Abstract

Highly entangled states called cluster states are a universal resource for measurement-based quantum computing (QC). Here we propose an efficient method for producing large cluster states using superconducting quantum circuits. We show that a large cluster state can be efficiently generated in just one step by turning on the interqubit coupling for a short time. Because the interqubit coupling is only switched on during the time interval for generating the cluster state, our approach is also convenient for preparing the initial state for each qubit and for implementing one-way QC via single-qubit measurements. Moreover, the cluster state is robust against parameter variations.

Efficient One-Step Generation of Cluster State with Charge Qubits in Circuit QED

Wang Yi-min, Cheng-Zu Li

We propose theoretical schemes to generate highly entangled cluster state with superconducting qubits in a circuit QED architecture. Charge qubits are located inside a superconducting transmission line, which serves as a quantum data bus. We show that large clusters state can be efficiently generated in just one step with the long-range Ising-like unitary operators. The quantum operations which are generally realized by two coupling mechanisms: either voltage coupling or current coupling, depend only on global geometric features and are insensitive not only to the thermal state of the transmission line but also to certain random operation errors. Thus high-fidelity one-way quantum computation can be achieved.

One-step preparation of cluster states in quantum-dot molecules

Guo‐Ping Guo, Hui Zhang, Tao Tu +1 more

Cluster states, a special type of highly entangled states, are a universal resource for measurement-based quantum computation. Here, we propose an efficient one-step generation scheme for cluster states in semiconductor quantum dot molecules, where qubits are encoded on singlet and triplet states of two coupled quantum dots. By applying a collective electrical field or simultaneously adjusting interdot bias voltages of all double-dot molecules, we get a switchable Ising-like interaction between any two adjacent quantum molecule qubits. The initialization, the single-qubit measurement, and the experimental parameters are discussed. It is shown that preparation of large cluster states and one-way quantum computation are implementable in semiconductor quantum dots with the present techniques.

Measurement-based quantum computation with superconducting charge qubits

Xiang‐Bin Wang, J. Q. You, Franco Nori

We present a robust method, based only on measurements, to produce superconducting cluster states. The measurement of the current of a few parallel Josephson-junction qubits realizes a novel type of quantum-state selector. Using this selector, one can produce various quantum entangled states and also realize a controlled-NOT gate without requiring an exact control of the interqubit interactions. In particular, cluster states for quantum computation could be produced with only single-qubit measurements.

One-step generation of cluster states in superconducting charge qubits coupled with a nanomechanical resonator

Gang Chen, Zidong Chen, Lixian Yu +1 more

We present a scalable solid-state system in which the superconducting charge qubits are coupled with a nanomechanical resonator (NAMR) to achieve highly entangled cluster states, which are responsible for one-way quantum computing via single-qubit measurements. Since the NAMR can play the essential role of the data bus, the long-range interactions among the qubits can occur. Therefore, without using the interacting picture we can directly obtain the long-range Ising-like unitary operator ${U}_{z}(\ensuremath{\lambda})=\mathrm{exp}[i\ensuremath{\lambda}{S}_{z}^{2}]$ with ${S}_{z}$ the collective spin operator in $z$ direction and $\ensuremath{\lambda}$ a parameter, which is insensitive to the thermal state of the NAMR. Based on this unitary operator, a set of highly entangled cluster states can be produced by efficient one-step generation. Moreover, the robustness of the highly entangled cluster states with respect to unavoidable parameter variations is also demonstrated.

Four-Qubit Cluster States Generation through Multi-Coin Quantum Walk

Tianyi Wang, Xiaoguang Chen, Jianxiong Liang

Quantum computing requires large numbers of resources of entangled qubits, which cannot be satisfied using traditional methods of entanglement generation, such as optical systems. Therefore, we need more efficient ways of entanglement generation. It has been proved that multi-coin quantum walks can be used to replace direct Bell state measurements during the process of entanglement generation in order to avoid the difficulty of Bell state measurement. In this paper, we take one step further and generate 4-qubit cluster states using multi-coin quantum walks, which simplifies the generation of 4-qubit cluster states by using only Bell states and local measurements. We also propose a method for preparing 4-qubit cluster states with quantum circuits to facilitate their use in quantum computing.

One-way quantum computing in superconducting circuits

F. Albarrán-Arriagada, G. Alvarado Barrios, Mikel Sanz +4 more

We propose a method for the implementation of one-way quantum computing in superconducting circuits. Measurement-based quantum computing is a universal quantum computation paradigm in which an initial cluster state provides the quantum resource, while the iteration of sequential measurements and local rotations encodes the quantum algorithm. Up to now, technical constraints have limited a scalable approach to this quantum computing alternative. The initial cluster state can be generated with available controlled-phase gates, while the quantum algorithm makes use of high-fidelity readout and coherent feedforward. With current technology, we estimate that quantum algorithms with above 20 qubits may be implemented in the path toward quantum supremacy. Moreover, we propose an alternative initial state with properties of maximal persistence and maximal connectedness, reducing the required resources of one-way quantum computing protocols.
