Graphene-based room-temperature implementation of a modified Deutsch–Jozsa quantum algorithm

Abstract

We present an implementation of a one-qubit and two-qubit modified Deutsch-Jozsa quantum algorithm based on graphene ballistic devices working at room temperature. The modified Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm decides whether a function, equivalent to the effect of an energy potential distribution on the wave function of ballistic charge carriers, is constant or not, without measuring the output wave function. The function need not be Boolean. Simulations confirm that the algorithm works properly, opening the way toward quantum computing at room temperature based on the same clean-room technologies as those used for fabrication of very-large-scale integrated circuits.

Wafer-Scale Fabrication and Room-Temperature Experiments on Graphene-Based Gates for Quantum Computation

Mircea Dragoman, Adrian M. Dinescu, Daniela Dragoman

We have fabricated at wafer-scale graphene-based configurations suitable for implementing at room temperature one-qubit quantum gates and a modified Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm. Our measurements confirmed the (quasi-)ballistic nature of charge carrier propagation through both types of devices, which have dimensions smaller than the room-temperature mean-free-path in graphene. As such, both graphene-based configurations were found to be suitable for quantum computation. These results are encouraging for demonstrating a miniaturized, room-temperature quantum computer based on graphene.

Quantum computing with graphene devices

Daniela Dragoman

Quantum computing is expected to increase significantly the computational speed since it operates on completely different principles in comparison to classical computers. Quantum computing can be implemented in small, nano-sized systems, such as trapped atom or ions, spin states, superconductors or conductors in the ballistic transport regime. In particular, graphene is a suitable material for implementing quantum logic gates due to its large room-temperature mean free path. Several graphene-based configurations of quantum gates such as Hadamard, C-phase, C-NOT, and universal Toffoli gates, as well as of a modified Deutsch-Jozsa quantum algorithm are presented in this paper. In all cases, the quantum logic circuits operate at room temperature and the readout procedure implies current measurements only.

Quantum logic gates based on ballistic transport in graphene

Daniela Dragoman, Mircea Dragoman

The paper presents various configurations for the implementation of graphene-based Hadamard, C-phase, controlled-NOT, and Toffoli gates working at room temperature. These logic gates, essential for any quantum computing algorithm, involve ballistic graphene devices for qubit generation and processing and can be fabricated using existing nanolithographical techniques. All quantum gate configurations are based on the very large mean-free-paths of carriers in graphene at room temperature.

Quantum Computing in Graphene

Daniela Dragoman

Quantum computing, based on different principles than classical computing, has raised high expectations regarding the increase of computational speed in nano-sized quantum systems. Therefore, the search for implementations of quantum logic gates in photons, spin states, atom/ion traps or superconducting materials, for example, is a very active research area. Graphene has demonstrated already the possibility of implementing reversible logic gates, therefore becoming a compelling candidate for quantum computing applications. The paper presents several proposals of quantum logic gates implementation in graphene, which could work at room temperature and require only current measurements as readout procedures; examples of such quantum gates are Hadamard, C-NOT, C-phase and Toffoli gates. Besides these gates, it is shown that quantum algorithms, such as the modified Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm, can be implemented also in graphene.

Room-Temperature Implementation of the Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm with a Single Electronic Spin in Diamond

The nitrogen-vacancy defect center (N-V center) is a promising candidate for quantum information processing due to the possibility of coherent manipulation of individual spins in the absence of the cryogenic requirement. We report a room-temperature implementation of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm by encoding both a qubit and an auxiliary state in the electron spin of a single N-V center. By thus exploiting the specific S=1 character of the spin system, we demonstrate how even scarce quantum resources can be used for test-bed experiments on the way towards a large-scale quantum computing architecture.
