Resonant scheme for realizing quantum phase gates for two separate atoms via coupled cavities

We propose a scheme for realizing conditional quantum phase gates for two atoms that are distributed in two coupled cavities. Due to the resonant interaction in temporal evolution of the entire system, the gate operation time is greatly reduced as compared with that of the nonresonant schemes. We study the influence of imperfections in the interaction and the effect of decoherence and find the gate to be robust. We discuss the issue related to the practical implementation and show that the gate is accessible within the current cavity QED technology.     

Approximate Toffoli Gate Originated from a Single Resonant Interaction of Cavity Dissipation and Atomic Spontaneous Emission

We propose a potentially practical scheme to implement an approximate three-qubit Toffoli gate by a single resonant interaction in dissipative cavity QED in which the cavity mode decay and atomic spontaneous emission are considered. The scheme does not require two-qubit controlled-NOT gates but uses a three-qubit phase gate and two Hadamard gates, where the approximate phase gate can be implemented by only a single dissipative resonant interaction of atoms with the cavity mode. Discussions are made for the advantages and the experimental feasibility of our scheme.     

Quantum computation with trapped ions in an optical cavity

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.     

Controlled phase gates based on two nonidentical quantum dots trapped in separate cavities

We propose a scheme for realizing two-qubit controlled phase gates on two nonidentical quantum dots trapped in separate cavities. In our scheme, each dot simultaneously interacts with one highly detuned cavity mode and two strong driven classical fields. During the gate operation, the quantum dots undergo no transition, while the system can acquire different phases conditional on different states of the quantum dots. With the application of the single-qubit operations, two-qubit controlled phase gates can be realized.     

Scheme for n phase gates operation and one-step preparation of highly entangled cluster state

In the system with superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) in a cavity, we propose a scheme for simultaneous implementing n phase gates and one step preparing the highly entangled cluster states based on the two-channel Raman interaction. In our scheme, the system is independent to the photon number of the cavity field, the cavity field can be initially in an arbitrary state, which is convenient for the experimental operation. The n phase gates operation and the cluster state generation are realized by using only the two lower flux states of the SQUID and the excited state would not be excited so that the influence of the decoherence due to spontaneous emission of the SQUID’s levels is possible to minimize. More importantly, the operation time of the phase gates is independent of the number n of the qubits. Finally, the experimental feasibility is also discussed in detail.     

Implementation of Controlled Geometric Phase Gate for Two Trapped Neutral Atoms

We propose a scheme for realizing a controlled geometric phase gate for twoneutral atoms. We apply the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage to transferatoms from their ground states into Rydberg excited states, and use theRydberg interaction induced energy shifts to generate geometric phase andconstruct quantum gates.     

Schemes for preparing atomic qubit cluster states in cavity QED

Two schemes are proposed for generating atomic qubits cluster states in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). In the first scheme, only two-atom-cavity interactions are involved, and cluster states can be directly generated by using constructed two-qubit controlled phase gates. The second scheme needs the assistance of additional single-qubit rotations, but takes less time than the first one for two-atom operations in the cavity. In this scheme, two projective operators are constructed to prepare two-dimension or more complicated configurations of cluster states. Both schemes are insensitive to the cavity decay due to the fact that the cavity is only virtually excited during the interaction between atoms and the cavity. The idea can also be applied to the ion trap system.     

Conditional quantum phase gate between two 3-state atoms

We propose a scheme for conditional quantum logic between two 3-state atoms that share a quantum data bus such as a single mode optical field in cavity QED systems, or a collective vibrational state of trapped ions. Making use of quantum interference, our scheme achieves successful conditional phase evolution without any real transitions of atomic internal states or populating the quantum data bus. In addition, it requires only common addressing of the two atoms by external laser fields.     

