We propose a new scheme to realize holonomic quantum computation with rf-SQUID qubits in a microwave cavity. In this scheme associated with the non-Abelian holonomies, the single-qubit gates and a two-qubit control-Phase gate as well as a control-NOT gate can be easily constructed by tuning adiabatically the Rabi frequencies of classical microwave pulses coupled to the SQUIDs. The fidelity of these gates is estimated to be possibly higher than 90 % with the current technology.

Abstract The intrinsic difficulties of holonomic quantum computation on superconducting circuits are originated from the use of three levels in superconducting transmon qubits and the complicated dispersive interaction between them. Due to the limited anharmonicity of transmon qubits, the experimental realization seems to be very challenging. However, with recent experimental progress, coherent control over microwave photons in superconducting circuit cavities is well achieved, and thus provides a promising platform for quantum information processing with photonic qubits. Here, with all resonant inter-cavity photon–photon interactions, we propose a scheme for implementing scalable holonomic quantum computation on a circuit QED lattice. In our proposal, three cavities, connected by a SQUID, are used to encode a logical qubit. By tuning the inter-cavity photon–photon interaction, we can construct all the holonomies needed for universal quantum computation in a non-adiabatic way. Therefore, our scheme presents a promising alternative for robust quantum computation with microwave photons.
We proposed an efficient scheme for constructing a quantum controlled phase-shift gate and generating the cluster states with rf superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) coupled to a microwave cavity through adiabatic evolution of dark eigenstates. During the operation, the spontaneous emission is suppressed since the rf SQUIDs are always in the three lowest flux states. Considering the influence from the cavity decay with achievable experimental parameters, we numerically analyze the success probability and the fidelity for generating the two-SQUID maximally entangled state and the controlled phase-shift gate by adiabatic passage.
Based on superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID's) coupled to a cavity, we propose a scheme for implementing a quantum phase-shift gate and generating a W state by an adiabatic evolution of dark eigenstates, without any contributions from dynamical and geometric gates. The Sole requirement is of adiabatically increasing or decreasing Rabi frequencies of classical microwave pluses. Thus, the manipulation is robust against certain types of errors. We also analyze the experimental possibility that identical coupling can be achieved between SQUID qubits and cavity fields, and the cavity decay can be ignored in certain conditions. Based on a simple operation, our scheme may be realized in this solid-state system.
Holonomic quantum computation (HQC) realizes quantum gates through non-Abelian geometric phases, providing an experimentally accessible approach to quantum control. While the nonadiabatic HQC framework has been extensively developed for three-level Λ systems encoding qubits, its systematic extension to higher-dimensional qudits remains largely unexplored. In this work, we generalize nonadiabatic HQC to a d-pod configuration, where a single excited state is coupled to d ground states, the latter forming the computational subspace. This scheme enables universal holonomic single- and two-qudit gates using only optical or microwave pulses on trapped atoms or ions, offering an efficient route to implement a discrete universal gate set with minimal pulse coordination. As an explicit example, we analyze in detail the qutrit (d=3) case, demonstrating compact realizations of single- and two-qutrit holonomic gates, each gate requiring at most two loops in the Grassmannian generated by at most three pulses.
Quantum computation is much more effective than classical computation in solving many problems such as factoring large integers and searching unsorted databases. However, such effectiveness relies on the ability to perform universal high-fidelity quantum gates. One main challenge in achieving such high-fidelity gates is to reduce control errors of a quantum system. To overcome this problem, various proposals of fault-tolerant quantum computation are proposed. A promising one of such proposals is nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation. Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation is realized by using a quantum system with a subspace satisfying both the cyclic evolution and parallel transport conditions. For an N dimensional quantum system with Hamiltonian H(t) and evolution operator U(t)=Texp[−i∫0tH(t')dt'] , if there exists a time-dependent L dimensional subspace S(t) spanned by the orthonormal vectors {|ϕk(t)〉=U(t)|ϕk(0)〉}k=1L that satisfy the two conditions: (1) ∑k=1L|ϕk(τ)〉〈ϕk(τ)|= ∑k=1L|ϕk(0)〉〈ϕk(0)| , with τ being the evolution period, and (2) 〈ϕk(t)|H(t)|ϕl(t)〉=0, k,l=1,2,⋯,L, then the unitary transformation U(τ) is a holonomic gate on the L dimensional subspace S(0) spanned by {|ϕk(0)〉}k=1L . The work of realizing nonadiabatic holonomic gate is to build a physical system with a Hamiltonian satisfying both the cyclic evolution condition and the parallel transport condition. Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation is based on nonadiabatic non-Abelian geometric phases. Since nonadiabatic non-Abelian geometric phases are only dependent on evolution paths but independent of evolution details, nonadiabatic holonomic gates are robust against control errors. Besides, nonadiabatic holonomic gates do not require the long run-time evolution that is necessary for adiabatic holonomic gates. Due to the merits of both robustness against control errors and high-speed realization, nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation has received increasing attention in theory and experiment. Various schemes of nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation have been proposed based on different physical systems, and a number of these schemes have been experimentally demonstrated with nuclear magnetic resonance systems, nitrogen-vacancy center systems, and superconducting systems. The progress of nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation is also reflected in the improvement of the methods of designing quantum gates. The single-shot scheme, single-loop multiple-pulse scheme and composite gate scheme of nonadiabatic quantum gate are based on the improved methods. In particular, the single-shot scheme simplifies the operation of the one-qubit gate, so that the operation of any one-qubit gate, which needs to be realized by combining two non-commuting π-rotation gate in the original scheme, can be simply realized by a single-shot operation. In this paper, we propose a scheme of nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation with atom-cavity system. The universal set of quantum gates in our scheme consists of an arbitrary one-qubit nonadiabatic holonomic gate and a two-qubit nonadiabatic holonomic controlled-PHASE gate. To realize the arbitrary one-qubit gate, we use two resonant laser pulses and an off-resonant laser pulse to drive a single four-level atom. With the aid of Stark shifts, the one-qubit gate can be performed in one-step only by changing the Rabi frequencies and the phases of the laser pulses. To realize the two-qubit controlled-PHASE gate, we use two off-resonant laser pulses to drive the two four-level atoms in the cavity. The transitions between the two-atom ground state and the two-atom auxiliary state is facilitated by exchanging virtual photons through a common cavity mode. In this process, the effective two-atom transition is disentangled from the cavity mode and therefore the two-qubit gate is insensitive to the cavity decay.
