Abstract

Abstract We propose a scheme for implementing robust SWAP gate on two distant atoms that are confined in two spatially separated single-mode optical cavities connected by an optical fiber. The SWAP gate cannot be attained by using adiabatic passage for such a physical model, but we achieve it by following transitionless quantum driving, a method of shortcuts to adiabatic passage. In addition, during the execution of the SWAP gate, none of two atoms, two cavities and the fiber is excited, and thus the virtual excitations of the fiber-cavity-atom system make the scheme very robust against the atomic spontaneous radiation and the decay of the cavities and the fiber. Numerical simulations show that the SWAP gate can be attained with high fidelity, and the present scheme is insensitive to the control errors of various parameters. The scheme may have potential applications in distributed quantum computing and quantum information process in a quantum network.

Implementation of a quantum $\sqrt{\rm_{swap}}$ gate for two distant atoms trapped in separate cavities

Lin Xiu, Rong‐Can Yang, Xiang Chen

We present a scheme to implement a quantum [Formula: see text] gate for two-atom trapped in distant cavities connected via an optical fiber. In the whole process, the atomic system, the cavity modes and the fiber are not excited ensuring that the operation is insensitive to atomic spontaneous emission, cavity decay and the fiber loss. This scheme is significant for distributed and scalable quantum computation.

Virtual-photon-induced quantum phase gates for two distant atoms trapped in separate cavities

Shi-Biao Zheng

We propose a scheme for implementing quantum gates for two atoms trapped in distant cavities connected by an optical fiber. The effective long-distance coupling between the two distributed qubits is achieved without excitation and transportation of photons through the optical fiber. Since the cavity modes and fiber mode are never populated and the atoms undergo no transitions, the gate operation is insensitive to the decoherence effect when the thermal photons in the environment are negligible. The scheme opens promising perspectives for networking quantum information processors and implementing distributed and scalable quantum computation.

Remote Implementation of a Fredkin Gate via Virtual Excitation of an Atom‐Cavity‐Fiber System

Sun Guang-qing, Jin‐Lei Wu, Wei Niu +2 more

Abstract Simple operations and robust results are always of interest for any quantum tasks. Herein, a novel scheme is proposed for implementing a Fredkin gate via the virtual excitation of an atom‐cavity‐fiber system. The scheme is to control the nonlocal state‐swap of two spatially separated target atoms according to the state of the control atom at hand. In the scheme, only the control atom at hand needs the laser to drive and the virtual excitation of the atom‐cavity‐fiber system effectively suppresses the decoherence. By numerical simulations, appreciated parameters are chosen and it is shown that the Fredkin gate can be implemented with high fidelity. Although the operation time error has slightly stronger influence on the fidelity than atom‐cavity coupling strength error, the robustness of the scheme can be effectively improved against the operation time error by adopting Gaussian pulse to replace the constant pulse. In addition, the scheme can be generalized to implement alternative Fredkin gates by controlling the non‐local state‐swap of two remote atoms or of two remote and spatially separated atoms, which will be undoubtedly of benefit to the distributed quantum computation and remote quantum information processing.

One-step implementation of a deterministic SWAP gate via a shortcut to adiabatic passage

Chun‐Ling Zhang, Mei Lu, Cheng-Li Luo +1 more

Abstract The quantum logic gate is a basic operation in quantum computing. SWAP gates are quite useful as a type of two-qubit logic gate. In this paper, we propose a fast scheme to get a deterministic SWAP gate between two atoms in just one step. In this scheme the experimental parameters, such as evolution time, laser parameters and so on, do not need to be controlled precisely. This greatly simplifies the actual operation. Meanwhile, the strict numerical simulations show that decoherence arising from spontaneous emission and cavity decay may be allowed to some extent. What is more, the idea can be used to generate a SWAP gate between two spatially separate atoms. It is worth noting that our scheme simplifies the complex steps found in some pre-existing schemes.

Distributed atomic quantum information processing via optical fibers

Ming-Xing Luo, Hui-Ran Li, Xiaojun Wang

The qudit system may offer great flexibilities for quantum information processing. We investigate the possibility of realizing elementary quantum gates between two high-dimensional atoms in distant cavities coupled by an optical fiber. We show that highly reliable special swap gate is achievable by different detuning. The numerical simulation shows that the proposed elementary gate is robust against the atomic spontaneous decay, photon leakage of cavities and optical fibers by choosing the experimental parameters appropriately.

Quantum state transfer between distant nodes of a quantum network via adiabatic passage

Yan‐Li Zhou, Yimin Wang, Long-Long Liang +1 more

A scheme is presented to realize transfer of a three-dimensional quantum state between two atoms trapped in distant cavities connected by an optical fiber, whose mode is resonant with the polarization cavity modes. Performing an adiabatic passage along dark states, the fiber mode remains in the vacuum state and the population of the cavities being excited can be negligible under certain conditions. In addition, atomic transitions in our scheme are largely detuned from cavity modes. As a consequence, the atomic spontaneous emission and the fiber decay can be effectively eliminated. Furthermore, we give some discussions about the fidelity of our scheme.
