Abstract
Using two cyclic three-level artificial atoms, we propose a scheme for realizing two-qubit quantum phase gates via an unconventional geometric phase shift in a cavity. In this scheme, the excited states of the two artificial atoms are adiabatically eliminated, and the logical gates' operation only involves their metastable states. Moreover, under certain conditions, the artificial atoms are disentangled with the cavity mode. Thus the gate is insensitive to both the cavity decay and the spontaneous emission of the artificial atoms.
