Abstract

Rydberg atoms possess long coherence time and inherent scalability, which makes it promising to implement quantum algorithms. An exact and robust quantum search algorithm (SA) is essential to some practical applications. Here we propose a multisolution three-qubit SA by employing quantum circuit and geometric operations, in which the target states can be successfully searched with the fidelity of at least 99.8$%$ and the geometric operators guarantee robustness against systematic errors. In particular, the geometric three-qubit gate operators employed reduce the implementation time and help to resist against the detrimental influence of decoherence. Moreover, our scheme can be straightforwardly extended to multiqubit cases. We have carried out numerical simulations based on the master equation to illustrate the superiority of our scheme. We consider that our study provides an alternative method for executing quantum SAs with high success probability.

Rabi‐Robustness Multiqubit Geometric Gate with Rydberg Atoms

Jie Wei, Lv‐Yun Wang, L.-L. Yan +2 more

Abstract Due to the limitation of quantum resources, direct synthesis of a multiqubit logic gate can significantly improve the efficiency of practical quantum information processing. In this article, an enhanced‐robustness gate scheme is proposed to implement three‐qubit controlled gates, i.e., and , by using resonant dipole–dipole exchange interaction‐induced adiabatic evolutions along with the dark state dynamics and super‐robust pulse sequences in Rydberg atoms. Such a gate scheme can execute arbitrary single‐qubit operations on the target qubit with pure geometric phase and is especially suitable for the case where the decoherence is not very obvious. Taking and as typical examples, various experimental imperfections are studied, including the Doppler effect, spontaneous emission of the intermediate state, laser phase noise, and fluctuations of interaction and external fields. Therefore, with the increasing demand for multiqubit gates, the proposal provides a more promising alternative for future fault‐tolerant and scalable quantum computation.

Multiple-qubit controlled unitary quantum gate for Rydberg atoms using shortcut to adiabaticity and optimized geometric quantum operations

Meng Li, F.-Q. Guo, Z. Jin +3 more

Multiple-qubit quantum logic gates are an important element in the implementation of quantum computers. The direct construction of multiple-qubit quantum logic gates in an efficient way has important values compared to the construction of multiple-qubit gates using a series of two-qubit and single-qubit gates. We propose a scheme to construct a multiple-qubit ${\mathrm{C}}_{k}\mathrm{U}$ gate ($k$ denotes the number of control qubits and U means the arbitrary universal operation performed on the target qubit) in a neutral atom platform through the Rydberg blockade effect by successively exciting them to Rydberg states. This scheme takes advantage of the shortcut to adiabaticity of inverse engineering, geometric quantum operations, as well as optimized control theory. The geometric quantum computation considered in this manuscript guarantees the robustness to operational errors. Meanwhile, inverse engineering-based shortcut to adiabaticity provides a further advantage in terms of the speed of the system evolution compared to adiabatic processes. An additional feature of our multiple-qubit quantum logic gate is that arbitrary operation on the target atom can be realized by adjusting the amplitude and phase of the laser fields. Numerical simulation of the master equation based on the full Hamiltonian demonstrates the high fidelity of the proposed scheme and its robustness to operational errors and spontaneous emission.

High-Fidelity and Robust Geometric Quantum Gates that Outperform Dynamical Ones

Tao Chen, Zheng‐Yuan Xue

Geometric phase is a promising element to induce high-fidelity and robust quantum operations due to its built-in noise-resilience feature. Unfortunately, its practical applications are usually circumscribed by requiring complex interactions among multiple levels or qubits and a longer gate time than the corresponding dynamical ones. Here, we propose a general framework of geometric quantum computation with the integration of the time-optimal control technique, where the shortest smooth geometric path is found to realize accelerated geometric quantum gates and thus greatly decreases the gate errors induced by both the decoherence effect and operational imperfections. Meanwhile, we faithfully implement our idea on a scalable platform of a two-dimensional superconducting transmon-qubit lattice, with simple and experimentally accessible interactions. In addition, numerical simulations show that our implemented geometric gates possess higher fidelities and stronger robustness, which outperform the best performance of the corresponding dynamical ones. Therefore, our scheme provides a promising alternative route toward scalable fault-tolerant solid-state quantum computation.

Fast multiqubit Rydberg geometric fan-out gates with optimal control technology

J.-F. Wei, F.-Q. Guo, D.-Y. Wang +4 more

Practical quantum computation requires highly efficient implementation of quantum logic gates. The fan-out gate represents such a type of multiqubit controlled gate with one qubit controlling a number of target qubits. Recent efforts for fan-out gates using Rydberg atoms include adiabatic operations along with the dark-state dynamics of Rydberg states [M. Khazali and K. M\o{}lmer, Phys. Rev. X 10, 021054 (2020)] and implementation based on the asymmetric Rydberg-Rydberg interaction [J. T. Young et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 120501 (2021)]. Inspired by these advances, we propose a fast-operation scheme for geometric multiqubit fan-out gates, in which the target qubits can be executed with arbitrary operations based on the asymmetric Rydberg-Rydberg interaction and time-optimal control technology. One of the main favorable features of our scheme is its performance in a nonadiabatic way and with the time-optimal control technology, by which the shortest smooth geometric path is found. Another feature, that the target qubits could be executed with arbitrary geometric quantum operations, makes our scheme general and useful. Therefore, our scheme provides a promising alternative route toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum information processing based on Rydberg atoms.

Error-resilient geometric entangling gates in Rydberg atoms

Yan Liang, Xue-Dong Tian, Li‐Na Ji +1 more

Quantum computation holds great potential in revolutionizing information processing, with high-fidelity quantum gates serving as the cornerstone for realizing fault-tolerant quantum architectures. Here, we present a robust protocol for implementing high-fidelity entangling gates in Rydberg atomic systems via unconventional geometric quantum control strategies. By removing the stringent zero-dynamical-phase constraint inherent to conventional nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation, our scheme achieves high flexibility in designing driving fields while simultaneously enhancing gate fidelity and resilience against various errors. Notably, our protocol enables direct extension to multiqubit controlled-phase gate construction, with the gate duration remaining independent of the number of qubits involved. The results establish a practical and scalable framework for error-resilient quantum operations in Rydberg platforms, with broad implications for both fault-tolerant quantum computing and the quantum simulation of complex many-body systems.

Multiple‐Qubit CkUm Logic Gates of Rydberg Atoms via Optimized Geometric Quantum Operations

Meng Li, Jing‐Yang Li, F.-Q. Guo +6 more

Abstract Multiple‐qubit logic gates, as an essential part of quantum logic gates, have wide practical application in quantum computation. Here, a scheme to directly construct a multiple‐qubit logic gate , in which k control atoms apply an universal operation U on each of m target qubits in the Rydberg atom system is proposed. The scheme, based on Rydberg blockade and geometric quantum operations as well as optimized control theory, can greatly reduce the qubit number and the operation steps, improving the speed and robustness of the gating compared to the conventional multiple‐qubit gates consisting of single‐ and two‐qubit gates. Taking the C2U2 gate as an example, the performance of the proposal is numerically evaluated in terms of the fidelity of the quantum gate as well as the robustness against the static systematic errors and spontaneous emission. This work may provide a significative reference for constructing universal multiple‐qubit logic gates in future Rydberg atom experiments.
