Abstract

We propose a potentially practical scheme for creating entanglement between two distant nitrogen-vacancy-center (N-$V$) spin ensembles using a current-biased Josephson junction superconducting qubit and transmission line resonators. The idea provides a scalable way to an N-$V$ ensemble-based quantum network, which is close to the reach with currently available technology.

Spin Ensembles Coupled to Superconducting Resonators: A Scalable Architecture for Solid-State Quantum Computing

Changyong Chen, Qizhe Hou, Shao-Hua Li

A design is proposed for scalable solid-state quantum computing, which is based on collectively enhanced magnetic coupling between nitrogen-vacancy center ensembles and superconducting transmission line resonators interconnected by current-biased Josephson junction superconducting phase qubit. In this hybrid system, we realize distant multi-qubit controlled phase gate operations and generate distant multi-qubit entangled W-like states, being indispensable resource to quantum computation. Our proposed architecture consists of solid-state spin ensembles and circuit QED, and could achieve quantum computing in a solid-state environment with high-fidelity and scalable way. The experimental feasibility is discussed, and the implementation efficiency is demonstrated numerically.

Two-mode squeezing of distant nitrogen-vacancy-center ensembles by manipulating the reservoir

Wan Li Yang, Z. Q. Yin, Qiuwen Chen +2 more

We present a scheme to engineer a two-mode squeezed state of effective bosonic modes realized by collective excitations of two distant nitrogen-vacancy-center ensembles (NVEs) coupled to separated transmission line resonators (TLRs), which are interconnected by a current-biased Josephson-junction superconducting qubit. By making use of the engineered NVE-TLR magnetic coupling with Raman transition between the ground sublevels of the NVEs, we may manipulate the artificial reservoir by tuning the external driving fields. The TLR decay induces an artificial reservoir, which can drive the system to the desired entangled squeezed states. Our idea provides a scalable way to a NVE-based continuous-variable quantum-information processing, which is close to being achievable with currently available technology.

Nonlinear coupling between a nitrogen-vacancy-center ensemble and a superconducting qubit

Qiong Chen, Jun Wen, Wanli Yang +2 more

By exchange of virtual microwave photon induced by a transmission line resonator, the nonlinear interaction between a nitrogen-vacancy-center ensemble (NVE) and a superconducting charge qubit is achieved in circuit quantum electrodynamics, where the nonlinear coupling results from the second order of the coupling between the magnetic field of the transmission line resonator and the charge qubit. In our case, the nonlinear coupling can be much enhanced by a factor of the total spin number in the NVE. As an application, we present a potentially practical scheme to realize the squeezing of the NVE using the nonlinear coupling, which is within reach of the currently available technology.

Preparation of Macroscopic Entangled Coherent States in Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers Ensembles Coupled to a Superconducting Flux Qubit*

Liang-Wei Wang, Zhang-Cai Long

Abstract We propose a potentially practical scheme for creating macroscopic entangled coherent state between two separate nitrogen-vacancy center spin ensembles placed near a superconducting flux qubit. Through the collective magnetic coupling and the in situ tunability of the flux qubit, the arbitrary entangled coherent states of spin ensembles can be achieved with high success possibilities under the influence from decoherence of the flux qubit and spin ensembles. The experimental feasibility and challenge are justified using currently available technology.

High-fidelity quantum memory using nitrogen-vacancy center ensemble for hybrid quantum computation

W. L. Yang, Z. Q. Yin, Yong Hu +2 more

We study a hybrid quantum computing system using a nitrogen-vacancy center ensemble (NVE) as quantum memory, a current-biased Josephson junction (CBJJ) superconducting qubit fabricated in a transmission line resonator (TLR) as the quantum computing processor, and the microwave photons in TLR as the quantum data bus. The storage process is seriously treated by considering all kinds of decoherence mechanisms. Such a hybrid quantum device can also be used to create multiqubit $W$ states of NVEs through a common CBJJ. The experimental feasibility is achieved using currently available technology.

Preparation of N -Qubit GHZ State with a Hybrid Quantum System Based on Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers

Yu-Jing Zhao, Xi-Ming Fang, Fang Zhou +1 more

We propose a novel scheme for generating N-qubit GHZ entangled state with a hybrid quantum system, which consists of N nitrogen-vacancy centers, N transmission line resonators, a current-biased Josephson junction superconducting qubit, and three kinds of interaction Hamiltonians. The proposal requires no adjustment of the qubit level spacings during the entire operation. Moreover, it is shown that the operation time is independent of the number of qubits. The present proposal is quite useful, and is a promising step to realize the large-sized quantum networks for quantum information processing and quantum computation.
