Protecting remote atomic entanglement against spontaneous emission by separated photonic pulses

Published Jun 26, 2015• 0 citations

Abstract

We study the entanglement dynamics between two spatially separated atoms trapped in two separate optical cavities. Based on cavity-assisted interactions between the atoms and separated photonic pulses, we propose a scheme for the implemention of a controlled-phase-flip gate (CPF gate) between each of the atoms and the photonic pulse to protect the remote atomic quantum entanglement against the decaying caused by spontaneous emission. What we need to do is to shoot the horizontally polarized photons onto the cavity mirror successively, plus a train of Hadamard operations on the atoms, and no measurement is needed here. It is shown that the quantum entanglement of the two remote atoms can be protected effectively in this way. We also extend our scheme to the case of weak coupling and low Q cavity cases. The simplicity of the current scheme may warrant its experimental realization.

Scalable Photonic Quantum Computation through Cavity-Assisted Interactions

Luming Duan, Harry J. Kimble

We propose a scheme for scalable photonic quantum computation based on cavity-assisted interaction between single-photon pulses. The prototypical quantum controlled phase-flip gate between the single-photon pulses is achieved by successively reflecting them from an optical cavity with a single-trapped atom. Our proposed protocol is shown to be robust to practical noise and experimental imperfections in current cavity-QED setups.

Quantum controlled-phase-flip gate between a flying optical photon and a Rydberg atomic ensemble

Yaming Hao, Guang Lin, Keyu Xia +3 more

Quantum controlled-phase-flip (CPF) gate between a flying photon qubit and a stationary atomic qubit could allow the linking of distant computational nodes in a quantum network. Here we present a scheme to realize quantum CPF gate between a flying optical photon and an atomic ensemble based on cavity input-output process and Rydberg blockade. When a flying single-photon pulse is reflected off the cavity containing a Rydberg atomic ensemble, the dark resonance and Rydberg blockade induce a conditional phase shift for the photon pulse, thus we can achieve the CPF gate between the photon and the atomic ensemble. Assisted by Rydberg blockade interaction, our scheme works in the N-atoms strong-coupling regime and significantly relaxes the requirement of strong coupling of single atom to photon in the optical cavity.

One scheme for remote quantum logical gates with the assistance of a classical field

Yan‐Ling Li, Mao-Fa Fang, Zeng Ke

A scheme, based on the two two-level atoms resonantly driven by the classical field separately trapped in two cavities coupled by an optical fibre, for the implementation of remote two-qubit gates is investigated. It is found that the quantum controlled-phase and swap gates can be achieved with the assistance of the classical field when there are detunings of the coupling quantum fields. Moreover, the influence of the dissipation of the cavities and the optical fibre is analysed while the spontaneous emission of the atoms can be effectively suppressed by introducing λ-type atoms.

Conditional quantum controlled-phase gate between distant atoms in optical cavities

Dingguo Li

A scheme is proposed to implement a quantum controlled-phase gate between two four-level atoms inside the different optical cavities.The scheme combines the advantage of scalability from the photon and power of strong atom-photon coupling,which yields the desired unitary evolution operation. The scheme is immune to decoherence due to cavity photon decay and atomic spontaneous emission,and the operation is implemented probabilistically with a very high fidelity.

Conditional quantum phase gate using distant atoms and linear optics

Xu‐Bo Zou, Wolfgang M. Mathis

A scheme is proposed to implement a conditional quantum phase gate between atoms trapped in spatially separated cavities. Instead of direct interaction between atoms, quantum interference of polarized photons decayed from the optical cavities is used to realize the desired quantum operation between two distant atoms. The scheme requires a twofold coincidence detection, and is insensitive to the imperfection of the photon detectors.

A distributed quantum phase gate via quantum Zeno dynamics

Li-Tuo Shen, Rongxin Chen, Xinyu Chen +1 more

With the quantum Zeno dynamics, we present a scheme for realizing a quantum phase gate for two atoms trapped in two separate cavities connected by an optical fiber. Compared with the previous schemes, quantum Zeno dynamics shows different evolution properties in the atom–cavity–fiber system. The scheme needs only one step to perform the gate, which largely reduces the complexity of the experiment. We also numerically simulate the influence of photon leakage and atomic spontaneous emission on the fidelity of the phase gate. The result shows that our scheme is very robust against cavity decay and very promising for realization with current experimental technology.
