Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation, focusing mainly on implementing universal single- and two-qubit gates, commonly suffers gate fidelity losses inevitably due to the presence of systematic errors. Here we propose to realize fast holonomic multiqubit controlled~(C
N-NOT) Rydberg atom gates. Uniquely, the gate time is independent of the control qubit number
N. We show that the fast gate is largely immune to laser parameter fluctuations and motional dephasing. The high tolerance of systematic errors can be further enhanced through optimal pulse engineering. The proposed protocol is intrinsically different from typical schemes based on Rydberg blockade or antiblockade, and moreover can be implemented alternatively with superconducting circuits. Our study paves a new way to build robust multiqubit gates with Rydberg atoms trapped in optical arrays or superconducting circuits, and hence contributes to current efforts in developing scalable quantum computation with trapped atoms and fabricable superdonducting devices.
We develop schemes for designing pulses that implement fast and precise entangling quantum gates in superconducting qubit systems despite the presence of nearby harmful transitions. Our approach is based on purposely involving the nearest harmful transition in the quantum evolution instead of trying to avoid it. Using analytical tools, we design simple microwave control fields that implement maximally entangling gates with fidelities exceeding 99% in times as low as 40 ns. We demonstrate our approach in a two-qubit circuit QED system by designing the two most important quantum entangling gates: a conditional-not gate and a conditional-z gate. Our results constitute an important step toward overcoming the problem of spectral crowding, one of the primary challenges in controlling multiqubit systems.
Motivated by the recent experimental progress in exploring the use of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond as a quantum computing platform, we propose schemes for fast and high-fidelity entangling gates on this platform. Using both analytical and numerical calculations, we demonstrate that synchronization effects between resonant and off-resonant transitions may be exploited such that spin-flip errors due to strong driving may be eliminated by adjusting the gate time or the driving field. This allows for fast, high-fidelity entangling operations between the electron spin and one or several nuclear spins. We investigate a two-qubit system where the NV center comprises a N 15 atom and a qubit-qutrit system for the case of a N 14 atom. In both cases, we predict a complete suppression of off-resonant driving errors for two-qubit gates when addressing the NV electron spin conditioned on states of nuclear spins of the nitrogen atom of the defect. Additionally, we predict fidelities > 0.99 for multiqubit gates when including the surrounding C 13 atoms in the diamond lattice in the conditioned logic.
