Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation (NHQC) provides a method to implement error resilient gates and that has attracted considerable attention recently. Since it was proposed, three-level {Lambda} systems have become the typical building block for NHQC and a number of NHQC schemes have been developed based on such systems. In this paper, we investigate the realization of NHQC beyond the standard three-level setting. The central idea of our proposal is to improve NHQC by enlarging the Hilbert space of the building block system and letting it have a bipartite graph structure in order to ensure purely holonomic evolution. Our proposal not only improves conventional qubit-based NHQC by efficiently reducing its duration, but also provides implementations of qudit-based NHQC. Therefore, our proposal provides a further development of NHQC that can contribute significantly to the physical realization of efficient quantum information processors.
Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation has received increasing attention due to its robustness against control errors as well as high-speed realization. Several schemes of its implementation have been put forward based on various physical systems, each of which has some particular merits. In this paper, we put forward an alternative scheme of nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation, in which a universal set of quantum gates is realized based on Rydberg superatoms. A Rydberg superatom is a mesoscopic atomic ensemble that allows for only a single Rydberg excitation shared by many atoms within a blockade radius and can be used to generate the collective states to encode the qubits. In our scheme, the qubit is encoded into two collective ground states of Rydberg superatoms and the interaction between two long-range Rydberg superatoms is mediated by a microwave cavity with the aid of two additional collective Rydberg states. Different from the previous schemes,which are based on the systems in the microscope scale, the present scheme is based on atomic ensembles in the mesoscopic scale. Besides the common merits of nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation such as the robustness and the speediness, the Rydberg-superatom-based scheme has the following particular merits: the long coherence time of Rydberg states and the operability of the mesoscopic systems.
The main obstacles to the realization of high-fidelity quantum gates are the control errors arising from inaccurate manipulation of a quantum system and the decoherence caused by the interaction between the quantum system and its environment. Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation allows for high-speed implementation of whole-geometric quantum gates, making quantum computation robust against control errors. Dynamical decoupling provides an effective method to protect quantum gates against environment-induced decoherence, regardless of collective decoherence or independent decoherence. In this paper, we put forward a protocol of nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation protected by dynamical decoupling . Due to the combination of nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation and dynamical decoupling, our protocol not only possesses the intrinsic robustness against control errors but also protects quantum gates against environment-induced decoherence.
The main challenges in achieving high-fidelity quantum gates are to reduce the influence of control errors caused by imperfect Hamiltonians and the influence of decoherence caused by environment noise. To overcome control errors, a promising proposal is nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation, which has attracted much attention in both theories and experiments. While the merit of holonomic operations resisting control errors has been well exploited, an important issue following is how to shorten the evolution time needed for realizing a holonomic gate so as to avoid the influence of environment noise as much as possible. In this paper, we put forward a general approach of constructing Hamiltonians for nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation, which makes it possible to minimize the evolution time and might open a new horizon for the realistic implementation of nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation.
In this paper, we propose a scheme for implementing the nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation (NHQC+) of two Rydberg atoms by using invariant-based reverse engineering (IBRE). The scheme is based on Forster resonance induced by strong dipole-dipole interaction between two Rydberg atoms, which provides a selective coupling mechanism to simply the dynamics of system. Moreover, for improving the fidelity of the scheme, the optimal control method is introduced to enhance the gate robustness against systematic errors. Numerical simulations show the scheme is robust against the random noise in control fields, the deviation of dipole-dipole interaction, the Forster defect, and the spontaneous emission of atoms. Therefore, the scheme may provide some useful perspectives for the realization of quantum computation with Rydberg atoms.
We explain how to combine holonomic quantum computation (HQC) with fault tolerant quantum error correction. This establishes the scalability of HQC, putting it on equal footing with other models of computation, while retaining the inherent robustness the method derives from its geometric nature.
