Abstract

We propose a strategy to physically implement a universal set of quantum gates based on geometric phases accumulated in the nondegenerate eigenstates of a designated invariant operator in a periodic physical system. The system is driven to evolve in such a way that the dynamical phase shifts of the invariant operator eigenstates are identical (or mod $2\ensuremath{\pi}$) while the corresponding geometric phases are nontrivial. We illustrate how this strategy works in a simple but typical NMR-type qubit system.

Universal quantum gates based on a pair of orthogonal cyclic states: Application to NMR systems

Shi-Liang Zhu, Z. D. Wang

We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to achieve quantum computation based on a pair of orthogonal cyclic states. In this scheme, quantum gates can be implemented based on the total phase accumulated in cyclic evolutions. In particular, geometric quantum computation may be achieved by eliminating the dynamic phase accumulated in the whole evolution. Therefore, both dynamic and geometric operations for quantum computation are workable in the present theory. Physical implementation of this set of gates is designed for NMR systems. Also interestingly, we show that a set of universal geometric quantum gates in NMR systems may be realized in one cycle by simply choosing specific parameters of the external rotating magnetic fields. In addition, we demonstrate explicitly a multiloop method to remove the dynamic phase in geometric quantum gates.

Implementation of Universal Quantum Gates Based on Nonadiabatic Geometric Phases

Shi-Liang Zhu, Z. D. Wang

We propose an experimentally feasible scheme to achieve quantum computation based on nonadiabatic geometric phase shifts, in which a cyclic geometric phase is used to realize a set of universal quantum gates. Physical implementation of this set of gates is designed for Josephson junctions and for NMR systems. Interestingly, we find that the nonadiabatic phase shift may be independent of the operation time under appropriate controllable conditions. A remarkable feature of the present nonadiabatic geometric gates is that there is no intrinsic limitation on the operation time.

Unconventional Geometric Quantum Computation

Shi-Liang Zhu, Ziang Wang

We propose a new class of unconventional geometric gates involving nonzero dynamic phases, and elucidate that geometric quantum computation can be implemented by using these gates. Comparing with the conventional geometric gate operation, in which the dynamic phase shift must be removed or avoided, the gates proposed here may be operated more simply. We illustrate in detail that unconventional nontrivial two-qubit geometric gates with built-in fault-tolerant geometric features can be implemented in real physical systems.

Geometric quantum computation and dynamical invariant operators

Zhen Wang

An entangling quantum gate based entirely on purely geometric operations is proposed in quantum computation for the Jaynes-Cummings model by the invariant theory, where the qubits include information about the states of photons. By controlling some arbitrary parameters in the invariant operators, the phase accumulated in the quantum gate is a pure geometric phase. This way may be extended to other physical systems.

Genuinely noncyclic geometric gates in two-pulse schemes

Nils Eivarsson, Erik Sjöqvist

While most approaches to geometric quantum computation are based on geometric phases in cyclic evolution, noncyclic geometric gates have been proposed to increase further the flexibility. While these gates remove the dynamical phase of the computational basis, they do not, in general, remove it from the eigenstates of the time evolution operator, which makes the geometric nature of the gates ambiguous. Here, we resolve this ambiguity by proposing a scheme for genuinely noncyclic geometric gates. These gates are obtained by evolving the computational basis along open paths consisting of geodesic segments, and simultaneously assuring that no dynamical phase is acquired by the eigenstates of the time evolution operator. While we illustrate the scheme for the simplest nontrivial case of two geodesic segments starting at each computational basis state of a single qubit, the scheme can be straightforwardly extended to more elaborate paths, more qubits, or even qudits.

Nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation using a single-loop scenario

Xin-Ding Zhang, Shi-Liang Zhu, Lian Hu +1 more

A single-loop scenario is proposed to realize nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation. Conventionally, a so-called multiloop approach is used to remove the dynamical phase accumulated in the operation process for geometric quantum gates. More intriguingly, we here illustrate in detail how to use a special single-loop method to remove the dynamical phase and thus to construct a set of universal quantum gates based on the nonadiabatic geometric phase shift. The present scheme is applicable to NMR systems and may be feasible in other physical systems.
