Abstract

We demonstrate a quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate operating on spatial modes of single photons. The CNOT gate is implemented by a series of spatially separated phase plates generated by diffractive deep neural networks (D2NNs).

Ultrahigh-fidelity spatial mode quantum gates in high-dimensional space by diffractive deep neural networks

Qianke Wang, Jun Liu, Dawei Lyu +1 more

Abstract While the spatial mode of photons is widely used in quantum cryptography, its potential for quantum computation remains largely unexplored. Here, we showcase the use of the multi-dimensional spatial mode of photons to construct a series of high-dimensional quantum gates, achieved through the use of diffractive deep neural networks (D2NNs). Notably, our gates demonstrate high fidelity of up to 99.6(2)%, as characterized by quantum process tomography. Our experimental implementation of these gates involves a programmable array of phase layers in a compact and scalable device, capable of performing complex operations or even quantum circuits. We also demonstrate the efficacy of the D2NN gates by successfully implementing the Deutsch algorithm and propose an intelligent deployment protocol that involves self-configuration and self-optimization. Moreover, we conduct a comparative analysis of the D2NN gate’s performance to the wave-front matching approach. Overall, our work opens a door for designing specific quantum gates using deep learning, with the potential for reliable execution of quantum computation.

Implementing an optical CNOT using spatial parity qubits

Kumel H. Kagalwala, Giovanni Di Giuseppe, Ayman F. Abouraddy +1 more

We describe an optical implementation of a CNOT gate in which the control qubit is the polarization of a single photon and the target qubit is the spatial parity of the same photon. The gate is implemented with a polarization- sensitive spatial light modulator. We characterize the operation of the gate using quantum process tomography and the spatial parity is analyzed with a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer. We also demonstrate the CNOT-gate operation with arbitrary rotation of the target qubit and discuss the possibility of implementing multi-qubit CNOT gates using the same approach.

Quantum CNOT Gate on Spatial Photon Qubits with Resonant Electrooptical Control

Alexander V. Tsukanov, I. Yu. Kateev

Abstract We consider a theoretical model of a quantum node that implements a two-qubit controlled-NOT (CNOT) operation on photonic qubits with spatial encoding. Each of the qubits is represented by a pair of modes that support an arbitrary superposition of single-photon states. The active element of the node is a single or double quantum dot (QD) with a tunable frequency, coherently exchanging an energy quantum with the modes. The spectral characteristics of the elements of the quantum node are simulated. The probability of performing a controlled inversion of the qubit state is calculated, depending on the system parameters.
