Abstract Dicke states play an important role in quantum information processing and quantum computing. Here, by virtue of quantum Zeno dynamics and shortcuts to adiabaticity, a scheme for fast conversion of three‐particle symmetric Dicke states to four‐particle symmetric Dicke states () with Rydberg superatoms is proposed. This scheme can be completed within one step through adjusting the Rabi frequencies of classical fields. Moreover, the effect of decoherence induced by atomic spontaneous emission and leakage of the cavity on fidelities are considered. The numerical simulation demonstrates that this scheme has high fidelities and robustness against decoherence.

A scheme is proposed for fast conversion of two-atom Dicke states to three-atom Dickes state and three-atom Dicke states to four-atom Dicke states based on transitionless quantum driving. This scheme can be achieved within one step through appropriately regulating the Rabi frequencies of classical fields. The effects of decoherence induced by atomic spontaneous emission and leakage of the cavity are also taken into account. The numerical simulation result shows that this scheme is robust against both atomic spontaneous emission and cavity leakage. Furthermore, when multiple atoms are trapped in a cavity, the (n+1)-atom Dicke states can be derived directly from the n-atom Dicke states with the same principle, which provides a scalable way for the preparation of Dicke states in theory.
Abstract W states play an important role in quantum information processing and quantum computing. Here, it proposes a scheme for preparing W states by designing the evolution operators with Rydberg superatoms. It encodes quantum information on the effective energy level of the superatom, and construct shortcuts to adiabatic passages (STAP) by designing the evolution operators. Combined with Quantum Zeno dynamics and STAP, it can prepare three‐particle W states quickly and efficiently. In addition, the Rabi frequency in this scheme can be described as a linear superposition of Gaussian functions, which reduces the difficulty of practical experiment. The numerical simulation shows that the scheme is robust against decoherence, operational imperfection, and noise. At last, it generalizes this scheme to preparation of N ‐particle W states.
Quantum entanglement is a basic resource of quantum information processing and quantum computation. The simple and efficient generation of entangled states is always one of the hot research topics. As one of the ideal carriers of quantum information encoding, neutral Rydberg atom occupies a place in the field of generation of entangled state with its unique advantages. For example, Rydberg atom has a large volume and is easily ionized by an external electric field, so it is very sensitive to the change in the external electric field. Therefore, the interaction strength between Rydberg atoms can be changed by altering the external electric field. Rydberg state is a highly excited state, but its radiation attenuation is very small: the radiation lifetime can reach a millisecond level or even longer. The distance between the atomic kernel and the outermost electron is relatively long, and the electric dipole moment is very large. In this paper, the four-level inverted “Y”-type Rydberg atomic system is introduced into the Rydberg blocking ball to form a superatom, and the quantum information is encoded on the effective energy level of the superatom under the condition of weak cavity field. We construct shortcuts to adiabatic passage in a three-superatom system. Combined with quantum Zeno dynamics and shortcuts to adiabatic passage, the three-particle singlet state is simply and effectively generated. In addition, the influence of decoherence factors (including cavity decay and spontaneous emission of superatoms) on the fidelity is considered in this scheme. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed scheme can obtain high fidelity without precisely controlling the evolution time, and the fidelity of singlet state is robust to decoherence factors, since no cavity-photon population is involved in the whole process because of the quantum Zeno dynamics.
Abstract Quantum entanglement is playing an increasingly crucial role in the field of quantum information. The conversion between different types of entangled states, especially for GHZ state and W state, can greatly enhance the efficiency of quantum information processing. Here, a two‐step scheme is proposed to realize the conversion between GHZ state and W state with Rydberg superatoms, in which the collective states of superatom are used to encode quantum information. In the first step, let a single‐photon pulse pass through two cavities that trap superatoms in sequence and detect the state of photon to complete this task. In the second step, shortcuts are employed to adiabaticity based on superadiabatic technique and design appropriate Rabi frequencies for the system. The numerical simulations demonstrate that this scheme possesses a high fidelity and exhibits robustness against detrimental effects such as atomic spontaneous emission, cavity losses, fiber photon leakages and noise. Furthermore, the intricate pulses within this scheme are decomposed into a linear superposition of Gaussian pulses, enhancing experimental feasibility. Finally, the scheme is extended to deal with the scenario of multi‐superatom. This method provides a way to convert other types of entangled states.
The W state, as a robust multipartite entangled state, plays an important role in quantum information processing, quantum network construction and quantum computing. In this paper, a three-level ladder-type Rydberg atomic system is placed into a Rydberg blocking sphere to form a superatom. Each superatom has many collective states including just one Rydberg excitation constrained by the Rydberg blockade effect. In the weak cavity field limit, at most one atom can be pumped into excited state, then we can describe the superatom by using a three-level ladder-type system. Afterwards we encode quantum information about the effective energy levels of Rydberg superatoms and propose a fast scheme for preparing the Rydberg superatom W state based on the superadiabatic iterative technique and quantum Zeno dynamics.This scheme can be achieved in only one step by controlling the laser pulses. In this scheme, the superatoms are trapped in spatially separated cavities connected by optical fibers, thereby greatly improving the feasibility of experimental manipulation. A remarkable feature is that it does not need to accurately control experimental parameters and interaction time. Meanwhile, the form of counterdiabatic Hamiltonian is the same as that of the effective Hamiltonian. Through numerical simulations, the fidelity of this scheme can reach 99.94%. Even considering decoherence effects, including atomic spontaneous emission and photon leakage, the fidelity can still exceed 97.5%, thereby further demonstrating the strong robustness of the solution. In addition, the Rabi frequency can be characterized as a linear superposition of Gaussian functions, and this representation significantly alleviates the complexity encountered in practical experiments. Futhermore, we also analyze the influence of parameter fluctuations on the fidelity, and the results show that this scheme is robust against parameter fluctuations. Finally, the present scheme is extended to the case of N Rydberg superatoms, which shows the scalability of our scheme.
In this paper, we propose a scheme for rapidly implementing a controlled- π phase gate by combining the Lewis–Riesenfeld invariant and quantum Zeno dynamics. We demonstrate the adiabatic shortcut by using Rydberg superatoms in distant-atom–cavity systems. Furthermore, we utilize the controlled- π phase gate to achieve the preparation of N -particle cluster states. Additionally, the impact of decoherence and operational imperfections is discussed. Numerical simulation demonstrates that the proposed scheme has high fidelities and robustness against both cavity leakage and atomic spontaneous emission.
