Remote Implementation of a Fredkin Gate via Virtual Excitation of an Atom-Cavity-Fiber System

Simple operations and robust results are always of interest for any quantum tasks. Herein, a novel scheme is proposed for implementing a Fredkin gate via the virtual excitation of an atom-cavity-fiber system. The scheme is to control the nonlocal state-swap of two spatially separated target atoms according to the state of the control atom at hand. In the scheme, only the control atom at hand needs the laser to drive and the virtual excitation of the atom-cavity-fiber system effectively suppresses the decoherence. By numerical simulations, appreciated parameters are chosen and it is shown that the Fredkin gate can be implemented with high fidelity. Although the operation time error has slightly stronger influence on the fidelity than atom-cavity coupling strength error, the robustness of the scheme can be effectively improved against the operation time error by adopting Gaussian pulse to replace the constant pulse. In addition, the scheme can be generalized to implement alternative Fredkin gates by controlling the non-local state-swap of two remote atoms or of two remote and spatially separated atoms, which will be undoubtedly of benefit to the distributed quantum computation and remote quantum information processing.     

一个传送原子纠缠态的新方案

本文提出一个通过原子和腔场相互作用传送未知原子纠缠态的新方案,并且成功概率为100%.在这个方案里,我们主要利用两个原子用来接受被传送的原子纠缠态以及一个双模腔作为量子通道.由于腔场的两个模具有不同的频率和正交极化,因此这两个模能够被区分,并且处于腔场的不同区域.原子和腔场通过J-C哈密顿量发生共振相互作用,当原子和其中一个模相互作用时,另外一个模不受影响.该方案既不需要贝尔态测量,也不需要任何操作重构纠缠初态.这个方案也可以推广到传送N个原子的纠缠态.     

利用三原子W类纠缠态在腔量子电动力学体系中实现单原子态的远程制备

提出了两个利用三原子W类纠缠态作为量子通道.在腔量子电动力学(QED)体系中实现单原子态的远程制备方案:一个是接收者借助于原子与单模腔场之间的大失谐相互作用实现初始态重建,另一个则是接受者利用原子与单模腔场之间的共振相互作用完成远程态制备.两方案中都涉及到了一位发送者和两位接收者,发送者可以将被传送态远程制备到两位接收者中的任何一位的手中,而另一位接受者必须为其提供必要的协助.表明利用原子与腔场之间的大失谐相互作用的方法可以很好地克服腔场的消相干,降低对腔品质因子的要求;而利用共振相互作用的方法则无需引入辅助原子,操作简便.但不论采用何种方法,实现单原子远程态制备的总成功概率是相同的.     

Strong-Driving-Assisted Probabilistic State Preparation in Cavity QED

An alternative scheme is proposed for preparing the superpositions of coherent states with controllable weighting factors along a straight line for a cavity field. The scheme is based on the interaction of a single-mode cavity field with a resonant two-level atom driven by a strong classical field. It is in contrast to the previous methods used in cavity QED of injecting a coherent state into a cavity via a microwave source. In the scheme, the interaction between the cavity mode and atoms is fully resonant, thus the required interaction time is greatly shortened. Moreover, the present scheme requires smaller numbers of operations. In view of decoherence, a reduction of interaction time and numbers of operations for the state preparation is very important for experimental implementation of quantum state engineering.

Scheme for Realizing Deterministic Entanglement Concentration with Atoms Via Cavity QED

A scheme for concentrating entanglement in two partially entangled Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs using repetitious resonant interactions of the atoms with a single-mode cavity field is proposed. A maximally entangled EPR pair can be deterministically extracted with the success probability of 1.0. In the scheme, the two logical states of a qubit are represented by the two lowest levels of an atom while a higher-energy intermediate level is used to facilitate the realization of the unitary operations, and all the operations required to realize deterministic entanglement concentration can be implemented in a reasonable amount of time before decoherence sets in. The scheme might be experimentally realizable with presently available cavity QED techniques and gives a realistic means to realize entanglement concentration deterministically.     

Alternative Scheme for Teleportation of Two-Atom Entangled State in Cavity QED

We have proposed an alternative scheme for teleportation of two-atom entangled state in cavity QED. It is based on the degenerate Raman interaction of a single-mode cavity field with a A-type three-level atom. The prominent feature of the scheme is that only one cavity is required, which is prior to the previous one. Moreover, the atoms need to be detected are reduced compared with the previous scheme. The experimental feasibility of the scheme is discussed. The scheme can easily be generalized for teleportation of N-atom GHZ entangled states. The number of the atoms needed to be detected does not increase as the number of the atoms in GHZ state increases.     

Single atom transistor in a 1D optical lattice

We propose a scheme utilizing a quantum interference phenomenon to switch the transport of atoms in a 1D optical lattice through a site containing an impurity atom. The impurity represents a qubit which in one spin state is transparent to the probe atoms, but in the other acts as a single atom mirror. This allows a single-shot quantum nondemolition measurement of the qubit spin.     

