Holographic quantum computing

We propose that a single mesoscopic ensemble of trapped polar molecules can support a "holographic quantum computer" with hundreds of qubits encoded in collective excitations with definite spatial phase variations. Each phase pattern is uniquely addressed by optical Raman processes with classical optical fields, while one- and two-qubit gates are accomplished by selectively transferring the individual qubit states to a stripline microwave cavity field and a Cooper pair box where controllable two-level unitary dynamics is governed by classical microwave fields.

Quantum computing with a single molecular ensemble and a Cooper pair box

We propose to encode quantum information in rotational excitations in a molecular ensemble. Using a stripline cavity field for quantum state transfer between the molecular ensemble and a Cooper pair box two-level system, our proposal offers a linear scaling of the number of qubits in our register with the number of rotationally excited states available in the molecules.

Quantum state reconstruction with imperfect rotations on an inhomogeneously broadened ensemble of qubits

We present a method for performing quantum state reconstruction on qubits and qubit registers in the presence of decoherence and inhomogeneous broadening. The method assumes only rudimentary single qubit rotations as well as knowledge of decoherence and loss mechanisms. We show that full state reconstruction is possible even in the case where single qubit rotations may only be performed imperfectly. Furthermore we show that for ensemble quantum computing proposals, quantum state reconstruction is possible even if the ensemble experiences inhomogeneous broadening and if only imperfect qubit manipulations are available during state preparation and reconstruction.

Effects of ground state hyperfine shifts in quantum computing with optically hole burnt materials

We present an investigation of the effects of constant but random shifts of the ground hyperfine qubit states in the setting of quantum computing with ion doped crystals. Complex hyperbolic secant pulses can be used to transfer ions reliably to electronically excited states, and a perturbative approach is used to analyse the effect of ground state hyperfine shifts. This analysis shows that the errors due to the hyperfine shift are dynamically supressed during gate operation, a fact we attribute to the AC Stark shift. Furthermore we present an implementation of a controlled phase gate which is resilient to the effects of the hyperfine shift. Decoherence and decay effects are included in simulations in order to show that a demonstration of quantum gates is feasible over the relevant range of system parameters.
