We present a simple scheme for a universal two-bit quantum logic gate using circular Rydberg atoms and a superconducting millimeter-wave cavity. We analyze in detail the performances of this gate, using the parameters of an experiment currently under way in our laboratory.
We present a simple protocol and quantum circuit for efficient implementation of the N-bit discrete quantum Fourier transform by using two-qubit controlled-NOT gate and SWCZ gate that is a combination of -SWAP and controlled-Z gates in cavity quantum electrodynamics. In this protocol long-lived electronic states in circular Rydberg atoms are used as quantum bits and the one-bit and two-bit quantum gate operations required for implementing the discrete quantum Fourier transform in the quantum circuit can be easily achieved with atom–microwave resonant interaction and atom–cavity interaction occurring only between two nearest-neighbour atoms. We present the detailed experimental procedure and analyse the experimental feasibility.
A feasible scheme for constructing quantum logic gates is proposed on the basis of quantum switches in cavity QED. It is shown that the light field which is fed into the cavity due to the passage of an atom in a certain state can be used to manipulate the conditioned quantum logical gate. In our scheme, the quantum information is encoded in the states of Rydberg atoms and the cavity mode is not used as logical qubits or as a communicating “bus”; thus, the effect of atomic spontaneous emission can be neglected and the strict requirements for the cavity can be relaxed.
