Decoherence-free dynamical and geometrical entangling phase gates

Abstract

It is shown that entangling two-qubit phase gates for quantum computation with atoms inside a resonant optical cavity can be generated via common laser addressing, essentially, within one step. The obtained dynamical or geometrical phases are produced by an evolution that is robust against dissipation in form of spontaneous emission from the atoms and the cavity and demonstrates resilience against fluctuations of control parameters. This is achieved by using the setup introduced by Pachos and Walther [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 187903 (2002)] and employing entangling Raman- or STIRAP-like transitions that restrict the time evolution of the system onto stable ground states.

Quantum computing in a macroscopic dark period

Ben Tregenna, Almut Beige, P. L. Knight

Decoherence-free subspaces allow for the preparation of coherent and entangled qubits for quantum computing. Decoherence can be dramatically reduced, yet dissipation is an integral part of the scheme in generating stable qubits and manipulating them via one- and two-bit gate operations. How this works can be understood by comparing the system with a three-level atom exhibiting a macroscopic dark period. In addition, a dynamical explanation is given for a scheme based on atoms inside an optical cavity in the strong-coupling regime and we show how spontaneous emission by the atoms can be highly suppressed.

A simple, robust, and scalable quantum logic gate with quantum dot cavity QED systems

Thaddeus D. Ladd, Y. Yamamoto

We present a method to enact a deterministic, measurement-free, optically generated controlled-phase gate on two qubits defined by single electrons trapped in large-area quantum dots in a planar microcavity. This method is robust to optical quantum dot inhomogeneity, requires only a modest-$Q$ planar cavity, employs only a single laser pulse, and allows the integration of many entangled qubits on one semiconductor chip. We present the gate in the contexts of both adiabatic evolution and geometric phases, and calculate the degradation of performance in the presence of both spontaneous emission and cavity loss.

Robust and fast geometric quantum computation with multiqubit gates in cavity QED

Gongwei Lin, Xu‐Bo Zou, Xiu‐Min Lin +1 more

A scheme is proposed for realizing geometric quantum computation with one-qubit unitary gates and $N$-qubit $(N\ensuremath{\ge}2)$ phase gates in cavity QED. In the scheme, the cavity field and excited states are virtually excited by controlling appropriately atom-field couplings and engineering adiabatic passage; thus the gate operations are insensitive to the cavity decay and the atomic spontaneous emission. Furthermore, the $N$-qubit $(N\ensuremath{\ge}2)$ geometric phase gates can be realized just by one step and the required time does not increase with the number of qubits, which can significantly reduce complexity of physical realization of practical quantum computation and quantum algorithms.

Scheme for unconventional geometric quantum computation in cavity QED

Xun‐Li Feng, Zisheng Wang, Chunfeng Wu +3 more

In this paper, we present a scheme for implementing the unconventional geometric two-qubit phase gate with nonzero dynamical phase based on two-channel Raman interaction of two atoms in a cavity. We show that the dynamical phase and the total phase for a cyclic evolution are proportional to the geometric phase in the same cyclic evolution; hence they possess the same geometric features as does the geometric phase. In our scheme, the atomic excited state is adiabatically eliminated, and the operation of the proposed logic gate involves only the metastable states of the atoms; thus the effect of the atomic spontaneous emission can be neglected. The influence of the cavity decay on our scheme is examined. It is found that the relations regarding the dynamical phase, the total phase, and the geometric phase in the ideal situation are still valid in the case of weak cavity decay. Feasibility and the effect of the phase fluctuations of the driving laser fields are also discussed.

Quantum Computation with Trapped Ions in an Optical Cavity

Jiannis K. Pachos, HERBERT WALTHER

Two-qubit logical gates are proposed on the basis of two atoms trapped in a cavity setup and commonly addressed by laser fields. Losses in the interaction by spontaneous transitions are efficiently suppressed by employing adiabatic transitions and the quantum Zeno effect. Dynamical and geometrical conditional phase gates are suggested. This method provides fidelity and a success rate of its gates very close to unity. Hence, it is suitable for performing quantum computation.
