Programmable Fermionic Quantum Processors with Globally Controlled Lattices

Gabriele Calliari, Charles Fromonteil, Francesco Cesa +4 more

We introduce a framework for realizing universal fermionic quantum processing with globally controlled itinerant fermionic particles. Our approach is tailored to the example of neutral atoms in optical lattices, but transposes to other setups with similar capabilities. We give constructive protocols to realize arbitrary fermionic processes, with time-dependent control over global parameters of the experimental setup, such as tunneling and interaction in a Fermi-Hubbard type model. We first prove the universality of our framework and then discuss implementation variants, such as hybrid analog-digital simulation of extended Fermi-Hubbard models, e.g., with long-range couplings.

High-fidelity collisional quantum gates with fermionic atoms

Petar Bojović, Timon Hilker, Si Wang +7 more

Abstract Quantum simulations of electronic structure and strongly correlated quantum phases are among the most promising applications of quantum computing. These computations benefit from native fermionic encodings 1,2 , enforcing fermionic statistics and conservation laws such as particle number and magnetization 3 independent of gate errors. While ultracold atoms in optical lattices have become established as powerful analogue simulators of strongly correlated fermionic matter 4–7 , neutral-atom platforms have concurrently emerged as versatile, scalable architectures for spin-based digital quantum computation 8 . Unifying these capabilities requires high-fidelity motionally coherent gates for fermionic atoms 9–11 , similar to collisional gates in bosonic systems 12,13 , paving the way for programmable fermionic quantum processors. Here we demonstrate collisional entangling gates with fidelities up to 99.75(6)% and Bell-state lifetimes exceeding 10 s, realized by means of controlled interactions of fermionic atoms in an optical superlattice. Using quantum gas microscopy 14 , we microscopically characterize spin-exchange and pair-tunnelling gates and realize a robust composite pair-exchange gate, a key building block for quantum chemistry simulations 3,15 . Our results establish controlled collisions in optical lattices as a competitive and complementary route to high entangling gate fidelities in neutral-atom quantum computers. Operating intrinsically with fermions, this capability naturally extends to many-qubit architectures, in which fermionic statistics become relevant, enabling complex state preparation and advanced readout 16–19 in scalable analogue–digital hybrid quantum simulators. Combined with local addressing 20,21 , these gates mark a crucial step towards a fully digital fermionic quantum computer based on controlled motion and entanglement of neutral atoms.

Quantum Many-Body Dynamics for Fermionic t − J Model Simulated with Atom Arrays

Y. H. Zhang, Xin-Chi Zhou, Bao‐Zong Wang +1 more

The fermionic t-J model has been widely recognized as a canonical model for broad range of strongly correlated phases, particularly the high-T_{c} superconductor. Simulating this model with controllable quantum platforms offers new possibilities to probe high-T_{c} physics, yet suffers challenges. Here we propose a novel scheme to realize a highly tunable extended t-J model in a programmable Rydberg-dressed tweezer array. Through engineering the Rydberg-dressed dipole-dipole interaction and intertweezer couplings, the fermionic t-J model with independently tunable exchange and hopping couplings is achieved. With the high tunability, we explore quantum many-body dynamics in the large J/t limit, a regime well beyond the conventional optical lattices and cuprates, and predict an unprecedented many-body self-pinning effect related to the local quantum entanglement with emergent conserved quantities. The self-pinning effect leads to novel nonthermal quantum many-body dynamics, which violates eigenstate thermalization hypothesis in Krylov subspace. Our prediction opens a new horizon in exploring exotic quantum many-body physics with t-J model, and shall also make a step toward simulating the high-T_{c} physics in neutral atom systems.
