Quantum gates are crucial for quantum computation and quantum information processing. However, their effectiveness is often hindered by systematic errors and decoherence. Therefore, achieving resilient quantum gates to these factors is of great significance. We present a method to construct nonadiabatic holonomic single- and two-qubit gates in a Rydberg ground-state-blockade regime. Our approach utilizes a far-off-resonant technique for the single-qubit gate and a modified Rydberg antiblockade for the two-qubit gate. The reduction of the population of single- and two-excitation Rydberg states and the nonadiabatic holonomic process during the construction of the gates ensure robustness to decoherence and systematic errors, respectively. Numerical results demonstrate the fidelity and robustness of our scheme. The proposed scheme holds promise for future applications in quantum computation and quantum information processing tasks.Quantum gates are crucial for quantum computation and quantum information processing.

Single-photon-triggered spin squeezing with decoherence reduction in optomechanics via phase matching

Zhucheng Zhang, Lei Shao, Wangjun Lu +4 more

Quantum spin squeezing is an important resource for quantum information processing, but its squeezing degree is not easy to preserve in an open system with decoherence. Here, we propose a scheme to implement single-photon-triggered spin squeezing with decoherence reduction in an open system. In our system, a Dicke model (DM) with an added quadratic optomechanical coupling is considered, which can be equivalent to an effective DM manipulated by the photon number. Besides, the phonon mode of the optomechanical coupling is coupled to a squeezed-vacuum reservoir with a phase matching, resulting in that its thermal noise can be suppressed completely. We show that squeezing of the phonon mode triggered by a single photon can be transferred to the spin ensemble totally, and pairwise entanglement of the spin ensemble can be realized if and only if there is spin squeezing. Importantly, when considering the impact of the environment, our system can obtain a squeezing degree better than that of the optimal squeezing that can be achieved in the traditional DM. Meanwhile, the spin squeezing generated in our system is immune to the thermal noise. This work offers an effective way to generate spin squeezing with a single photon and to reduce decoherence in an open system, which will have promising applications in quantum information processing.Quantum spin squeezing is an important resource for quantum information processing, but its squeezing degree is not easy to preserve in an open system with decoherence.

High-fidelity generation of Bell and W states in a giant-atom system via bound states in the continuum

Mingzhu Weng, Hongwei Yu, Zhihai Wang

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 systems in quantum information processing.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.
