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

Abstract

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.

Efficient scheme for multipartite entanglement and quantum information processing with trapped ions

Wen‐Xing Yang, Zhiming Zhan, Jiahua Li

In this paper, based on the recent experiment by Roos et al. [Science 304, 1478 (2004)], a theoretical scheme is proposed to create the multipartite entanglement of many trapped ions and implement a two-qubit quantum phase gate between two ions in ion trap. In the scheme, the ion is illuminated by a single laser tuned to the first lower vibrational sideband. We also show that the scheme can be used to directly transfer information between two ions. The scheme has the advantage that it does not use the vibrational mode as the data bus and only requires a single resonant interaction. Thus the scheme is very simple and the quantum dynamics operation can be realized at a high speed. In view of the decoherence mechanism, the simplification for the entangled state preparation and experimental implementation of quantum logic operation may become crucial.

Quantum logic gates with two-level trapped ions beyond Lamb–Dicke limit

Zheng Xiao-Juan, Luo Yi-Min, Cai Jian-Wu

In the system with two two-level ions confined in a linear trap, this paper presents a simple scheme to realize the quantum phase gate (QPG) and the swap gate beyond the Lamb–Dicke (LD) limit. These two-qubit quantum logic gates only involve the internal states of two trapped ions. The scheme does not use the vibrational mode as the data bus and only requires a single resonant interaction of the ions with the lasers. Neither the LD approximation nor the auxiliary atomic level is needed in the proposed scheme. Thus the scheme is simple and the interaction time is very short, which is important in view of decoherence. The experimental feasibility for achieving this scheme is also discussed.

A scheme of quantum phase gate for trapped ion

Cai Jian-Wu, Mao-Fa Fang, Zheng Xiao-Juan +1 more

We propose a scheme to implement two-qubit controlled quantum phase gate(CQPG) via a single trapped two-level ion located in the standing wave field of a quantum cavity, in which the trap works beyond the Lamb–Dicke limit. When the light field is resonant with the atomic transition |g > ↔ |e> of the ion located at the antinode of the standing wave, we can perform CQPG between the internal and external states of the trapped ion; while the frequency of the light field is chosen to be resonant with the first red sideband of the collective vibrational mode of the ion located at the node of the standing wave, we can perform CQPG between the cavity mode and the collective vibrational mode of the trapped ion. Neither the Lamb–Dicke approximation nor the assistant classical laser is needed. Also we can generate a GHZ state if assisted with a classical laser.

Generation of entangled states of multiple trapped ions in thermal motion

Shi-Biao Zheng

A scheme is presented for generating entangled states of the $\mathrm{W}$ type for trapped ions in thermal motion. In the scheme the ions are simultaneously excited by a laser. Our scheme is insensitive to both the initial motional state and heating as long as the system remains in the Lamb-Dicke regime.

High-speed geometric quantum phase gates for trapped ions in thermal motion

Shi‐Biao Zheng

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 computation with two-level trapped cold ions beyond Lamb-Dicke limit

L. F. Wei, S. Y. Liu, X. L. Lei

We propose a simple scheme for implementing quantum logic gates with a string of two-level trapped cold ions outside the Lamb-Dicke limit. Two internal states of each ion are used as one computational qubit (CQ) and the collective vibration of ions acts as the information bus, i.e., the bus qubit (BQ). Using the quantum dynamics for the laser-ion interaction as described by a generalized Jaynes-Cummings model, we show that quantum entanglement between any one CQ and the BQ can be coherently manipulated by applying classical laser beams. As a result, universal quantum gates, i.e., the one-qubit rotation and two-qubit controlled gates, can be implemented exactly. The required experimental parameters for the implementation, including the Lamb-Dicke (LD) parameter and the durations of the applied laser pulses, are derived. Neither the LD approximation for the laser-ion interaction nor the auxiliary atomic level is needed in the present scheme.