Robust generation of high-fidelity entangled states for multiple atoms

A scheme is presented for generating entangled states of multiple atoms in a cavity. In the scheme the atoms simultaneously interact with a cavity mode, with the first atom driven by two classical fields and the other atoms driven by a classical field. Our scheme is valid even if the cavity decay rate is larger than the effective coupling strength, which is important for experiment. The generation of entangled states is conditional on the detection of a photon decaying from the cavity and thus the fidelity of the entangled state is insensitive to the detection inefficiency. Furthermore, the scheme can be applied to the case with any number of atoms in principle.     

Scheme for Realizing Kerr Nonlinearity in Cavity QED

We propose a scheme for realizing the Kerr-type nonlinearity for a cavity mode. In the scheme the cavity mode interacts with a single three-level atom dispersively. Under certain conditions, the evolution of the cavity field, decoupled from the atomic degree of freedom, corresponds to the Kerr effect. The scheme can be generalized to implement cross-Kerr effect and two-qubit phase gates for two cavity modes.     

Conditional quantum CNOT gate between two four-level atoms

We propose a scheme to implement a quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate between two four-level atoms inside the detuned optical cavity. The system state is evolved inside the decoherence-free (DF) subspace through stimulated Raman processes, which yields the desired unitary evolution operation for the CNOT.Our scheme is immune to decoherence due to dissipation of cavity excitation and spontaneous emission from the excited atomic level.     

Deterministic generation of squeezing for a cavity field with a collection of driven atoms

We propose an efficient scheme for realizing squeezing for a cavity mode. In the scheme, a collection of ladder-type three-level atoms are trapped in a cavity and driven by two classical fields. Under certain conditions, the cavity field deterministically evolves to a squeezed state. The scheme can also be used for conditional generation of superpositions of different squeezed vacuum states.

An efficient scheme is proposed for the generation of atomic Schrodinger cat states in an optical cavity. Inthe scheme N three-level atoms are loaded in the optical cavity. Raman coupling of two ground states is achieved via alaser field and the cavity mode. The cavity mode is always in the vacuum state and the atoms have no probability ofbeing populated in the excited state. Thus, the scheme is insensitive to both the cavity decay and spontaneous emission.

A scheme is presented for realizing quantum logic gates for two atoms localized in two distant optical cavities. Our scheme works in a regime in which the atom--cavity coupling strength is smaller than the cavity decay rate. Thus the requirement on the quality factor of the cavities is greatly relaxed. Furthermore, the fidelity of our scheme is not affected by detection inefficiency and atomic decay. These advantages are important in view of experiment.

By constructing the recovery operations of the protocol of remote implementation of partially unknown quantum operation of two qubits [An-Min Wang: Phys. Rev. A 74 (2006) 032317] with two-qubit Cnot gate and single qubit logic gates, we present a scheme to implement it in cavity QED. Long-lived Rydberg atoms are used as qubits, and the interaction between the atoms and the field of cavity is a nonresonant one. Finally, we analyze the experimental feasibility of this scheme.     

Scalable quantum computing with Josephson charge-phase qubits inside a cavity

This Letter proposes a theoretical scheme for scalable quantum computing with charge-phase qubits inside a common cavity. Individually addressing the applied gate pulses, we obtain the switchable interqubit couplings mediated by the cavity mode, from which a universal set of logic gates can be constructed. In our scheme the interqubit couplings are completely feasible to perform conditional gates, and the classical microwaves cause negligible leakage errors.

A scheme is proposed for the generation of two-atom maximally entangled states and realization of quantum logic gates and teleportation with cavity QED. The scheme does not require the transfer of quantum information between the atoms and cavity. In the scheme the cavity is only virtually excited and thus the requirement on the quality factor of the cavities is greatly loosened.     

Tunable Nongeometric Phase Gates for Two Hot Ions via Adiabatic Evolution of Dark States

We propose a scheme for implementing nongeometric phase gates fbr two trapped ions via adiabatic passage of dark states. During the operation, the vibrational mode is only virtually excited, thus the scheme is insensitive to heating. Furthermore, the spontaneous emission is suppressed since the ions are always in the electronic ground states. The scheme is robust against small fluctuations of parameters, and the conditional phase is tunable.
