Abstract

Based on the shortcuts to adiabatic passage, we propose a scheme for directly implementing a controlled-not (CNOT) gate in a cavity quantum electrodynamics system. Moreover, we generalize the scheme to realize a CNOT gate in two separate cavities connected by an optical fiber. The strictly numerical simulation shows that the schemes are fast and insensitive to the decoherence caused by atomic spontaneous emission and photon leakage. In addition, the schemes can provide a theoretical basis for the manipulation of the multiqubit quantum gates in distant nodes of a quantum network.

Fast CNOT gate between two spatially separated atoms via shortcuts to adiabatic passage

Yan Liang, Chong Song, Xin Ji +1 more

Quantum logic gate is indispensable to quantum computation. One of the important qubit operations is the quantum controlled-not (CNOT) gate that performs a NOT operation on a target qubit depending on the state of the control qubit. In this paper we present a scheme to realize the quantum CNOT gate between two spatially separated atoms via shortcuts to adiabatic passage. The influence of various decoherence processes on the fidelity is discussed. The strict numerical simulation results show that the fidelity for the CNOT gate is relatively high.

Fast CNOT gate via quantum Zeno dynamics

Xiao‐Qiang Shao, Li Chen, Shou Zhang +1 more

Based on the quantum Zeno dynamics, we propose two approaches for directly implementing a CNOT gate in a cavity QED system instead of constructing it from elementary gates. The first approach works in the decoherence-free subspaces (DFS) due to the quantum Zeno effect, which is robust against cavity decay. Based on the first model, we then propose the second approach which takes advantage of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) with only six pulses; thus it is insensitive to the atomic spontaneous emission. The two schemes are suitable for different decoherence parameters. The strictly numerical simulation shows that the average gate fidelities for the two methods are relatively high.

Robust SWAP gate on two distant atoms through virtual excitations and transitionless quantum driving

Xianghong Ge, Xuehua Zhang, Xingxing Ding +2 more

Abstract We propose a scheme for implementing robust SWAP gate on two distant atoms that are confined in two spatially separated single-mode optical cavities connected by an optical fiber. The SWAP gate cannot be attained by using adiabatic passage for such a physical model, but we achieve it by following transitionless quantum driving, a method of shortcuts to adiabatic passage. In addition, during the execution of the SWAP gate, none of two atoms, two cavities and the fiber is excited, and thus the virtual excitations of the fiber-cavity-atom system make the scheme very robust against the atomic spontaneous radiation and the decay of the cavities and the fiber. Numerical simulations show that the SWAP gate can be attained with high fidelity, and the present scheme is insensitive to the control errors of various parameters. The scheme may have potential applications in distributed quantum computing and quantum information process in a quantum network.

Implementation of Controlled‐NOT Gate by Lyapunov Control

Shuai Liu, Du Ran, Zhi‐Cheng Shi +2 more

Abstract A scheme to implement the controlled‐NOT (CNOT) gate for quantum systems is proposed, which is based on Lyapunov control. The scheme does not require precise control of the interaction time since the system is stable when the control fields vanish. In particular, the control fields can be easily obtained by most initial states. As an example, the CNOT gate is realized for two atoms trapped in an optical cavity by exploiting two disturbance cases. Compared to continuous disturbance, the fidelity of the CNOT gate is higher under impulsive disturbance, however, interaction times are much longer. Numerical simulations indicate that the scheme is robust against variations of control parameters and decoherence caused by atomic spontaneous emission and cavity decay. Therefore, the scheme may provide useful applications in quantum computation.

Shortcuts to adiabatic passage for multiqubit controlled-phase gate

Yan Liang, Qi‐Cheng Wu, Shi‐Lei Su +2 more

We propose an alternative scheme of shortcuts to a quantum controlled phase gate in a much shorter time based on the approach of Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants in cavity quantum electrodynamics systems. This scheme can be used to perform a one-qubit phase gate, a two-qubit controlled phase gate, as well as a multiqubit controlled phase gate. The strict numerical simulations demonstrate that the total operation time for implementing controlled phase gates is much shorter than previous schemes and very robust against decoherence.

Controllable and fast quantum-information transfer between distant nodes in two-dimensional networks

Zhi‐Rong Zhong

We construct shortcuts to adiabatic passage to achieve controllable and fast quantum-information transfer (QIT) between arbitrary two distant nodes in a two-dimensional (2D) quantum network. Through suitable designing of time-dependent Rabi frequencies, we show that perfect QIT between arbitrary two distant nodes can be rapidly achieved. Numerical simulations demonstrate that the proposal is robust to the decoherence caused by atomic spontaneous emission and cavity photon leakage. Additionally, the proposed scheme is also insensitive to the variations of the experimental parameters. Thus, the proposed scheme provides a new perspective on robust quantum information processing in 2D quantum networks.
