED system

Jing Shu, Xu‐Bo Zou, Yun‐Feng Xiao +1 more

A scheme is proposed to realize a two-qubit quantum phase gate for the intracavity modes. In the scheme, two qubits are encoded in zero- and one-photon Fock states of two intracavity modes, and the three-level $\ensuremath{\Lambda}$-type atom trapped in a high-$Q$ cavity mediates the conditional phase gate within a given interaction time. The influence of cavity decay and atomic spontaneous emission on the gate fidelity is also discussed.

Optimal Control of a Cavity-Mediated i SWAP Gate between Silicon Spin Qubits

Steve M. Young, N. Tobias Jacobson, J. R. Petta

Semiconductor spin qubits may be coupled through a superconducting cavity to generate an entangling two-qubit gate. However, the fidelity of such an operation will be reduced by a variety of error mechanisms such as charge and magnetic noise, phonons, cavity loss, transitions to nonqubit states, and, for electrons in silicon, excitation into other valley eigenstates. Here, we model the effects of these error sources and the valley degree of freedom on the performance of a cavity-mediated two-qubit $\mathrm{i}$swap gate. For valley splittings inadequately large relative to the interdot tunnel coupling within each qubit, we find that valley excitation may be a limiter to the fidelity of this two-qubit gate. In addition, we show trade-offs between gating times and exposure to various error sources, identifying optimal operating regimes and device improvements that would have the greatest impact on the fidelity of the cavity-mediated spin $\mathrm{i}$swap gate. Importantly, we find that, while the impact of charge noise and phonon relaxation favor operation in the regime where the qubits are most spinlike to reduce sensitivity to these sources of noise, the combination of hyperfine noise and valley physics shifts the optimal regime to chargelike qubits with stronger effective spin-photon coupling so that gate times can be made as short as possible. In this regime, the primary limitation is the need to avoid Landau-Zener transitions as the gate is implemented.
