Heralded fidelity-robust high-dimensional quantum computing

Abstract In high-dimensional quantum systems, qudits offer a richer resource than traditional two-dimensional qubits, increasing the capacity of quantum channels and enhancing the efficiency of fault-tolerant quantum computation. These advantages can be utilized to solve complex problems across various fields. In the paper, we propose a 2-qudit controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate in a 4 × 4 -dimensional space and a 3-qudit controlled-controlled-NOT (Toffoli) gate in a 4 × 4 × 4 -dimensional space, both equipped with error-heralded units. Our designs do not require auxiliary photons or extra negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy (NV−) center, resulting in saving resources. Moreover, since the imperfect NV−-cavity interaction processes are predicted in real-time by sensitive single-photon detectors, both high-dimensional CNOT and Toffoli gates boast robust fidelities using existing technology. Furthermore, our protocols simplify circuits with error-heralded units, significantly contributing to the effectiveness of quantum information technology and paving the way for advanced high-dimensional quantum computing.

Heralded high-dimensional module-based quantum computation

Xiao Zhang, Wen-Qiang Liu, Hai-Rui Wei

Parity measurements have been explored as building blocks for preparing and discriminating entangled states, as well as for implementing quantum computation. We first develop two alternative high-dimensional generalized parity modules, and then propose a procedure for constructing high-dimensional generalized module-based controlled-NOT gate. The construction of module-based quantum computing introduced here is deterministic, heralded, insensitive to the dimensionality of the computing basis, and postselection technique is not required. The result shows that out of $(d-1)!$ generalized parity modules, only modules $ \mathcal{P}=(j\ominus i)\bmod d$ and $ \mathcal{P}=(j \oplus i)\bmod d$ can be used as building blocks for high-dimensional quantum computing. Furthermore, we proposed an optical nondestructive scheme for implementing generalized parity module through quantum nondemolition measurements, and the success of the parity module is heralded by photon-number-resolving detectors and single-photon detectors.

Error-heralded high-dimensional quantum gate with robust fidelity

Fang‐Fang Du, Xue-Mei Ren, Jing Guo

Quantum computing in high-dimensional spaces holds promise for a plethora of applications, i.e., handling more intricate information and executing wider quantum operations, in complex quantum information technologies (QITs). In the paper, we set up an error-heralded, resource-saving, circuit-simplified, and 4×4-dimensional controlled-not (CNOT) gate, where the polarized and spatial state of the flying photon (i.e., the control qudit) can effectively control the collective spin wave state of two atomic ensembles (i.e., the target qudit) in two double-sided cavities. Moreover, through meticulous analysis, the feasibility of the high-dimensional gate using existing technology boasts the exceptional performance including a near-unity fidelity and high efficiency exceeding 0.95, in principle, as the undesired performances originated from the little side leakage and the finite coupling strength, and the imperfect atom-ensemble-cavity interactions are heralded by single-photon detectors. Besides, auxiliary photons or atomic ensembles are unnecessary. Therefore, our protocol stands out for its simplicity, efficient resource utilization, and real-time error prediction, contributing significantly to the efficacy of QIT and charting a promising path towards the realization of high-dimensional quantum computing endowed with heightened capabilities.
