Abstract

The two or more degrees of freedoms (DOFs) of photon systems are very useful in hyperparallel photonic quantum computing to accomplish more quantum logic gate operations with less resource, and depress photonic dissipation noise in quantum information processing. We present some flexible and adjustable schemes for hybrid hyper-controlled-not (hyper-CNOT) gates assisted by low-Q cavities, on the two-photon systems in both the spatial-mode and the polarization DOFs. These hybrid spatial-polarization hyper-CNOT gates consume less quantum resource and are more robust against photonic dissipation noise, compared with the integration of two cascaded CNOT gates in one DOF. Besides, simultaneous counter-propagation of two photons economize extremely the operation time in the whole process of our schemes. Moreover, these quantum logic gates are more feasible for fast quantum operations in the weak-coupling region of the low-Q cavities with current experimental technology, which are much different from strong-coupling cases of the high-Q ones.

Heralded high-fidelity quantum hyper-CNOT gates assisted by charged quantum dots inside single-sided optical microcavities

Photonic hyper-parallel quantum information processing (QIP) can simplify the quantum circuit and improve the information-processing speed, as well as reduce the quantum resource consumption and suppress the photonic dissipation noise. Here, utilizing the singly charged semiconductor quantum dot (QD) inside single-sided optical microcavity as the potentially experimental platform, we propose five schemes for heralded four-qubit hyper-controlled-not (hyper-CNOT) gates, covering all cases of four-qubit hyper-CNOT gates operated on both the polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedom (DoFs) of a two-photon system. The novel heralding mechanism improves the fidelity of each hyper-CNOT gate to unity in principle without the strict restriction of strong coupling. The adaptability and scalability of the schemes make the hyper-CNOT gates more accessible under current experimental technologies. These heralded high-fidelity photonic hyper-CNOT gates can therefore have immense utilization potentials in high-capacity quantum communication and fast quantum computing, which are of far-reaching significance for QIP.

Hyperparallel optical quantum computation assisted by atomic ensembles embedded in double-sided optical cavities

Tao Li, Gui‐Lu Long

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-cnot${}^{N}$ 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.

Heralded hyper-CNOT gates for two-photon systems assisted by quantum scattering in waveguides

Jing-Xue Zhang, Xue-Tong Sun, Lin-Xiong Wang +2 more

Abstract Photonic hyper-parallel quantum gates play a critical role in high-capacity quantum communication and fast quantum computing. Here, based on photon scattering in one-dimensional (1D) waveguides, we present some heralded schemes for constructing four-qubit hyper-controlled-not (hyper-CNOT) gates in two-photon systems. The qubits are encoded on both the polarization and spatial-mode degrees of freedoms (DOFs) of the photons, which can simplify the quantum circuit and reduce the quantum resource consumption. In our schemes, the faulty scattering events between photons and emitters caused by system imperfections can be filtered out and discarded. That is, our protocols for hyper-CNOT gates work in a heralded way. Our calculations show that, with great progress in the emitter-waveguide systems, our photonic hyper-CNOT gates may be experimentally feasible.

Robust hyperparallel photonic quantum entangling gate with cavity QED

Bao‐Cang Ren, Fu‐Guo Deng

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.

Deterministic Hyperparallel Control Gates with Weak Kerr Effects

Fang‐Fang Du, Gang Fan, Xue‐Mei Ren +1 more

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.

Quantum computation based on photonic systems with two degrees of freedom assisted by the weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity

Ming-Xing Luo, Hui-Ran Li, Hong Lai

Most of previous quantum computations only take use of one degree of freedom (DoF) of photons. An experimental system may possess various DoFs simultaneously. In this paper, with the weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity, we investigate the parallel quantum computation dependent on photonic systems with two DoFs. We construct nearly deterministic controlled-not (CNOT) gates operating on the polarization spatial DoFs of the two-photon or one-photon system. These CNOT gates show that two photonic DoFs can be encoded as independent qubits without auxiliary DoF in theory. Only the coherent states are required. Thus one half of quantum simulation resources may be saved in quantum applications if more complicated circuits are involved. Hence, one may trade off the implementation complexity and simulation resources by using different photonic systems. These CNOT gates are also used to complete various applications including the quantum teleportation and quantum superdense coding.
