Abstract

We propose a geometric quantum computation (GQC) scheme, called Floquet GQC (FGQC), where error-resilient geometric gates based on periodically driven two-level systems can be constructed via a non-Abelian geometric phase proposed in a recent study [V. Novi\ifmmode \check{c}\else \v{c}\fi{}enko and G. Juzeli\ifmmode \bar{u}\else \={u}\fi{}nas, Phys. Rev. A 100, 012127 (2019)]. Based on Rydberg atoms, we give possible implementations of universal FGQC single-qubit gates and a nontrivial FGQC two-qubit gate. By using numerical simulation, we evaluate the performance of the FGQC Z and X gates in the presence of both decoherence and a certain kind of systematic control error. For the currently available coherence time of the Rydberg state, ${T}_{2}\ensuremath{\approx}32\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{s}$, the numerical results show that the X and Z gate fidelities are about $0.900$ and $0.899$, respectively. In addition, we find that FGQC is robust against global control error; both analytical demonstration and numerical evidence are given. As the coherence time of various qubits grows, FGQC may provide a promising error-resilient quantum computation scheme in the future.

Non-adiabatic geometric quantum computation (NGQC) provides a promising way for implementing robust quantum gate operation. However, NGQC has no obvious advantage over the dynamical scheme in dealing with control errors. Here, we show a new geometric scheme, called Floquet geometric quantum computation (FGQC), in which error-resistant geometric gates based on periodically driven two-level systems can be constructed via a new non-Abelian geometric phase proposed in a recent work [V. Noviĉenko \emph{et al}, Phys. Rev. A 100, 012127 (2019) ]. Based on Rydberg atoms, the experimental feasibility of our proposal is demonstrated through numerical simulation using the recent experimental parameters. In addition, the numerical simulation of our geometric gates in the presence of global control error shows that the FGQC gates are more robust over NGQC and dynamical gate (DG). We further analytically prove the superiority of FGQC in terms of robustness against global control error. Consequently, our work makes an important step towards robust geometric quantum computation.

One-step implementation of Rydberg nonadiabatic noncyclic geometric quantum computation in decoherence-free subspaces

Li-Na Sun, F.-Q. Guo, Zheng Shan +3 more

Quantum gates constructed by geometric phase are naturally robust to control errors due to the global nature of the geometric evolution path. Therefore, how to cope with the inevitable decoherence errors is worthy of serious attention for geometric quantum computation. Different from conventional nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation (NGQC), which needs the same evolution time for any geometric rotation angle, we have proposed and experimentally demonstrated nonadiabatic noncyclic geometric quantum computation (NNGQC) without the requirement of the cyclic evolution condition, which thus reduces decoherence errors due to shortened evolution time [J. W. Zhang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 030502 (2021)]. In addition, the use of decoherence-free subspaces (DFS) is another effective strategy to protect quantum gates from dephasing error and has been studied in nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation [G. F. Xu et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 170501 (2012)]. Motivated by previous studies, we propose a one-step scheme to implement single-qubit NNGQC operation in DFS constructed by two Rydberg atoms, and then generalize the scheme to the two-logical-qubit case in one step. The numerical results show that our scheme is robust against decoherence in contrast to the NGQC counterparts. The present scheme combines the features of NNGQC and DFS and can further reduce the impact of decoherence on gate infidelity, which may provide an option for the realization of Rydberg-atom-based quantum computation in the future.

