High-fidelity Generation of Bell and W States in Giant Atom System via Bound State in the Continuum

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a high-fidelity scheme for generating entangled states in a system of two and three giant atoms coupled to the coupled resonator waveguide. Our approach leverages the bound state in the continuum, which is robust against waveguide disorder. Specifically, we achieve a fidelity exceeding $98\%$ for Bell state generation, overcoming the limitations of conventional decoherence-free interaction mechanisms. This scheme can be readily extended to a three-giant-atom system for generating W states. In both the two- and three-atom setups, the maximally entangled states are generated in a short time and remain stable even as time approaches infinity. Our proposal is feasible for implementation on state-of-the-art solid-state quantum platforms and significantly broadens the applications of giant atoms and waveguide QED system in quantum information processing.

Counterdiabatic quasi-Floquet control for the generation of entangled BICs using giant atoms

Alexis R. Legón, Pedro Orellana, Ariel Norambuena

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) provide a mechanism for preserving entanglement in waveguide quantum electrodynamics. Here, using quantum control techniques in a configuration of two braided giant atoms, we propose a robust approach to create high-fidelity entangled BICs. The protocol combines quasi-Floquet modulation of the effective atom--waveguide couplings with an independent phase-controlled atomic exchange, which provides restricted counterdiabatic assistance for preparing the complete dressed BIC. In the lossless effective model, we obtain a full-state BIC fidelity of $0.99992$ and an unconditional atomic Bell fidelity of $0.99588$ using a fast control protocol. Microscopic finite-mode simulations validate the central-sideband description during the passage, while static calibration-error scans quantify its control tolerances. A separate microscopic study with relaxation and dephasing, using experimentally motivated component scales, identifies a finite useful entanglement window and a benefit from shaping the coupling envelopes. These results support controlled preparation, retention, and retrieval of dressed entanglement within the stated control and noise assumptions.

Generation of two-giant-atom entanglement in waveguide-QED systems

Xian‐Li Yin, Jie‐Qiao Liao

We study the generation of quantum entanglement between two giant atoms coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. Since each giant atom interacts with the waveguide at two separate coupling points, there exist three different coupling configurations in the two-atom waveguide system: separated, braided, and nested couplings. Within the Wigner-Weisskopf framework for single coupling points, the quantum master equations governing the evolution of the two giant atoms are obtained. For each coupling configuration, the entanglement dynamics of the two giant atoms is studied, including the cases of two different atomic initial states: single- and double-excitation states. It is shown that the generated entanglement depends on the coupling configuration, phase shift, and atomic initial state. For the single-excitation initial state, there exists steady-state entanglement for these three couplings due to the appearance of the dark state. For the double-excitation initial state, an entanglement sudden birth is observed via adjusting the phase shift. In particular, the maximal entanglement for the nested coupling is about one order of magnitude larger than those of separate and braided couplings. In addition, the influence of the atomic frequency detuning on the entanglement generation is studied. This work can be utilized for the generation and control of atomic entanglement in quantum networks based on giant-atom waveguide-QED systems, which have wide potential applications in quantum information processing.

Bound state in the continuum and multiple atom state transfer applications in a waveguide QED setup

Xiang Guo, Xiaojun Zhang, Mingzhu Weng +5 more

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have been extensively exploited to enhance light--matter interactions in metamaterials, yet their emergence and utility in multi-atom waveguide platforms remain far less explored. Here we study atom--waveguide-dressed BICs in a one-dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide, where two spatially separated atomic arrays couple to distinct resonators with time-dependent strengths. We show that these BICs support a standing-wave photonic mode and enable the transfer of an arbitrary unknown quantum state between the two arrays with fidelities exceeding $99\%$. The protocol remains robust against both disorder and intrinsic dissipation. Our results establish BICs as long-lived resources for high-fidelity quantum information processing in waveguide-QED architectures.

Bound states and atomic interaction in giant atom waveguide QED with dispersive coupling

Mingzhu Weng, Zhihai Wang

In this paper, we investigate the bound states and the effective interaction between a pair of giant atoms, which couples to the coupled resonator waveguide in a nested configuration. To suppress the harmful individual and collective dissipations to the waveguide, we consider the dispersive coupling scheme, where the frequency of the giant atoms are far away from the propagating band of the waveguide. In our scheme, the atomic interaction can be induced by the overlap between the bound states in the gap. We demonstrate the relative position dependent atomic coupling and explore its application in the state transfer. We find that the transfer fidelity of a superposition state can approach 0.999. Therefore, our scheme is useful for designing robust quantum information processing. • Bound states of giant atom waveguide coupled system are investigated. • The individual and collective dissipations of giant atoms induced by waveguide is completely suppressed. • The quantum state transfer scheme with fidelity approaching 0.999.

Bound state in the continuum and dynamics via phase modulation in giant-atom waveguide setups

Ji Qi, Xiaojun Zhang, Honngwei Yu +1 more

Giant atoms, which couple to a waveguide through multiple spatially separated connection points beyond the dipole approximation, provide a versatile route for quantum information processing based on interference-induced bound states in the continuum (BICs). While multi-giant-atom architectures are being developed toward giant-atom quantum networks, the role of direct coupling between the giant atoms, in particular the associated coupling phase, in atomic dynamics remains insufficiently understood. Here we take a first step toward addressing this issue by studying a two-giant-atom waveguide-QED model. We show that the coupling phase can be used to control both the number of BICs and their profiles for both of photon and atoms. More interestingly, the presence of BICs gives rise to a variety of dynamical behaviors, providing an effective mechanism for tailoring quantum-state evolution in giant-atom waveguide-QED systems. Our results highlight coupling-phase engineering as a useful tool for controlling interference, bound states, and quantum dynamics in nonlocal light--matter interfaces.