Probabilistic Cloning of two Single-Atom States via Thermal Cavity

We propose a cavity QED scheme for implementing the 1 → 2 probabilistic quantum cloning (PQC) of two single-atom states. In our scheme, after the to-be-cloned atom and the assistant atom passing through the first cavity, a measurement is carried out on the assistant atom. Based on the measurement outcome we can judge whether the PQC should be continued. If the cloning fails, the other operations are omitted. This makes our scheme economical. If the PQC is continued (with the optimal probability) according to the measurement outcome, two more cavities and some unitary operations are used for achieving the PQC in a deterministic way. Our scheme is insensitive to the decays of the cavities and the atoms.     

Feedback stabilization of atoms in an optical lattice

The feasibility of using feedback for stabilization of atoms in an off-resonance optical lattice is demonstrated. In the proposed scheme, the collective coordinate of atoms is measured and instantaneously compensated for via a spatial shift of the potential of the optical lattice. An external action that provides for heating of atoms with subsequent decrease in their lifetime in the lattice is simulated by a set of independent reservoirs, each interacting only with one atom. A quantum-mechanical analysis of the problem shows that the use of the feedback within the proposed scheme makes it possible to stabilize the energy of atoms at a level below the equilibrium energy.     

A simple quantum gate with atom chips

We present a simple scheme for implementing an atomic phase gate using two degrees of freedom for each atom and discuss its realization with cold rubidium atoms on atom chips. We investigate the performance of this collisional phase gate and show that gate operations with high fidelity can be realized in magnetic traps that are currently available on atom chips.     

On the realization of atomic dipole squeezing by remote manipulation

A scheme for adjusting the dipole squeezing properties of one atom at one place by manipulating and detecting another atom at the remote place is proposed, in which these atoms initially in the spatially separated entangled state act as a quantum channel carrying quantum information. The result shows that the dipole squeezing properties of one atom can be adjusted by rotating and detecting the other, and the maximal atomic squeezing can be obtained under local operation and classical communication.     

Preparation of cluster state in large detuned cavity

An experimentally realizable physical scheme for preparing multiqubit cluster states from a large detuned atomcavity interaction is proposed. The scheme is free of any type of measurement and insensitive to the cavity decay, and the cavity field is only virtually excited so that there is no information exchanging between atom and cavity. The time required for the gate operations is very short, which is important for decoherence. We also discuss the experimental feasibility of our scheme.     

Implementation of n-qubit Deutsch--Jozsa algorithm using resonant interaction in cavity QED

We propose a scheme to implement the n-qubit Deutsch--Jozsa algorithm based on resonant interaction between the atoms and a single-mode cavity. In the scheme, the resonant transitions between two ground states and one excited state of an atom are changed alternately by adjusting the cavity frequency appropriately, and the operations required to complete the algorithm can be significantly simplified following the increment of the number of qubits. The implementation of the scheme in experiment would show the full power of quantum algorithm and would be significative and important for more complicated quantum algorithm in cavity quantum electrodynamics.     

Quantum State Transfer between Two Distant Atoms by Connecting Two Cavities via Optical Fibres

A scheme is proposed to unconditionally implement state transfer between two distant atoms by sending the atoms across two distant cavities connected via an optical fibre, respectively. The field state, which preserves the information about the first atom, is transmitted from one cavity to the other along the fibre. A Faraday rotator integrated in the fibre can be designed to completely stop the fields reflected from the second cavity, thus after the field interacts with the second atom for a defined time, the state transfer can be accomplished with unit efficiency.

Defects in ion-implanted hcp-titanium: A first-principles study of electronic structures

The electronic structures of hexagonal closed-packed (h.c.p) titanium containing a vacancy and krypton impurity atoms at various insertion sites are calculated by first-principles methods in the framework of the density-functional theory (DFT). The density of states (DOS) for titanium containing a vacancy defect shows resonance-like features. Also, the bulk electron density decreases from ∼0.15/ų to ∼0.05/ų at the vacancy centre. Electronic structure calculations have been performed to investigate what underlies the krypton site preference in titanium. The DOS of the nearest-neighbour (NN) titanium atoms to the octahedral krypton appears to be less distorted (relative to pure titanium) when compared to the NN titanium atoms to the tetrahedral krypton. The electronic density deformation maps show that polarization of the titanium atoms is stronger when the krypton atom is located at the tetrahedral site. Since krypton is a closed-shell atom, thus precluding any bonding with the titanium atoms, we may conclude that the polarization of the electrons in the vicinity of the inserted krypton atoms and the distortion of the DOS of the NN titanium atoms to the krypton serve to indicate which defect site is preferred when a krypton atom is inserted into titanium. Based on these considerations, we conclude that the substitutional site is the most favourable one, and the octahedral is the preferred interstitial site, in agreement with recent DFT calculations of the energetics of krypton impurity sites.     

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.
