Noisy Multiple-Control Fredkin Gate in Nuclear Spin Based Qubits Chain

Abstract

The Fredkin gate is a reversible self-inverse logic gate that maintains parity, so it is widely used in DNA computing, low-power CMOS, quantum computing, and nanotechnology. The paper proposes a design of the multiple-control Fredkin gate based on the model of a chain of atoms with nuclear spins one-half in a spinless semiconductor matrix. The allowed transitions realizing the gate operation for two π-pulses are analyzed. The effect of frequency noise and decoherence on the fidelity of the multiple-control Fredkin gate are discussed.

Fidelity of noisy multiple-control reversible gates

V. G. Deı̆buk, Ivan Yuriychuk, Igor Lemberski

The effect of frequency noise on correct operation of the multiple-control Toffoli, Fredkin, and Peres gates has been discussed. In the framework of the Ising model, the energy spectrum of a chain of atoms with nuclear spins one-half in a spinless semiconductor matrix has been obtained, and allowed transitions corresponding to the operation algorithm of these gates have been determined. The fidelities of the obtained transitions were studied depending on the number of control qubits and parameters of the radio-frequency control pulses. It has been shown that correct operation of the Toffoli and Fredkin gates does not depend on the number of control qubits, while the Peres gate fidelity decreases significantly with the increasing number of control signals. The calculated ratios of the Larmor frequency to the exchange interaction constant correspond with the results of other studies.

Optimal Control for Rydberg multi-qubit operations

Hossein Abedi, Mohammadsadegh Khazali, Klaus Mølmer

Quantum computing algorithms can be decomposed into a universal set of elementary one- and two-qubit gates. Different physical implementations of quantum computing, however, employ interactions that permit direct conditional dynamics on multiple qubits in a single step. In this work, we leverage quantum optimal control techniques to design single continuous laser pulses that implement multi-qubit controlled-phase, -NOT and -swap (Fredkin) gates on Rydberg atom quantum processors. The identification of robust multi-qubit operations leads to reduced operation time and less decoherence, and the control field provides continuous protection of the atoms from environmental noise. Notably, we find that the controlled-swap (Fredkin) gate, implemented using this approach achieves 99.74\% fidelity while accounting for imperfections such as spontaneous emission, laser fluctuations, and Doppler dephasing.

The Fredkin gate in reversible and quantum environments

Claudio Moraga, Fatima Zohra Hadjam

Reversible Computing circuits are characterized by low power consumption and their proximity to circuits for quantum computing. The Fredkin gate was one of the earliest proposed controlled reversible circuits, which however, was soon superseded by the Toffoli gate, the NOT, and CNOT gates, which constituting a flexible functionally complete set could also realize the Fredkin gate as a building block. In quantum computing circuits, the Fredkin gate (under the name controlled SWAP) plays an important role regarding the superposition of states. The present paper studies extensions of the Fredkin gate in terms of mixed polarity in the reversible domain and an application in quantum computing.

High-fidelity single- and two-qubit gates for two-electron spin qubits

Pascal Cerfontaine

A key ingredient for fault-tolerant quantum computers are sufficiently accurate logic gates on single and multiple qubits in the presence of decohering noise. In this thesis, we theoretically develop and experimentally demonstrate such high-fidelity quantum gates for semiconductor-based quantum computing. Specifically, we consider a qubit encoded in the singlet and one triplet state of two electron spins in GaAs. While its potential for optical coupling makes GaAs an attractive material, highly auto-correlated magnetic field noise from fluctuating nuclear spins leads to considerably lower coherence times than for Si-based devices, where nuclear spins can be removed by isotopic purification. In addition to noise, the control methods used in earlier experiments are based on unrealistic approximations. For these reasons, fidelities well above 99 %, as required by current quantum error correction (QEC) schemes, have not been obtained before this thesis. To tackle these issues, we extend the filter function formalism to describe quantum gates and processes in the presence of experimentally relevant non-Markovian noise. Since this formalism can consider all relevant noise sources in a computationally efficient manner, it can be used to find optimal control pulses by numerical optimization, leading to predicted single-qubit gate fidelities of 99.9 %. Furthermore, we deal with the considerable control challenges associated with this qubit type by experimental calibration of the optimized control pulses. To this end, we extend our previous experimental gate set calibration (GSC) routine to remove systematic gate errors on an arbitrary number of qubits. We apply the numerically optimized single-qubit control pulses to our GaAs sample and experimentally calibrate them with GSC. This procedure yields an average gate fidelity of 99.50 ± 0.04 % and a low leakage rate of 0.13 ± 0.03 % out of the computational subspace, characterized by randomized benchmarking. We also optimize realistic two-qubit control pulses, considering current control hardware as well as interqubit Coulomb and exchange coupling that cannot be fully turned off. Using measured noise spectra, we show that two-qubit gate fidelities of 99.90 % can be reached in GaAs, while 99.99 % can be achieved in Si. These results demonstrate that high-fidelity gates can be realized even in the presence of nuclear spins as in GaAs.

Simple Realization of the Fredkin Gate using a Series Of Two-Body Operators

H. F. Chau, Frank A. Wilczek

The Fredkin three-bit gate is universal for computational logic, and is reversible. Classically, it is impossible to do universal computation using reversible two-bit gates only. Here we construct the Fredkin gate using a combination of six two-body reversible (quantum) operators.
