Abstract

We prove that $(1-o(1))$-fidelity $N$-qubit Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger (GHZ) encoding can be performed in time $O(\log N/N)$ using all-to-all 2-local Hamiltonians with bounded 2-qubit interaction terms. This saturates the theoretical lower bound $Ω(\log N/N)$, and by rescaling, also saturates the lower bound on signaling time for Hamiltonians with power-law interaction strengths $1/r^γ$, $γ<d$ in dimension $d$. The protocol uses spin-squeezing dynamics combined with quantum signal processing.

Fast and Accurate Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger Encoding Using All-to-All Interactions

Chao Yin

The N-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state is an important resource for quantum technologies. We consider the task of GHZ encoding using all-to-all interactions, which prepares the GHZ state in a special case, and is furthermore useful for quantum error correction, interaction-rate enhancement, and transmitting information using power-law interactions. The naive protocol based on parallelizing cnot gates takes O(1)-time of Hamiltonian evolution. In this work, we propose a fast protocol that achieves GHZ encoding with high accuracy. The evolution time O(log^{2}N/N) almost saturates the theoretical limit Ω(logN/N). Moreover, the final state is close to the ideal encoded one with high fidelity >1-10^{-3}, up to large system sizes N≲2000. The protocol only requires a few stages of time-independent Hamiltonian evolution; the key idea is to use the data qubit as control, and to use fast spin-squeezing dynamics generated by e.g., two-axis twisting.

Local and nonlocal contents in N -qubit generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states

Chang-Liang Ren, Mahn‐Soo Choi

We investigate local contents in $N$-qubit generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. We suggest a decomposition for correlations in the GHZ states into a nonlocal and fully local part, and find a lower and upper bound on the local content. Our lower bound reproduces the previous result for $N=2$ [V. Scarani, Phys. Rev. A 77, 042112 (2008)] and decreases rapidly with $N$.

Preparing Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states on ground levels of neutral atoms

Zhu-yao Jin, Jun Jing

We propose a scalable protocol in the Rydberg atomic system to generate the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, where the qubits are encoded on the hyperfine ground levels. Our system is featured with off-resonant driving fields rather than strong Rydberg interaction sufficient for blockade. Closely it can follow the desired nonadiabatic passage during the time evolution and avoid the unwanted transition by imposing the passage-dependent and fast-varying global phase, that serves as an error correction to the universal quantum control. In our protocol, an $N$-qubit GHZ state is prepared in $N-1$ steps, which is found to be robust against both environmental noise and systematic deviation. Our protocol therefore provides an avenue toward large-scale entanglement, which is essential for quantum information processing and computation based on neutral atoms.

Decoherence of a Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state in a five‐qubit NMR quantum computer

Minaru Kawamura, Takuji Morimoto, Yoshiyuki Mori +3 more

Abstract This work provides a simple approximate method of creating a Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) state with high fidelity, using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques, and reports on the decoherence process for these GHZ states, which is observed with a pair of encoder and decoder quantum circuits. The prepared GHZ states are verified by measuring the quantum correlations, which are well known as GHZ correlations. The results of the decoherence experiments, show that the GHZ states decay faster than bipartite entangled states such as Bell states by a factor of 1.3, and it appears that two different decoherence processes exist. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fast measurement-based generation of large-scale Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state with atomic nuclear-spin qubits

Yan Lu, Xiao-Feng Shi

Large-scale Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger~(GHZ) state is useful for quantum technologies but difficult to be prepared. Here, we propose fast measurement-based preparation of large-scale GHZ states by a four-qubit quantum phase gate with nuclear-spin qubits of alkaline-earth-like atoms, which is named as quantum ferromagnetic gate~(QFG) due to its analogy to the alignment of molecular magnetic moments in a classical magnet. A high-fidelity Rydberg-mediated QFG can be realized in a time of $6π/Ω_{\text{m}}$ with $Ω_{\text{m}}$ the maximal Rydberg Rabi frequency. From a product state of three data atom and one ancilla atom, a gluing circuit with one QFG, two single-qubit gates, and a projective measurement of the ancilla can generate a 3-qubit GHZ state, and repetition of this gluing circuit can lead to 9, 27, 81, 243, $\cdots$-qubit GHZ states. Analyses based on currently available techniques show that a 243-qubit GHZ state is realizable, and more qubits can be entangled with higher detection fidelity.

Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state protocols for fully connected qubit networks

Andrei Galiautdinov, Mark W. Coffey, Ron Deiotte

We generalize the recently proposed Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger tripartite protocol [A. Galiautdinov and J. M. Martinis, Phys. Rev. A 78, 010305(R) (2008)] to fully connected networks of weakly coupled qubits interacting by way of anisotropic Heisenberg exchange $g(XX+YY)+\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{g}ZZ$. Our model differs from the more familiar Ising-Heisenberg chain in that here every qubit interacts with every other qubit in the circuit. The assumption of identical couplings on all qubit pairs allows an elegant proof of the protocol for arbitrary $N$. In order to further make contact with experiment, we study fidelity degradation due to coupling imperfections by numerically simulating the $N=3$ and 4 cases. Our simulations indicate that the best fidelity at unequal couplings is achieved when (a) the system is initially prepared in the uniform superposition state (similarly to how it is done in the ideal case) and (b) the entangling time and the final rotations on each of the qubits are appropriately adjusted.

Fast GHZ encoding with 1−o(1)1-o(1)1−o(1) fidelity
We prove that (1−o(1))(1-o(1))(1−o(1))-fidelity NNN-qubit Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger (GHZ) encoding can be performed in time O(log⁡N/N)O(\log N/N)O(logN/N) using all-to-all 2-local Hamiltonians with bounded 2-qubit interaction terms. This saturates the theoretical lower bound Ω(log⁡N/N)Ω(\log N/N)Ω(logN/N), and by rescaling, also saturates the lower bound on signaling time for Hamiltonians with power-law interaction strengths 1/rγ1/r^γ1/rγ, γ<dγ<dγ<d in dimension ddd. The protocol uses spin-squeezing dynamics combined with quantum signal processing.
