Abstract

We show how it is possible to realize quantum computations on a system in which most of the parameters are practically unknown. We illustrate our results with a novel implementation of a quantum computer by means of bosonic atoms in an optical lattice. In particular, we show how a universal set of gates can be carried out even if the number of atoms per site is uncertain.

Quantum computation with cold bosonic atoms in an optical lattice

Juan José García‐Ripoll, J. I. Cirac

We analyse an implementation of a quantum computer using bosonic atoms in an optical lattice. We show that, even though the number of atoms per site and the tunnelling rate between neighbouring sites is unknown, one may operate a universal set of gates by means of adiabatic passage.

Universal quantum circuit for n-qubit quantum gate: a programmable quantum gate

Paulo Benicio Melo de Sousa, Rubens Viana Ramos

Quantum computation has attracted much attention, among other things, due to its potentialities to solve classical NP problems in polynomial time. For this reason, there has been a growing interest to build a quantum computer. One of the basic steps is to implement the quantum circuit able to realize a given unitary operation. This task has been solved using decomposition of unitary matrices in simpler ones till reach quantum circuits having only single-qubits and CNOTs gates. Usually the goal is to find the minimal quantum circuit able to solve a given problem. In this paper we go in a different direction. We propose a general quantum circuit able to implement any specific quantum circuit by just setting correctly the parameters. In other words, we propose a programmable quantum circuit. This opens the possibility to construct a real quantum computer where several different quantum operations can be realized in the same hardware. The configuration is proposed and its optical implementation is discussed.

Ensemble Quantum Computation with Atoms in Periodic Potentials

K. G. H. Vollbrecht, E. Solano, J. I. Cirac

We show how to perform universal quantum computation with atoms confined in optical lattices which works both in the presence of defects and without individual addressing. The method is based on using the defects in the lattice, wherever they are, both to "mark" different copies on which ensemble quantum computation is carried out and to define pointer atoms which perform the quantum gates. We also show how to overcome the problem of scalability in this system.

Quantum computations with optical waveguide modes

Jian Fu

A fully optical method to perform any quantum computation with optical waveguide modes is proposed by supplying the prescriptions for a universal set of quantum gates. The proposal for quantum computation is based on implementing a quantum bit with two normal modes of multi-mode waveguides. The proposed universal set of gates has the potential of being more compact and easily realized than other optical implementations, since it is based on planar lightwave circuit technology and can be constructed by using Mach-Zehnder interferometer configurations having semiconductor optical amplifiers with very high refractive nonlinearity in its arms.

Quantum Logic with Interacting Bosons in 1D

We present a scheme for implementing high-fidelity quantum logic gates using the quantum walk of a few interacting bosons on a one-dimensional lattice. The gate operation is carried out by a single compact lattice described by a one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model with only nearest-neighbor hopping and on-site interactions. We find high-fidelity deterministic logic operations for a gate set (including the CNOT gate) that is universal for quantum information processing. We discuss the applicability of this scheme in light of recent developments in controlling and monitoring cold-atoms in optical lattices, as well as an implementation with realistic nonlinear quantum photonic devices.

Parameterized Quantum Gates and Multidimensional Uncertainty of Information

James Logan Mayfield, Anca Ralescu

Quantum computation has shown a lot of promise in being able to provide computational results not possible with the modern computer. However, the design of new algorithms has been slow. One reason for this could be that we simply do not understand this new paradigm of computation enough to fully utilize it. We present here is an improvement of our previous generalization the basic quantum gates and a new perspective on quantum computation and quantum information. The goal is to obtain a more abstract approach to quantum computation and quantum algorithms in which physical systems are viewed as the implementation for the computing paradigm and not the reason for the it
