Collective excitation, the leading technique for quantum information processing, suffers from limitations due to higher order excitations. We describe a blockade mechanism, based on light-shift imbalance in a Raman transition that eliminates this shortcoming.

Quantum communication and computing with atomic ensembles using a light-shift-imbalance-induced blockade

Recently, we have shown that for conditions under which the so-called light-shift imbalance induced blockade occurs, the collective excitation of an ensemble of a multilevel atom can be treated as a closed two-level system. In this paper, we describe how such a system can be used as a quantum bit (qubit) for quantum communication and quantum computing. Specifically, we show how to realize a controlled-NOT gate using the collective qubit and an easily accessible ring cavity, via an extension of the so-called Pellizzari scheme. We also describe how multiple, small-scale quantum computers realized using these qubits can be linked effectively for implementing a quantum internet. We describe the details of the energy levels and transitions in an $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ atom that could be used for implementing these schemes.

Rydberg excitation assisted light shift blockade in Rb atoms for realizing a collective state quantum bit and quantum memory

Yanfei Tu, May E. Kim, M. S. Shahriar

Previously, we had proposed the technique of light shift imbalance induced blockade which leads to a condition where a collection of non-interacting atoms under laser excitation remains combined to a superposition of the ground and the fist excited states, thus realizing a collective state quantum bit which in turn can be used to realize a quantum computer. In this paper, we show first that the light shift imbalance by itself is actually not enough to produce such a blockade, and explain the reason by the limitation of our previous analysis had reached this constraint. We then show that by introducing Rydberg interaction, it is possible to achieve such a blockade for a wide range of parameters. Analytic arguments used to establish these results are confirmed by numerical simulations. The fidelity of coupled quantum gates based on such collective state qubits is highly insensitive to the exact number of atoms in the ensemble. As such, this approach may prove be viable for scalable quantum computing based on neutral atoms.
