Preparation of High‐Fidelity Entangled Cat States with Composite Pulses

Ge‐Ge Gu, Dong-Sheng Li, Ye‐Hong Chen +2 more

Abstract A protocol is proposed for the preparation of high‐fidelity entangled cat states with composite pulses. The physical model contains two Kerr‐nonlinear resonators and a cavity. By properly designing the parameters, each Kerr‐nonlinear resonator is confined in the cat‐state subspace and the entangled cat states can be generated efficiently. Composite two‐photon drives are introduced with multiple amplitudes and frequencies to improve the fidelity of the entangled cat states in the presence of parameter errors. The performance of the protocol is estimated by taking into account the parametric errors and decoherence. Numerical simulation results show that, the protocol is robustness to timing error, detuning error, and decoherence. It is hoped that the protocol may provide a method for preparing stable entangled cat states.

Engineering the quantum states of light in a Kerr-nonlinear resonator by two-photon driving

Shruti Puri, Samuel Boutin, Alexandre Blais

Abstract Photonic cat states stored in high-Q resonators show great promise for hardware efficient universal quantum computing. We propose an approach to efficiently prepare such cat states in a Kerr-nonlinear resonator by the use of a two-photon drive. Significantly, we show that this preparation is robust against single-photon loss. An outcome of this observation is that a two-photon drive can eliminate undesirable phase evolution induced by a Kerr nonlinearity. By exploiting the concept of transitionless quantum driving, we moreover demonstrate how non-adiabatic initialization of cat states is possible. Finally, we present a universal set of quantum logical gates that can be performed on the engineered eigenspace of such a two-photon driven resonator and discuss a possible realization using superconducting circuits. The robustness of the engineered subspace to higher-order circuit nonlinearities makes this implementation favorable for scalable quantum computation.
