Robust controlled-Z gate for Rydberg atoms based on level-crossing-free echoing rapid adiabatic passage

We propose a controlled-Z gate scheme for Rydberg atoms based on level-crossing-free echoing rapid adiabatic population transfer. We design antisymmetric Rabi frequency pulses and symmetric detuning pulses, enabling the system to completely avoid level-crossing points throughout the evolution, and the dynamical phase is naturally eliminated by the time-reversal symmetry of the double-pulse sequence. We incorporate dissipative effects through the Lindblad master equation. The numerical simulation yields a two-qubit CZ gate fidelity of 0.9999. When the Rabi-frequency fluctuation is within $\pm 2\%$, and the detuning offset is within $\pm 1\%$, the fidelity can still remain above 0.999. Under the same dissipative model, the three-qubit CCZ gate achieves a fidelity of 0.999. When a single-parameter fluctuation does not exceed $\pm 3\%$, the fidelity is always higher than 0.997. Our scheme requires no laser phase jumps or fast switching operations. The zero-area pulse structure suppresses first-order intensity noise, and the symmetric double-pulse sequence avoids spatially resolved laser switching, making it suitable for parallel gate operations in large-scale neutral-atom arrays.

Parametric resonance and nonlinear dynamics in a coupled double-pendulum system

Nonlinear dynamics plays a significant role in interdisciplinary fields spanning biology, engineering, mathematics, and physics. Under small-amplitude approximations, certain nonlinear systems can be effectively described by the linear Mathieu equation, which is widely recognized for modeling the response of systems with periodically modulated parameters. Here we investigated a collision-coupled double pendulum system within the framework of Lagrangian mechanics, further explored the nonlinear dynamical characteristics and parametric resonance phenomena at large angular displacements-features that cannot be described by the Mathieu equation alone. Our experiments demonstrate that parametric resonance consistently occurs within a characteristic frequency ratio range ($ \omega /{{\omega }_{0}} $) starting from 2, in agreement with theoretical predictions and numerical simulations. We also find, under periodic driving at moderate frequencies, the system requires initial perturbations to stabilize into periodic states. We propose a novel example in nonlinear dynamics demonstrating large-amplitude parametric resonance phenomena, which also serves as an experimental and theoretical paradigm for exploring classical-quantum correspondences in time crystal research.

Strongly Coupled Continuous Time Crystal

Time crystals are classified into discrete time crystals and continuous time crystals based on whether they spontaneously break time-translation symmetry. Continuous-time crystals do not require external driving. By introducing AdS/CFT duality to time crystals, we derive their thermodynamic limit and find that in strongly correlated many-body systems such as a 3D optical lattice(ions or tweezer in supplemental materials), cooperative many-body tunneling enables time crystals to oscillate spontaneously. In strongly correlated quantum systems driven by many-body cooperative tunneling, we discover a universal scaling law governing the time-crystalline phase transition at a critical temperature.

Geometric Quantum Gates of Non-closed Paths Under Counterdiabatic Driving

Non-adiabatic and non-closed evolutionary paths play a significant role in the fidelity of quantum gates. We propose a high-fidelity quantum control framework based on the quasi-topological number ($\nu_{\text{qua}}$), which extends the traditional Chern number to characterize geometric responses in non-closed paths. By introducing a counterdiabatic gauge potential (AGP) that dynamically suppresses non-adiabatic transitions and reconstructs path curvature, we demonstrate that $\nu_{\text{qua}}$ -a relative homotopy invariant of compact manifolds in parameter space-quantifies the robustness of geometric phases during open-path quantum evolution. This integer invariant ensures gauge-invariant suppression of decoherence errors arising from dynamical phase coupling. By introducing nonlinear parametric ring paths, we address the defects caused by intermediate states in the Rydberg atomic system. Numerical simulations in the Kitaev superconducting chain and 2D transverse-field Ising model confirm that our protocol achieves quantum gate fidelity exceeding $\mathcal{F} > 0.9999$. We bridges geometric quantum control with topological protection, offering a universal approach to noise-resistant quantum computing.
