Abstract

We propose a theoretical model for realizing a photonic two-qubit phase gate in cavity QED using a one-step process. The fidelity and probability of success of the conditional quantum phase gate is very high in the presence of cavity decay. Our scheme only employs one two-level atom, and thus is much simpler than other schemes involving multi-level atoms. This proposal can also be applied to generate two-mode squeezed states; therefore, we give three examples, i.e., the two-mode squeezed vacuum state, two-mode squeezed odd coherent state, and two-mode squeezed even coherent state, to estimate the variance of Duan’s criterion when taking into account cavity decay. It is shown that the variance is smaller than 2 for the three squeezed states in most cases. Furthermore, we utilize logarithmic negativity to measure the entanglement, and find that these squeezed states have very high degrees of entanglement.

Dynamics of one two-level-atom interacting with a multiple cavity modes

Taoufik Said, A. Chouikh, Z. Sakhi +1 more

We discuss how to implement quantum logic gates by considering a two-level-atom driven by a strong microwave field and successively interacting with m+1 cavity modes. The scheme is insensitive to the initial state of the atom, and the operation time is independent of the number of cavity modes involved in the system operations. This scheme is used to realize two quantum logic gates (m-target-qubit controlled-global-phase gate and Multi-qubit phase shift gate) in a time much shorter than the photonic lifetime. We also studied the influence of decoherence on the fidelity. In general, our system is reasonably less sensitive to the photonic and atomic decay rates and therefore it can be experimentally realized.

Scheme for generating a cluster-type entangled squeezed vacuum state via cavity QED

Jing-Ji Wen, Kyu-Hwang Yeon, Hong‐Fu Wang +1 more

A scheme is proposed to generate an N -qubit cluster-type entangled squeezed vacuum state (CTESVS) based on the two-photon interaction between a two-level atom and the cavity fields with the cavity QED system. The CTESVS in N separate cavities can be effectively obtained after performing a simple one-qubit measurement on the atom. The influence of cavity decay on the CTESVS is also discussed.

Efficient scheme for realizing a multiplex-controlled phase gate with photonic qubits in circuit quantum electrodynamics

Qi-Ping Su, Yu Zhang, Liang Bin +1 more

We propose an efficient scheme to implement a multiplex-controlled phase gate with multiple photonic qubits simultaneously controlling one target photonic qubit based on circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). For convenience, we denote this multiqubit gate as MCP gate. The gate is realized by using a two-level coupler to couple multiple cavities. The coupler here is a superconducting qubit. This scheme is simple because the gate implementation requires only one step of operation. In addition, this scheme is quite general because the two logic states of each photonic qubit can be encoded with a vacuum state and an arbitrary non-vacuum state ∣ φ 〉 (e.g., a Fock state, a superposition of Fock states, a cat state, or a coherent state, etc.) which is orthogonal or quasi-orthogonal to the vacuum state. The scheme has some additional advantages: because only two levels of the coupler are used, i.e., no auxiliary levels are utilized, decoherence from higher energy levels of the coupler is avoided; the gate operation time does not depend on the number of qubits; and the gate is implemented deterministically because no measurement is applied. As an example, we numerically analyze the circuit-QED based experimental feasibility of implementing a three-qubit MCP gate with photonic qubits each encoded via a vacuum state and a cat state. The scheme can be applied to accomplish the same task in a wide range of physical system, which consists of multiple microwave or optical cavities coupled to a two-level coupler such as a natural or artificial atom.

Circuit QED: single-step realization of a multiqubit controlled phase gate with one microwave photonic qubit simultaneously controlling n − 1 microwave photonic qubits

Biaoliang Ye, Zhen-Fei Zheng, Yu Zhang +1 more

We present a novel method to realize a multi-target-qubit controlled phase gate with one microwave photonic qubit simultaneously controlling n - 1 target microwave photonic qubits. This gate is implemented with n microwave cavities coupled to a superconducting flux qutrit. Each cavity hosts a microwave photonic qubit, whose two logic states are represented by the vacuum state and the single photon state of a single cavity mode, respectively. During the gate operation, the qutrit remains in the ground state and thus decoherence from the qutrit is greatly suppressed. This proposal requires only a single-step operation and thus the gate implementation is quite simple. The gate operation time is independent of the number of the qubits. In addition, this proposal does not need applying classical pulse or any measurement. Numerical simulations demonstrate that high-fidelity realization of a controlled phase gate with one microwave photonic qubit simultaneously controlling two target microwave photonic qubits is feasible with current circuit QED technology. The proposal is quite general and can be applied to implement the proposed gate in a wide range of physical systems, such as multiple microwave or optical cavities coupled to a natural or artificial Λ-type three-level atom.

Cavity QED photons for quantum information processing

Moteb M. Alqahtani, Mark S. Everitt, B. M. Garraway

Abstract Based on a cavity QED framework, we theoretically describe a universal set of logic gates which are implemented by passing a multi-level atom initially in its ground state through a multi-mode cavity. The qubits are encoded on the cavity modes and the atom plays the role of an ancilla which will not be entangled with the final result of a gate operation. We apply the multiphoton resonance theory of Shore to develop effective two- and three-level Hamiltonians, so that the proper values for detunings, coupling coefficients, and interaction times for gate operations can be determined. This enables us to examine a faster iSWAP gate than our previous study and to examine numerically the effects of decoherence on both the iSWAP gate and our previously presented Fredkin gate which used the same multi-mode approach. We also present results that show how conditional measurements of the ancilla atom can improve gate fidelities in these cases.