Recent Advances on Nonadiabatic Geometric Quantum Computation

Zheng-Yuan Xue, Cheng-Yun Ding

The geometric phase stands as a foundational concept in quantum physics, revealing deep connections between geometric structures and quantum dynamical evolution. Unlike dynamical phases, geometric phases exhibit intrinsic resilience to certain types of perturbation, making them particularly valuable for quantum information processing, where maintaining coherent quantum operations is essential. This article provides a review of geometric phases in the context of universal quantum gate construction, i.e., the geometric quantum computation (GQC), with special attention to recent progress in nonadiabatic implementations that enhance gate fidelity and/or operational robustness. We first review a unified theoretical framework that can encompass all existing nonadiabatic GQC approaches, then systematically examine the design principles of nonadiabatic geometric gates with a particular focus on how optimal control techniques can be leveraged to improve the accuracy and noise resistance. In addition, we conducted detailed numerical comparisons of various nonadiabatic GQC protocols, offering a quantitative assessment of their respective performance characteristics and practical limitations. Through this focused investigation, our aim is to provide researchers with both fundamental insights and practical guidance for advancing geometric approaches in quantum computing.

Floquet geometric entangling gates in ground-state manifolds of Rydberg atoms

Hao-Wen Sun, Jin-Lei Wu, Shi‐Lei Su

Abstract We propose new applications of Floquet theory in Rydberg atoms for constructing quantum entangling gates in atomic ground-state manifolds. By dynamically periodically modulating the Rabi frequencies of transitions between ground and Rydberg states of atoms, error-resilient two-qubit entangling gates can be implemented in the regime of Rydberg blockade. According to different degrees of Floquet theory utilization, the fidelity of the resulting controlled gates surpasses that of the original reference, and it exhibits high robustness against Rabi error in two qubits and detuning error in the control qubit. Our method only uses encoding in the ground states, and compared to the original scheme using Rydberg state for encoding, it is less susceptible to environmental interference, making it more practical to implement. Therefore, our approach may have broader applications or potential for further expansion of geometric quantum computation with neutral atoms.

Nonadiabatic Noncyclic Geometric Quantum Computation via unconventional Rydberg blockade

Bao-Jie Liu, Shi‐Lei Su, Man‐Hong Yung

Nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation (NGQC) has been developed to realize fast and robust geomet-ric gate. However, the conventiona NGQC is that all of the gates are performed with exactly the same amount of time, whether the geometric rotation angle is large or small, due to the limitation of cyclic condition. Here, we propose an unconventional scheme, called nonadiabatic noncyclic geometric quantum computation (NNGQC), that arbitrary single- and two-qubit geometric gate can be constructed via noncyclic non-Abelian geometric phase. Consequently, this scheme makes it possible to accelerate the implemented geometric gates against the effects from the environmental decoherence. Furthermore, this extensible scheme can be applied in various quantum platforms, such as superconducting qubit and Rydberg atoms. Specifically, for single-qubit gate, wemake simulations with practical parameters in neutral atom system to show the robustness of NNGQC and also compare with NGQC using the recent experimental parameters to show that the NNGQC can significantly suppress the decoherence error. In addition, we also demonstrate that nontrivial two-qubit geometric gate can berealized via unconventional Rydberg blockade regime within current experimental technologies. Therefore, our scheme provides a promising way for fast and robust neutral-atom-based quantum computation.

Multiple-qubit nonadiabatic noncyclic geometric quantum computation in Rydberg atoms

F.-Q. Guo, Xiaoyu Zhu, M.-R. Yun +4 more

Abstract Single- and two-qubit nonadiabatic noncyclic geometric quantum computation (NNGQC) have been put forward in theory (Liu B.-J. et al. , Phys. Rev. Res. 2 (2020) 043130). The features of single-qubit NNGQC have been experimentally verified and the experimental technical route of the two-qubit case has been discussed in detail (Zhang J. W. et al. , Phys. Rev. Lett. 127 (2021) 030502). The multiple-qubit quantum logic gate is critical for quantum computation. Although combining a series of single- and two-qubit NNGQC gates can form universal operations and create arbitrary multiple-qubit gates, the created multiple-qubit gate often consumes more quantum resource and requires longer evolution time, which makes it more fragile to systematic error and decoherence. In this article, we propose a scheme to directly construct the multiple-qubit NNGQC gates in Rydberg atoms. The numerical results show that the proposed quantum gates have high fidelity and are robust to systemic error and decoherence. Our scheme may be applied in the future quantum computation and many-body quantum science studies.
