Physical Review A

Abstract

We suggest a fast two-qubit quantum logic gates for trapped ions in thermal motion via geometric phase shifts. In the scheme, several vibrational modes are simultaneously displaced by driving the ions with a single off-resonant standing-wave laser. Under certain conditions, all the vibrational modes simultaneously return to the original points in the phase spaces along corresponding closed paths depending on the electronic states, producing a geometric phase gate. During the gate operation, the ions undergo no electronic transitions and the gate time might be shorter than the period of the center-of-mass vibration.

Quantum Logic Gates for Hot Ions without a Speed Limitation

Shi-Biao Zheng

We propose a scheme for realizing two-qubit quantum phase gates with trapped ions in thermal motion. In the scheme, the ions are simultaneously illuminated by a standing-wave laser tuned to the carrier, which virtually excites several vibrational modes. The scheme puts no limitations on the intensity of the laser field, allowing the production of a quantum logic gate for hot ions with an arbitrarily high speed as long as a laser field of sufficiently high intensity is available.

Generation of Quantum Phase Gates via an Unconventional Geometric Phase Shift in an Ion-Trap System

Ying-Qiao Zhang, Jin Xing-Ri, Shou Zhang +1 more

We propose a scheme to generate a quantum phase gate via an unconventional geometric phase shift in an ion-trap system.Since the gate time is only related to the frequency of the vibrational mode, the present scheme, based on the resonant interaction of the trapped ions with a standing-wave laser beam, requires a much shorter gate time than the scheme based on the resonant interaction of the atoms and the cavity.Also the heating effect of the vibrational mode is negligible under certain conditions.

A scheme for the implementation of unconventional geometric phase gates with trapped ions

Hong Xie, LI Hong-cai, Rong‐Can Yang +2 more

We propose a scheme for the realization of unconventional geometric two-qubit phase gates with two identical two-level ions. In the present scheme, the two ions are simultaneously illuminated by a standing-wave laser pulse with its pulse frequency being tuned to the ionic transition. The gate operation time can be much shorter, making the system robust against decoherence. In addition, we choose the appropriate experimental parameters to construct the geometric phase gate in one step, and thus avoid implementing the pure geometric single qubit operation.

Cluster States from Quantum Logic Gates with Trapped Ions in Thermal Motion

Wen‐Xing Yang, Zhiming Zhan, Jiahua Li

Following the recent proposal by Briegel et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 86 (2001) 910], a procedure is proposed for one-step realizing quantum control phase gates with two trapped ions in thermal motion. It is shown that the scheme can also be used to create a new special type of entangled states, i.e., cluster states of many trapped ions. In the scheme the two-trapped ions are simultaneously excited by a single laser beam and the frequency of the laser beam is slightly off resonance with the first lower vibration sideband of the trapped ions. The distinct advantage of the scheme is that it does not use the vibrational mode as the data bus. Furthermore, our scheme is insensitive to both the initial motional state and heating (or decay) as long as the system remains in the Lamb–Dicke regime.

High-Speed Geometric Quantum Computation with Trapped Thermal Ions via Vibrational Mode Decay

Changyong Chen

We utilize the general displacement operator proposed recently [C.Y. Chen, et al., Phys. Rev. A 74 (2006) 032328] to investigate a high-speed geometric quantum computation via vibrational mode decay of two trapped thermal ions. We find that, under some special conditions, the geometric phase gating is somewhat faster in the heating case than in the ideal case. We also investigate analytically the influence from the vibrational mode heating on the fidelity and the success probability of the implementation.

Light-Shift-Induced Quantum Gates for Ions in Thermal Motion

Daniel Jonathan, Martin Bodo Plenio

An effective interaction between trapped ions in thermal motion can be generated by illuminating them simultaneously with a single laser resonant with the ionic carrier frequency. The ac Stark shift induces simultaneous "virtual" two-phonon transitions via several motional modes. Within a certain laser intensity range these transitions can interfere constructively, resulting in a relatively fast, heating-resistant two-qubit logic gate.
