Abstract

We solve the Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian with time-dependent coupling parameters under the dipole and rotating-wave approximations for a three-dimensional photonic crystal (PC) single-mode cavity with a sufficiently high-quality Q factor. We then exploit the results to show how to create a maximally entangled state of two atoms and how to implement several quantum logic gates: a dual-rail Hadamard gate, a dual-rail NOT gate, and a SWAP gate. The atoms in all of these operations are syncronized, which is not the case in previous studies of PCs [J. Mod. Opt.48, 1495 (2001); Eur. Phys. J. D10, 285 (2000); Eur. Phys. J. D18, 247 (2002)]. Our method has the potential for extension to N-atom entanglement, universal quantum logic operations, and the implementation of other useful, cavity QED-based quantum information processing tasks.

Cavity QED photons for quantum information processing

Moteb M. Alqahtani, Mark S. Everitt, B. M. Garraway

Abstract Based on a cavity QED framework, we theoretically describe a universal set of logic gates which are implemented by passing a multi-level atom initially in its ground state through a multi-mode cavity. The qubits are encoded on the cavity modes and the atom plays the role of an ancilla which will not be entangled with the final result of a gate operation. We apply the multiphoton resonance theory of Shore to develop effective two- and three-level Hamiltonians, so that the proper values for detunings, coupling coefficients, and interaction times for gate operations can be determined. This enables us to examine a faster iSWAP gate than our previous study and to examine numerically the effects of decoherence on both the iSWAP gate and our previously presented Fredkin gate which used the same multi-mode approach. We also present results that show how conditional measurements of the ancilla atom can improve gate fidelities in these cases.

A scheme for quantum logic gate based on coherent-state qubits in cavity QED system

Shi-Qing Tang, Shunlong Luo, Jiayi Xu

A two-qubit quantum swap gate scheme based on coherent state qubit is proposed in cavity quantum electrodynamics system. Our scheme adopt the interaction between the Λ-type atomic ensemble and the two-mode optical cavity, and the swap gate can be realized directly only one step, so as to save a lot of quantum resources and reduce the number of single qubit rotation operations in the actual quantum information processing. It is found that under the condition of large detuning limit, the excited states of atoms are adiabatically eliminated, and the decoherence caused by the spontaneous emission of atoms is effectively suppressed. All atoms in the optical cavity are universally addressed, which reduces the experimental operation difficulty of the scheme. The fidelity of the quantum logic gate is maintained at a very high level when the photon loss of the cavity field is considered. Compared with the single-atom scheme, it is found that the atom-cavity interaction time required by the atomic ensemble scheme is inversely proportional to the number of atoms, so that the speed of the quantum logic gate can be increased by N times. Therefore, in principle, as long as enough atoms interacting with the optical field, an effective coupling of any atom-cavity field can be generated, which is conducive to selecting the appropriate quantum gate operation time in practical operation and effectively avoiding decoherence.

A scheme for direct implementation of a two-target qubit controlled phase gate with quantum dots in coupled photonic crystal cavities without using classical laser pulses

Xinxin Jiang, Wen‐Xue Cui, Shi Hu +2 more

We propose a scheme to implement a three-qubit controlled phase gate with one control qubit and two target qubits using quantum dots (QDs) in two coupled photonic crystal (PC) cavities A and B. In the scheme, three QDs are embedded in two coupled photonic crystal cavities and the transitions between the levels are only coupled to the cavity modes without being driven by the classical laser fields. We investigate the dynamics of the system consisting of resonant and off-resonant couplings between the cavity modes and QDs and solve the time-dependent Schrodinger equation analytically. The results show that a three-qubit controlled phase gate can be directly implemented using one operational step, by exchanging a single photon between the PC cavities A and B. This scheme greatly simplifies the gate operation in experiments.

A scheme for realization of quantum SWAP gate in cavity QED

Juan He, Ye Liu, NI Zhi-xiang

A scheme is proposed for the realization of quantum SWAP gate in cavity QED.We consider two three-level atoms simultaneously interact with single-mode cavity in the case of large detuning.Moreover,two classical fields are used to perform the rotations on atoms.The operation and implement course are simple and handy.In addition,during the whole course,the cavity is only virtually excited,thus the decoherence time is greatly prolonged and the demand on the quality factor of the cavity is greatly reduced.Within the present cavity QED techniques,the scheme is realizable.

Realization of quantum SWAP gate and preparation for entangled coherent state based on optical microcavity

Shi-Qing Tang

Based on the cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED), we propose two schemes for realization of basic quantum information processing tasks, i.e., constructing a quantum SWAP gate directly and preparation for entangled coherent states. In the present paper, we show that the quantum swap gates of photonic qubits can be implemented only by one step with a three-level Λ-type atom trapped in a bimodal optical cavity. The purpose for the direct construction of swap gates is to save a great many quantum resources in practical quantum information processing and reduce the number of required unitary operation. For the latter, we obtain the entangled coherent states via the large detuning interaction, in the process of the unitary evolution of dressed states. This scheme provides a suitable cavity QED to prepare quantum entanglement for researchers, and provides a wider horizon for the generation of quantum entanglement based on cavity QED, which, to some extent, possesses reference value and guiding effect in the experiment, and the quantum entanglement can be used for the potential application in the quantum information and quantum communication in the future.

Novel photonic bandgap based architectures for quantum computers and networks

Durdu Ö. Güney

All of the approaches for quantum information processing have their own advantages, but unfortunately also their own drawbacks. Ideally, one would merge the most attractive features of those different approaches in a single technology. We envision that large-scale photonic crystal (PC) integrated circuits and fibers could be the basis for robust and compact quantum circuits and processors of the next generation quantum computers and networking devices. Cavity QED, solid-state, and (non)linear optical models for computing, and optical fiber approach for communications are the most promising candidates to be improved through this novel technology. In our work, we consider both digital and analog quantum computing. In the digital domain, we first perform gate- level analysis. To achieve this task, we solve the Jaynes- Cummings Hamiltonian with time-dependent coupling parameters under the dipole and rotating-wave approximations for a 3D PC single-mode cavity with a sufficiently high Q-factor. We then exploit the results to show how to create a maximally entangled state of two atoms and how to implement several quantum logic gates: a dual-rail Hadamard gate, a dual-rail NOT gate, and a SWAP gate. In all of these operations, we synchronize atoms, as opposed to previous studies with PCs. The method has the potential for extension to N-atom entanglement, universal quantum logic operations, and the implementation of other useful, cavity QED-based quantum information processing tasks. In the next part of the digital domain, we study circuit-level implementations. We design and simulate an integrated teleportation and readout circuit on a single PC chip. The readout part of our device can not only be used on its own but can also be integrated with other compatible optical circuits to achieve atomic state detection. Further improvement of the device in terms of compactness and robustness is possible by integrating with sources and detectors in the optical regime. In the analog domain, we consider a quantum simulation problem. We show that the Klein paradox for the Klein-Gordon equation of a spin-zero particle manifests exactly the same kind of wave propagation and negative refraction phenomenon as the scattering of a transverse-electric-polarized electromagnetic wave incident on a negative index medium. Using this peculiar feature of negative index materials, we show that real time control and processing of some quantum experiments related with Klein paradox can be achieved by an optoelectronic simulator designed according to certain transformations and approximations
