Demonstration of a two-bit controlled-NOT quantum-like gate using classical acoustic qubit-analogues

Keith Runge, M. Arif Hasan, Joshua A. Levine +1 more

The Controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate is the key to unlock the power of quantum computing as it is a fundamental component of a universal set of gates. We demonstrate the operation of a two-bit C-NOT quantum-like gate using classical qubit acoustic analogues, called herein logical phi-bits. The logical phi-bits are supported by an externally driven nonlinear acoustic metamaterial composed of a parallel array of three elastically coupled waveguides. A logical phi-bit has a two-state degree of freedom associated with the two independent relative phases of the acoustic wave in the three waveguides. A simple physical manipulation involving the detuning of the frequency of one of the external drivers is shown to operate on the complex vectors in the Hilbert space of pairs of logical phi-bits. This operation achieves a systematic and predictable C-NOT gate with unambiguously measurable input and output. The possibility of scaling the approach to more phi-bits is promising.

Coupled Josephson quantum bits

Jaw-Shen Tsai, Tsuyoshi Yamamoto, Yu. A. Pashkin +2 more

The technologies of Josephson-junction-based qubits have been progressing rapidly, ever since its first demonstration by a superconducting charge qubit1. A variety of systems have been implemented with remarkable progress in coherence time and read-out schemes. Although the current level of this solid-state device is still not as advanced as that of the most advanced microscopic-system-based qubits, these developments, together with the potential scalability, have renewed its position as a strong candidate as a building block for the quantum computer. Recently, coherent oscillation and microwave spectroscopy in capacitively-coupled superconducting qubits have been reported. The next challenging step toward quantum computation is a realization of logic gates. Here we demonstrate a conditional gate operation using a pair of coupled superconducting charge qubits. Using a pulse technique, we prepare different input states and show that they can be transformed by controlled-NOT (C-NOT) gate operation in the amplitude of the states. Although the phase evolution during the gate operation is still to be clarified, the present results are a major step toward the realization of a universal solid-state quantum gate.

Demonstration of SiN-photonic Controlled-NOT Gate using Path-entangled Qubit Pairs from a Si-photonic Quantum Splitter

We fabricate a silicon-nitride photonic integrated circuit (PIC) to demonstrate a controlled-NOT quantum-logic gate and a silicon PIC generating path-entangled qubit pairs by splitting degenerate photon pairs. We measure 81% fidelity of CNOT using the fully packaged PICs.
