Abstract

A complete geometric manipulation of universal single qubit operation on a two-level cold ensemble of sodium atoms was demonstrated using a combination of geometric rotations of the Bloch vector around axes 2 and 3.

Demonstration of pure geometric universal single-qubit operation on two-level atoms

Hiromitsu Imai, Atsuo Morinaga

With carefully prepared resonant laser-controlled pulses, the two quantum states of a cold ensemble of sodium atoms were manipulated by pure geometric rotations of the Bloch vector around axes 2 and 3 on the Bloch sphere. The fidelity for two geometric rotations was improved to be 90%. A universal single-qubit operation on the ground-state wave function was demonstrated by a pure geometric operation and the phase shift due to the rotation around axis 3 was measured using a geometric atom interferometer.

Realization of Robust Single-Qubit Operations with Purely Geometric Phase Factors

Kenji Toyoda, Kensuke Uchida, Shinsuke Haze +1 more

Single-qubit operations in a single trapped ion are performed by means of purely geometrical phase factors. Multiple dark states in a four-level (“tripod”) system are manipulated adiabatically to perform the gate operations. Rotation operations along Z and X axes in the Bloch sphere are performed with high fringe visibilities.

Geometric manipulation of the quantum states of two-level atoms

Ming Tian, Zeb W. Barber, Joe A. Fischer +1 more

Manipulation of the quantum states of two-level atoms has been investigated using laser-controlled geometric phase change, which has the potential to build robust quantum logic gates for quantum computing. For a qubit based on two electronic transition levels of an atom, two basic quantum operations that can make any universal single qubit gate have been designed employing resonant laser pulses. An operation equivalent to a phase gate has been demonstrated using ${\mathrm{Tm}}^{3+}$ doped in a yttrium aluminum garnet crystal.

Geometric manipulation of the population probability of two-level atoms and hybrid unitary operations of quantum states

Hiromitsu Imai, Atsuo Morinaga

The quantum states of cold ensemble of two-level atoms were rotated around axis 2 on the Bloch sphere geometrically using a laser-controlled resonant pulse sequence with pulse areas of $\ensuremath{\pi}∕2$, $\ensuremath{\pi}$, and $\ensuremath{\pi}∕2$, whose central pulse has a relative phase difference of $\ensuremath{\pi}+\ensuremath{\delta}∕2$. It was ascertained that the population probability of the excited state varies according to a sinusoidal function of $\ensuremath{\delta}$ within an uncertainty of 1%. Hybrid operations of two-level atoms were realized combining the geometrical operation with the Rabi excitation around axis 2 or the time evolution around axis 3.
