Resonant single-shot CNOT in remote double quantum dot spin qubits

Abstract

A critical element towards the realization of scalable quantum processors is non-local coupling between nodes. Scaling connectivity beyond nearest-neighbor interactions requires the implementation of a mediating interaction often termed a 'quantum bus'. Cavity photons have long been used as a bus by the superconducting qubit community, but it has only recently been demonstrated that spin-based qubits in double quantum dot architectures can reach the strong coupling regime and exhibit spin-spin interactions via the exchange of real or virtual photons. Two-qubit gate operations are predicted in the dispersive regime where cavity loss plays a less prominent role. In this work we propose a framework for ac-driven quantum gates, in the context of a CNOT operation, between two non-local single-spin qubits dispersively coupled to a common mode of a superconducting resonator. We expect gate times near 150 ns and fidelities above 90% with existing technology.

Resonant direct cnot in remote double quantum dot spin qubits

A critical element towards the realization of scalable quantum processors is nonlocal coupling between nodes. Scaling connectivity beyond nearest-neighbor interactions requires the implementation of a mediating interaction often termed a quantum bus. Cavity photons have long been used as a bus by the superconducting qubit community, but it has only recently been demonstrated that spin-based qubits in double quantum dot architectures can reach the strong coupling regime and exhibit spin-spin interactions via the exchange of real or virtual photons. Two-qubit gate operations are predicted in the dispersive regime where cavity loss plays a less prominent role. In this work we combine a cross-resonance entangling drive with simultaneous local rotations to propose a framework for a resonant direct-cnot operation, between two nonlocal single-spin qubits dispersively coupled to a common mode of a superconducting resonator. We expect gate times near 100 ns and fidelities above 90% with existing technology.

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 $2\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\ensuremath{\mu}\text{eV}$.

Cavity-Mediated Entanglement of Parametrically Driven Spin Qubits via Sidebands

Vanita Srinivasa, Jacob M. Taylor, J. R. Petta

We consider a pair of quantum dot-based spin qubits that interact via microwave photons in a superconducting cavity and that are also parametrically driven by separate external electric fields. For this system, we formulate a model for spin qubit entanglement in the presence of mutually off-resonant qubit and cavity frequencies. We show that the sidebands generated via the driving fields enable highly tunable qubit-qubit entanglement using only ac control and without requiring the qubit and cavity frequencies to be tuned into simultaneous resonance. The model we derive can be mapped to a variety of qubit types, including detuning-driven one-electron spin qubits in double quantum dots and three-electron resonant exchange qubits in triple quantum dots. The high degree of nonlinearity inherent in spin qubits renders these systems particularly favorable for parametric drive-activated entanglement. We determine multiple common resonance conditions for the two driven qubits and the cavity and identify experimentally relevant parameter regimes that enable the implementation of entangling gates with suppressed sensitivity to cavity photon occupation and decay. The parametrically driven sideband resonance approach that we describe provides a promising route toward scalability and modularity in spin-based quantum information processing through drive-enabled tunability that can also be implemented in micromagnet-free electron and hole systems for spin-photon coupling.

Ultra-long-distance interaction between spin qubits

Guido Burkard, Ataç İmamoğlu

We describe a method for implementing deterministic quantum gates between two spin qubits separated by centimeters. Qubits defined by the singlet and triplet states of two exchange coupled quantum dots have recently been shown to possess long coherence times. When the effective nuclear fields in the two asymmetric quantum dots are different, total spin will no longer be a good quantum number and there will be a large electric dipole coupling between the two qubit states. We show that when such a double-quantum-dot qubit is embedded in a superconducting microstrip cavity, the strong coupling regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics lies within reach. Virtual photons in a common cavity mode could mediate coherent interactions between two distant qubits embedded in the same structure; the range of this two-qubit interaction is determined by the wavelength of the microwave transition.

Long-distance entangling gates between quantum dot spins mediated by a superconducting resonator

Ada Warren, Edwin Barnes, Sophia E. Economou

Recent experiments with silicon qubits demonstrated strong coupling of a microwave resonator to the spin of a single electron in a double quantum dot, opening up the possibility of long-range spin-spin interactions. We present our theoretical calculation of effective interactions between distant quantum dot spins coupled by a resonator, and propose a protocol for fast, high-fidelity two-qubit gates consistent with experimentally demonstrated capabilities. Our simulations show that, in the presence of noise, spin-spin entangling gates significantly outperform cavity-mediated gates on charge qubits.

Strong coupling of hybrid system between semiconductor quantum dots and superconducting resonator

Mingbo Chen, Yong-Qiang Xu, Gang Cao +1 more

Quantum computing is a powerful way of improving computing efficiency. For some specific problems, quantum processor can exponentially reduce computation time compared to the classical computer. Cavity quantum electrodynamics, which studies the coherent interaction between photons in an optical cavity and atoms or other two-level systems, is of enormous significance to quantum computing and quantum information processing. The strong coupling regime where a cavity photon mode and an atom exchange a single quantum energy coherently has attracted extensive interest in varied experimental platforms and systems such as alkali atoms, Rydberg atoms, large spin ensembles, magnons, etc. The semiconductor gate-defined double quantum dot (DQD) system is one of the most promising platforms that possesses advantages of advanced micro-nano processing technology and outstanding scalability. Introducing the concept of cavity QED into superconducting circuits (circuit QED, cQED), provides an opportunity to study interaction between electrons confined in semiconductor DQD and photons trapped in a superconducting resonator. Reaching strong coupling regime in this hybrid system paves the way to large-scale network of quantum computing. Electrons confined in DQD have large electrical dipoles, thus are able to couple to photons with relatively large coupling rate. Whereas, due to the charge noise and other dissipation channels in the hybrid system, the decoherence rate of the system is larger than the coupling rate, leaving the strong coupling a great challenge. In recent years, different methods have been proposed to access the strong coupling regime. Taking advantage of a high-quality heterojunction structure, an overlapping gate architecture and a low-pass LC filter on the DC bias line, the decoherence of the charge qubit and microwave leakage of the resonator can be effectively suppressed. The coupling strength of the hybrid system can be improved utilizing a high impedance resonator which is comprised of high kinetic inductance materials. Spin, which does not interact directly with the electric field, is insensitive to charge noise and has much longer decoherence time than charge qubit. However, the weak interaction results in a small coupling rate between the spin and the photon. To solve this problem, the method of coherent hybridization between the spin and the charge state is proposed to improve the coupling strength. This hybridization can be achieved by applying a non-uniform magnetic field, utilizing spin-orbit interaction or spin exchange interaction. At present, both charge qubits and spin qubits have achieved strong coupling with the cavity and the coupling distance between long-range qubits is greatly expanded as long as millimeters. This review introduces basic ideas about cQED and fundamental elements in semiconductor cQED systems. Recent progress in strong coupling hybrid system and methods for improving coupling structures are discussed. In future research, more efforts will be devoted into long-range transfer of qubit states and photon-mediated two or multi-qubit gates.
