Abstract The construction of a near‐deterministic photonic hyperparallel quantum Fredkin (hyper‐Fredkin) gate is investigated for a three‐photon system with the optical property of a diamond nitrogen vacancy center embedded in an optical cavity (cavity‐NV center system). This hyper‐Fredkin gate can be used to perform double Fredkin gate operations on both the polarization and spatial‐mode degrees of freedom (DOFs) of a three‐photon system with a near‐unit success probability, compared with those on the double three‐photon systems in one DOF. In this proposal, the hybrid quantum logic gate operations are the key elements of the hyper‐Fredkin gate, and only two cavity‐NV center systems are required. Moreover, the possibility of constructing a high‐fidelity and high‐efficiency hyper‐Fredkin gate in the experimental environment of a cavity‐NV center system is discussed, which may be used to implement high‐fidelity photonic computational tasks in two DOFs with a high efficiency.

Encoding computing qubits in multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs) of a photonic system allows hyperparallel quantum computation to enlarge channel capacity with less quantum resource, and constructing high-fidelity hyperparallel quantum gates is always recognized as a fundamental prerequisite for hyperparallel quantum computation. Herein, we propose an approach for implementing a high-fidelity photonic hyperparallel controlled-phase-flip (CPF) gate working with polarization, spatial-mode, and frequency DOFs, through utilizing the practical interaction between the single photon and the diamond nitrogen vacancy (NV) center embedded in the cavity. Particularly, the desired output state of the gate without computation errors coming from the practical interaction is obtained, and the robust fidelity is guaranteed in the nearly realistic condition. Meanwhile, the requirement for the experimental realization of the gate is relaxed. In addition, this approach can be generalized to complete the high-fidelity photonic three-DOF hyperparallel CPFN gate and parity-check gate. These interesting features may make the present scheme have potential for applications in the hyperparallel quantum computation.
Under the balance condition of the diamond nitrogen vacancy center embedded in an optical cavity as a result of cavity quantum electrodynamics, we present a robust hyperparallel photonic controlled-phase-flip gate for a two-photon system in both the polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom (DOFs), in which the noise caused by the inequality of two reflection coefficients can be depressed efficiently. This gate doubles the quantum entangling operation synchronously on a photon system and can reduce the quantum resources consumed largely and depress the photonic dissipation efficiently, compared with the two cascade quantum entangling gates in one DOF. It has a near unit fidelity. Moreover, we show that the balance condition can be obtained in both the weak coupling regime and the strong coupling regime, and the high-fidelity quantum gate operation is easier to be realized in the balance condition than the ones in the ideal condition in experiment.
Abstract By harnessing weak cross‐Kerr nonlinearities, it proposes two deterministic hyperparallel quantum control gates, including the hyperparallel controlled‐NOT (hyper‐CNOT) gate and hyperparallel Fredkin (hyper‐Fredkin) gate for photonic systems in the polarization and spatial degrees of freedom (DoFs), which are composed of two procedures for the implementations of the first polarized control (CNOT and Fredkin) gates and the second spatial control (CNOT and Fredkin) ones in turn. Moreover, compared with the two two‐photon CNOT gates (three‐photon Fredkin gates) in one DoF, the hyper‐CNOT (hyper‐Fredkin) gate is provided with more straightforward quantum circuits, lower computational costs of resource overhead (without the assistance of single photons or entangled states), less cross‐Kerr nonlinear interactions between three photons and the coherent states, and reduces the effect caused by photon‐loss noise. The success probabilities of two quantum control gates are approximated unit by performing the corresponding classical feed‐forward operations based on the different measuring outcomes of the X‐homodyne detectors to be aimed at the coherent states, and they are robust against the photon loss as well, which are feasible with the current technology and convenient in practical applications.
We present the dipole induced transparency (DIT) of a diamond nitrogen-vacancy center embedded in a photonic crystal cavity coupled to two waveguides, and it is obvious with the robust and flexible reflectance and transmittance difference of circularly polarized lights between the uncoupled and the coupled cavities even in the bad cavity regime (the Purcell regime). With this DIT, we propose two universal hyperparallel hybrid photonic quantum logic gates, including a hybrid hyper-controlled-not gate and a hybrid hyper-Toffoli gate, on photon systems in both the polarization and the spatial-mode degrees of freedom (DOFs), which are equal to two identical quantum logic gates operating simultaneously on the systems in one DOF. They can be used to perform more quantum operations with less resources in the quantum information protocols with multiqubit systems in several DOFs, which may depress the resources consumed and the photonic dissipation. Moreover, they are more robust against asymmetric environment noise in the weak-coupling regime, compared with the integration of two cascaded quantum logic gates in one DOF.
Abstract High‐fidelity universal quantum gates are crucial in quantum computing. Three high‐fidelity universal quantum gates, namely the hybrid controlled NOT gate, the hybrid Toffoli gate, and the hybrid Fredkin gate, on a flying photon qubit and diamond nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers, assisted by low‐Q single‐sided cavities, are presented. Errors due to the imperfection of the practical input–output process are detected to improve the fidelity of these quantum gates, which therefore relaxes the requirement on their implementation, since strong coupling is no longer mandatory. In addition, quantum gates have the advantage that they can work faithfully even when the resonant condition among the NV center, the photon, and the cavity is not strictly satisfied, or the NV centers are not identical. The performance and success probability of these quantum gates are analyzed, finding that these schemes are feasible with current technology.
We propose an effective, scalable, hyperparallel photonic quantum computation scheme in which photonic qubits are hyperencoded both in the spatial degrees of freedom (DOF) and the polarization DOF of each photon. The deterministic hyper-controlled-not (hyper-cnot) gate on a two-photon system is attainable with our interesting interface between the polarized photon and the collective spin wave (magnon) of an atomic ensemble embedded in a double-sided optical cavity, and it doubles the operations in the conventional quantum cnot gate. Moreover, we present a compact hyper-cnotN gate on N+1 hyperencoded photons with only two auxiliary cavity-magnon systems, not more, and it can be faithfully constituted with current experimental techniques. Our proposal enables various applications with the hyperencoded photons in quantum computing and quantum networks.
