Quantum control using genetic algorithms in quantum communication: superdense coding

Abstract

We present a physical example model of how Quantum Control with genetic algorithms is applied to implement the quantum superdense code protocol. We studied a model consisting of two quantum dots with an electron with spin, including spin-orbit interaction. The electron and the spin get hybridized with the site acquiring two degrees of freedom, spin and charge. The system has tunneling and site energies as time dependent control parameters that are optimized by means of genetic algorithms to prepare a hybrid Bell-like state used as a transmission channel. This state is transformed to obtain any state of the four Bell basis as required by superdense protocol to transmit two bits of classical information. The control process protocol is equivalent to implement one of the quantum gates in the charge subsystem. Fidelities larger than 99.5% are achieved for the hybrid entangled state preparation and the superdense operations.

Quantum Control Mechanisms of Superdense Coding

Sergey Valentinovich Bezzateev, Фомичева Светлана Григорьевна, G. A. Zhemelev

Control frames in quantum schemes for superdense coding are considered. A generalized solution is proposed for quantum control schemes that allow long (n-bit) sequences to be transmitted using a single qubit. The results of experiments on the implementation of quantum circuits controlled by both qubits and classical bits in hybrid communication networks are presented.

Mathematical Analysis of Quantum Superdense Coding Based on Entangled States

Petro A. Kravets

The aim of the research is the mathematical analysis of quantum superdense coding based on quantum entanglement to increase the efficiency and reliability of information transmission in quantum communication systems. The essence of quantum superdense coding is the ability to transmit two classical bits of information using one qubit, which is part of an entangled pair. The fundamental principles of the superdense quantum coding method are considered. The relevance of the research in the context of the development of secure quantum communications and optimization of information transmission in quantum networks is substantiated. A review of modern scientific publications devoted to the theoretical principles of superdense coding is conducted, which indicate the development potential and practical prospects of this direction of quantum informatics. The analysis of mathematical modeling of quantum superdense encoding and decoding is performed using two alternative approaches – projective measurement in the Bell basis and the inverse Bell transform. It is shown that both approaches allow for the complete recovery of classical information transmitted using entangled quantum states. The advantage of the inverse Bell transform is the simplicity of implementation on quantum devices, the flexibility and accuracy of information processing, and the possibility of scaling, which makes it a reasonable choice in many practical applications. The influence of noise and decoherence on the efficiency of superdense coding has been studied, which is a critical factor in the practical implementation of this method in real quantum systems. A mathematical model of data transmission through a quantum channel under the action of additive white noise has been constructed. An analytical dependence of the probability of correct information recovery on the noise level has been established, which allows us to estimate the limits of reliability of superdense coding in noisy environments. Based on the research, the prospects for the practical application of superdense coding in quantum communication networks, in particular the quantum Internet, as well as in quantum computing and information security systems, have been outlined. The results obtained contribute to the further development of quantum technologies and can be used to create new protocols for highly efficient quantum data transmission.

Genetic Algorithm for Searching Bipolar Single-Flux-Quantum Pulse Sequences for Qubit Control

M. V. Bastrakova, D. S. Kulandin, Tetyana V. Laptyeva +2 more

Nowadays most of superconducting quantum processors use charge qubits of a transmon type. They require implementation of energy efficient qubit state control scheme. A promising approach is the use of superconducting digital circuits operating with single-flux-quantum (SFQ) pulses. The duration of SFQ pulse control sequence is typically larger than that of conventional microwave drive pulses but its length can be optimized for the system with known parameters. Here we introduce a genetic algorithm for unipolar or bipolar SFQ control sequence search that minimize qubit state leakage from the computational subspace. The algorithm is also able to find a solution in the form of a repeating subsequence in order to save memory on the control chip. Its parallel implementation can find the appropriate sequence for arbitrary system parameters from a practical range in a reasonable time. The algorithm is illustrated by the example of the rotation gate around the Y-axis by an angle $$\pi/2$$ with fidelity over 99.99 $$\%$$ . In this paper, we present the results for a single-qubit system, but in the future we will apply the developed approach to study a system of two qubits.

Exploring the Scalability and Error Tolerance of N-Qubit Superdense Coding

Heinz, Benjamin

Superdense coding is a quantum communication protocol that enables the transmission of more than one classical bit of information per qubit, using entangled states. While superdense coding with 2-qubits is well understood and directly maps to the Bell states, the same cannot be said for higher numbers of qubits. This project aims to develop an algorithm for superdense coding using a larger number of qubits, while analyzing how the capacity for information transmission scales with qubit count. Additionally, we will determine the error thresholds for accurately reconstructing the encoded information and investigate how error scales as the number of qubits increases. Gaining a deeper understanding of superdense coding has significant applications in quantum cryptography, as superdense coding schemes can be used to set up quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocols.

Genetic Algorithm for Searching Single-Flux-Quantum Pulse Sequences for Two-Qubit Quantum Operation

M. V. Bastrakova, Vsevolod A. Vozhakov, N. V. Klenov +4 more

Today, most superconducting quantum processors are based on transmons, the modifications of charge qubits. Traditional transmon control schemes for implementing high-fidelity quantum gates are based on the analog microwave signals. Current problems with this type of control are bulkiness, high cost, and unwanted feedback from the microwave equipment, which increases with the number of qubits involved. A promising breakthrough is the use of superconducting digital circuits operating with picosecond (single flux quantum or SFQ) pulses. In our previous work, we have shown how to use SFQ control sequences to implement the rotation of a qubit at rest on the Bloch sphere around the Y-axis by an angle $$\pi/2$$ with fidelity better than 99.99 $$\%$$ . The next important step is to implement two-qubit operations. Here we present the Genetic Algorithm for SFQ Control Sequence Search, which implements the original control protocol using the ZX operation as an example. The algorithm also takes into account the leakage to the higher energy states of the system. Its parallel implementation can find the appropriate sequence for arbitrary system parameters from a practical range in a reasonable time. As a result of numerical experiments, control sequences were found that implement the ZX operation with 0.999 target level population.

Superdense coding for quantum networking environments

Travis S. Humble

Quantum networks provide a versatile infrastructure for communication, computing, and sensing with quantum information. Novel sources and detectors for transmitting and receiving quantum states are critical elements in the development and eventual deployment of robust quantum networks. Alongside performance, the compatibility of quantum network devices with modern networking infrastructure is an important requirement for deployment. We present results on the integration of quantum communication using superdense coding transmitted over optical fiber links into network environments. Our approach takes advantage of a novel complete Bell-state measurement setup that relies on hyper-entanglement in the temporal and polarization degrees of freedom for a two-photon state emitted from a quantum light source. Using linear optics and common single-photon detectors, we record a single-qubit channel capacity of 1.665±0.018. We then demonstrate a full experimental implementation of hybrid, quantum-classical communication protocol for image transfer applications. Our devices integrate with existing fiber optical network and software-defined transmitters and receivers as part of a modular design to provide an extensible quantum communication system that can adapt to future quantum technology goals.
