We introduce the general definition of the unconventional geometric phase independent of the specific physical system and show how a highly squeezed operator can approximately induce the general unconventional geometric phase, which goes beyond the original unconventional one by displacement operators (Zhu and Wang 2003 Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 187902). By means of the squeezed operator concerning the cavity mode state along a closed path in the phase space, we discuss specifically how to implement approximately a two-qubit geometric phase gate in a cavity QED system with two-photon interaction between the atoms and the cavity mode, assisted by a classical field. Discussions regarding the implementation time of the gating, the possible decaying sources and the experimental feasibility are given in detail.

We propose a scheme for realizing two-qubit quantum phase gates via an unconventional geometric phase shift with atoms in a cavity. In the scheme the atoms interact simultaneously with a highly detuned cavity mode and a classical field. The atoms undergo no transitions during the gate operation, while the cavity mode is displaced along a circle in the phase space, aquiring a geometric phase conditional upon the atomic state. Under certain conditions, the atoms are disentangled with the cavity mode and thus the gate is insensitive to both the atomic spontaneous emission and the cavity decay.
