Entangling capabilities of symmetric two qubit gates

Abstract

Our work addresses the problem of generating maximally entangled two spin-1/2 (qubit) symmetric states using NMR, NQR, Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick Hamiltonians. Time evolution of such Hamiltonians provides various logic gates which can be used for quantum processing tasks. Pairs of spin-1/2s have modelled a wide range of problems in physics. Here, we are interested in two spin-1/2 symmetric states which belong to a subspace spanned by the angular momentum basis \\textbarj = 1,μ�;μ = +1, 0,-1. Our technique relies on the decomposition of a Hamiltonian in terms of SU(3) basis matrices. In this context, we define a set of linearly independent, traceless, Hermitian operators which provides an alternate set of SU(n) generators. These matrices are constructed out of angular momentum operators Jx, Jy, Jz. We construct and study the properties of perfect entanglers acting on a symmetric subspace, i.e., spin-1 operators that can generate maximally entangled states from some suitably chosen initial separable states in terms of their entangling power.

Entangling power of symmetric two-qubit quantum gates and three-level operations

Diego Morachis Galindo, Jesús A. Maytorena

The capacity of a quantum gate to produce entangled states on a bipartite system is quantified in terms of the entangling power. This quantity is defined as the average of the linear entropy of entanglement of the states produced after applying a quantum gate over the whole set of separable states. Here we focus on symmetric two-qubit quantum gates, acting on the symmetric two-qubit space, and calculate the entangling power in terms of the appropriate local invariant. A geometric description of the local equivalence classes of gates is given in terms of the $\text{su}(3)$ Lie algebra root vectors. These vectors define a primitive cell with hexagonal symmetry on a plane, and through the Weyl group the minimum area on the plane containing the whole set of locally equivalent quantum gates is identified. We give conditions to determine when a given quantum gate produces maximally entangled states from separable ones (perfect entanglers). We find that these gates correspond to one-fourth of the whole set of locally distinct quantum gates. The formalism developed here is applicable to general three-level systems. Via the Majorana representation, qutrit transformations can be regarded as having entangling power and hence classified as perfect and nonperfect entanglers and be grouped into local-equivalence classes of the associated symmetric two-qubit space. The results are illustrated by an anisotropic Heisenberg model, the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, and two coupled quantized oscillators with cross-Kerr interaction, which we use to obtain three-level gates relevant in qutrit quantum computation.

Entanglement and quantum phase diagrams of symmetric multi-qubit systems

Manuel Calixto, Octavio Castaños, E. Romera

Abstract For general symmetric multi-qubit systems, the behavior of one- and two-qubit entanglement for Dicke, spin coherent and parity-adapted (even and odd) spin coherent states is determined. These quantum correlations are quantified by linear and von Neumann entropies of the corresponding one- and two-qubit reduced density matrices of the multi-qubit system. These states play a fundamental role in the study of Hamiltonian systems written in terms of collective generators of the angular momentum algebra like, for example, the Lipkin–Meshkov–Glick (LMG) model. Here we shall use these entanglement measures as a signature to characterize the different quantum phases that appear in these models.

Solitons in Maximally Entangled Two Qubit Phase Space

Oktay K. Pashaev, Zeynep Nilhan Gürkan

Motivated by Möbius transformation for symmetrical points under the generalized circle in complex plane, the system of symmetrical spin coherent states corresponding to antipodal qubit states is introduced. It implies the maximally entangled spin coherent states basis, which in the limiting cases reduces to the Bell basis. A specific property of our symmetric image coherent states is that they never become unentangled for any value of $ψ$ from complex plane. By the reduced density matrix and the concurrence determinant methods, it is shown that our basis is maximally entangled. In addition we find that the average of spin operators in these states vanish, as it must be according to another, operational definition of completely entangled states. Universal one qubit and two qubit gates in this new basis are calculated and time evolution of these states for some spin systems is derived. We find that the average energy for XYZ model in two qubit case (Q symbol of H) shows regular finite energy localized structure with characteristic extremum points, and appears as a soliton in maximally entangled two qubit phase space. Generalizations to three and higher qubit states are discussed.

Energy localization in maximally entangled two- and three-qubit phase space

Oktay K. Pashaev, Zeynep Nilhan Gürkan

Motivated by the Möbius transformation for symmetric points under the generalized circle in the complex plane, the system of symmetric spin coherent states corresponding to antipodal qubit states is introduced. In terms of these states, we construct the maximally entangled complete set of two-qubit coherent states, which in the limiting cases reduces to the Bell basis. A specific property of our symmetric coherent states is that they never become unentangled for any value of ψ from the complex plane. Entanglement quantifications of our states are given by the reduced density matrix and the concurrence determinant, and it is shown that our basis is maximally entangled. Universal one- and two-qubit gates in these new coherent state basis are calculated. As an application, we find the Q symbol of the XY Z model Hamiltonian operator H as an average energy function in maximally entangled two- and three-qubit phase space. It shows regular finite-energy localized structure with specific local extremum points. The concurrence and fidelity of quantum evolution with dimerization of double periodic patterns are given.

Construction of two-qubit gates using B Gate

M. Karthick Selvan, S. Balakrishnan

Abstract In the circuit model of quantum computation, an entangling two-qubit gate and a set of single-qubit gates are used as universal gate set or basis gates for doing quantum computation. CNOT and iSWAP gates, the perfect entanglers that can create maximally entangled two-qubit states in one application, are broadly used entangling two-qubit basis gates in quantum computers. In this paper, we analyze the potentiality of B gate, an unexplored non-perfect entangler of the form, exp i π ( σ ˆ x ⨂ σ ˆ x ) 8 + i π ( σ ˆ y ⨂ σ ˆ y ) 16 , as an entangling two-qubit basis gate in quantum computers by studying its ability to generate other two-qubit gates. We derive a necessary condition for a two-qubit gate to be generated by n applications of B gate. Using this condition, we show that the gates that can be generated by two and three applications of B gate are contained in the 50% and 92.97% of the volume of Weyl chamber of two-qubit gates, respectively. We prove that two applications of B gate can generate both SWAP and SWAP
