Abstract

Hybrid quantum systems consisting of quantum dot spins and superconducting circuits have emerged as a promising platform for quantum information processing. However, the development of scalable architectures requires the ability to entangle different quantum systems over long distances, which remains an outstanding challenge for hybrid systems with complex interactions and multiple energy levels. Here, we devise methods to implement entangling gates by using engineered virtual photons as a transducer to couple spin-superconducting systems. We propose to tailor such transducers by tuning the driving pulse using shortcuts to adiabaticity. We demonstrate the realization of high-fidelity entangling gates of 99% in short timescales of a few tens of nanoseconds, and we show the robustness of this approach to control parameters. Furthermore, our method enables state transfer and remote entanglement between different modules of the hybrid system with fidelity exceeding the fault-tolerance threshold, thus demonstrating the scalability of this approach. These results pave the way for fast, high-fidelity quantum information processing on leading hybrid platforms.

Long-range entanglement between spin qubits in quantum dots by virtual photon process

Ye-Bin Hu, Rong Chen, Guoqing Yan +1 more

Electron spin qubits in silicon quantum dots are an attractive candidate for large-scalable quantum computation. An essential step for quantum information processing based on spin qubits is to realize the spatially separated two-qubit gate and entanglement with high fidelity. Here, we consider two spin qubits coupled to a common superconducting resonator in circuit quantum electrodynamics. We investigate the long-range two-qubit iSWAP gate mediated by virtual microwave photons using a Gaussian smoothing pulse. We show that the entangling gate fidelity can reach [Formula: see text] under realistic experimental conditions and analyze the factors limiting gate fidelity. Moreover, we numerically demonstrate the generation of remote Bell entangled states of spin qubits with high fidelity. In addition, this spin–resonator architecture can be used to implement quantum algorithms using our scheme. These results pave the way for quantum information processing with spin qubits.

Virtual Photon-Mediated Quantum State Transfer and Remote Entanglement between Spin Qubits in Quantum Dots Using Superadiabatic Pulses

Yue Wang, Ting Wang, Xingyu Zhu

Spin qubits in semiconductor quantum dots are an attractive candidate for scalable quantum information processing. Reliable quantum state transfer and entanglement between spatially separated spin qubits is a highly desirable but challenging goal. Here, we propose a fast and high-fidelity quantum state transfer scheme for two spin qubits mediated by virtual microwave photons. Our general strategy involves using a superadiabatic pulse to eliminate non-adiabatic transitions, without the need for increased control complexity. We show that arbitrary quantum state transfer can be achieved with a fidelity of 95.1% within a 60 ns short time under realistic parameter conditions. We also demonstrate the robustness of this scheme to experimental imperfections and environmental noises. Furthermore, this scheme can be directly applied to the generation of a remote Bell entangled state with a fidelity as high as 97.6%. These results pave the way for fault-tolerant quantum computation on spin quantum network architecture platforms.

Remote entangling gate between a quantum dot spin and a transmon qubit mediated by microwave photons

Xing-Yu 行宇 Zhu 朱, Le-Tian Zhu, Tao 涛 Tu 涂 +1 more

Spin qubits and superconducting qubits are promising candidates for realizing solid-state quantum information processors. Designing a hybrid architecture that combines the advantages of different qubits on the same chip is a highly desirable but challenging goal. Here we propose a hybrid architecture that utilizes a high-impedance SQUID array resonator as a quantum bus, thereby coherently coupling different solid-state qubits. We employ a resonant exchange spin qubit hosted in a triple quantum dot and a superconducting transmon qubit. Since this hybrid system is highly tunable, it can operate in a dispersive regime, where the interaction between the different qubits is mediated by virtual photons. By utilizing such interactions, entangling gate operations between different qubits can be realized in a short time of 30 ns with a fidelity of up to 96.5% under realistic parameter conditions. Further utilizing this interaction, remote entangled state between different qubits can be prepared and is robust to perturbations of various parameters. These results pave the way for exploring efficient fault-tolerant quantum computation on hybrid quantum architecture platforms.

High-fidelity two-qubit gates of hybrid superconducting-semiconducting singlet-triplet qubits

Maria Spethmann, Stefano Bosco, Andrea Hofmann +2 more

Hybrid systems comprising superconducting and semiconducting materials are promising architectures for quantum computing. Superconductors induce long-range interactions between the spin degrees of freedom of semiconducting quantum dots. These interactions are widely anisotropic when the semiconductor material has strong spin-orbit interactions. We show that this anisotropy is tunable and enables fast and high-fidelity two-qubit gates between singlet-triplet (ST) spin qubits. Our design is immune to leakage of the quantum information into noncomputational states and removes always-on interactions between the qubits, thus resolving key open challenges for these architectures. Our ST qubits do not require additional technologically demanding components nor fine-tuning of parameters. They operate at low magnetic fields of a few millitesla and are fully compatible with superconductors. By suppressing systematic errors in realistic devices, we estimate infidelities below ${10}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$, which could pave the way toward large-scale hybrid superconducting-semiconducting quantum processors.

Hybrid superconductor-atom quantum interface with Raman chirped shortcut to adiabatic passage

Kai-Yu Liao, Zhen-Tao Liang, Jie Liang +2 more

Realization of the highly efficient hybrid atom-photon gates is vital to the quantum interface that integrates atoms and superconducting resonators. Here we propose a scheme to realize the hybrid state transfer and controlled-PHASE gate based on Raman chirped shortcut to adiabatic passage. The scheme is fast to protect the quantum state from the decoherence effects in the hybrid interface, as well as is robust due to the geometric phase. We show that this two-qubit gate is more resilient than the Raman pulse and Raman chirped adiabatic passage against the variations in the vacuum coupling strength and two-photon detuning. Its fast and robust features make it especially suitable for long-term storage and optical readout of superconducting qubits, and moreover, entanglement swapping between two disparate components.
