Linear optical Bell state measurement for rotation-symmetric cat codes

Rotation-symmetric cat (RS-cat) codes are a bosonic-code platform for quantum information processing, combining finite-energy realizability with robustness against photon loss through their discrete rotational symmetry. For applications in long-distance quantum communication and fusion-based quantum computation (FBQC), efficient Bell state measurement (BSM) is a key primitive. In this work, we consider a BSM protocol for RS-cat codes using only a half beam splitter (HBS) and photon-number-resolving detectors (PNRDs). By exploiting the characteristic photon-number structure induced by the discrete rotational symmetry of RS-cat codes, our protocol extracts both photon-number modulo and phase information for Bell-state discrimination. We show that, under ideal loss-free conditions, the proposed BSM protocol becomes deterministic for arbitrary symmetry order $N$ for sufficiently large amplitudes $\alpha$. We further numerically evaluate the success probability under photon loss and identify the loss regime in which higher-order RS-cat codes provide an advantage. Finally, we show that post-selection can enhance the success probability.

Addressing requirements for crosstalk-free quantum-gate operation in many-body nanofiber cavity QED systems

A distributed network architecture in which flying photons connect individual modules containing stationary atomic qubits is a promising approach for scaling up neutral-atom based quantum-computing platforms. We consider an all-fiber based platform consisting of nanofiber cavity QED systems interconnected via conventional optical fibers. Each nanofiber cavity is strongly coupled to multiple atoms through its evanescent field, and atom pairs within one cavity (local) or two distant cavities (remote) are addressed for performing photon-mediated quantum logic gates on them by controlling the effective light-matter coupling via local AC Stark shifts and atom-fiber distance. We numerically evaluate the required parameters for achieving nearly crosstalk-free gate operation using these targeting methods by calculating average gate fidelities, success probabilities, and Pauli error rates for both local and remote controlled-Z gates. For the case of perfect addressing, we also analytically determine the theoretical optimum gate performance as limited by cavity reflectivity, cooperativity, and qubit level-splitting.

Fault-tolerant logical state construction based on cavity-QED network

Exploring an efficient and scalable architecture of fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) is vital for demonstrating useful quantum computing. Here, we propose and evaluate a scalable and practical architecture with a cavity-quantum-electrodynamics (CQED) network. Our architecture takes advantage of the stability of neutral atoms and the flexibility of a CQED network. We show a concrete framework for implementing surface codes and numerically analyze the logical error rate and threshold values beyond the simplified circuit-level noise model on several network structures. Although the requirement of CQED parameters is demanding given the current performance of experimental systems, we show that an error-decoding algorithm tailored to our proposed architecture, where the loss information of ancillary photons is utilized, greatly improves the error threshold. For example, the internal cooperativity, a good figure of merit of the cavity performance for quantum computing, required for FTQC is relaxed to 1/5 compared to the normal error-decoding for the surface code. Since our proposal and results can be extended to other LDPC codes straightforwardly, our approach will lead to achieve more reliable FTQC using CQED.

High-purity single-photon generation based on cavity QED

We propose a scheme for generating a high-purity single photon on the basis of cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). This scheme employs a four-level system including two excited states, two ground states, and two driving lasers; this structure allows the suppression of the re-excitation process due to the atomic decay, which is known to significantly degrade the single-photon purity in state-of-the-art photon sources using a three-level system. Our analysis shows that the re-excitation probability arbitrarily approaches zero without sacrificing the photon generation probability when increasing the power of the driving laser between the excited states. This advantage is achievable by using current cavity-QED technologies. Our scheme can contribute to developing distributed quantum computation or quantum communication with high accuracy.

Speed Limit of Efficient Cavity-Mediated Adiabatic Transfer

Cavity-mediated adiabatic transfer (CMAT) is a robust way to perform a two-qubit gate between trapped atoms inside an optical cavity. In the previous study by Goto and Ichimura [H. Goto and K. Ichimura, Phys. Rev. A 77, 013816 (2008).], the upper bound of success probability of CMAT was shown where the operation is adiabatically slow. For practical applications, however, it is crucial to operate CMAT as fast as possible without sacrificing the success probability. In this paper, we investigate the operational speed limit of CMAT conditioned on the success probability being close to the upper bound. In CMAT both the adiabatic condition and the decay of atoms and cavity modes limit the operational speed. We show which of these two conditions more severely limits the operational speed in each cavity-QED parameter region, and find that the maximal operational speed is achieved when the influence of cavity decay is dominant compared to spontaneous emission.

Quantum error mitigation for rotation symmetric bosonic codes with symmetry expansion

The rotation symmetric bosonic code (RSBC) is a unified framework of practical bosonic codes that have rotation symmetries, such as cat codes and binomial codes. While cat codes achieve the break-even point in which the coherence time of the encoded qubits exceeds that of unencoded qubits, with binomial codes nearly approaching that point, the state preparation fidelity needs to be still improved for practical quantum computing. Concerning this problem, we investigate the framework of symmetry expansion, a class of quantum error mitigation that virtually projects the state onto the noise-free symmetric subspace by exploiting the system's intrinsic symmetries and post-processing of measurement outcomes. Although symmetry expansion has been limited to error mitigation of quantum states immediately before measurement, we successfully generalize symmetry expansion for state preparation. To implement our method, we use an ancilla qubit and only two controlled-rotation gates via dispersive interactions between the bosonic code states and the ancilla qubit. Interestingly, this method also allows us to virtually prepare the RSBC states only from easy-to-prepare states, e.g., coherent states. We also discuss that the conventional symmetry expansion protocol can be applied to improve the computation fidelity when the symmetries of rotation bosonic codes are unavailable due to low measurement fidelity. By giving comprehensive analytical and numerical arguments regarding the trace distance between the error-mitigated state and the ideal state and the sampling cost of quantum error mitigation, we show that symmetry expansion dramatically suppresses the effect of photon loss. Our novel error mitigation method will significantly enhance computation accuracy in the near-term bosonic quantum computing paradigm.

Optimal cavity design for minimizing errors in cavity-QED-based atom-photon entangling gates with finite temporal duration

We investigate atom-photon entangling gates based on cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) for a finite photon-pulse duration, where not only the photon loss but also the temporal mode-mismatch of the photon pulse becomes a severe source of error. We analytically derive relations between cavity parameters, including transmittance, length, and effective cross-sectional area of the cavity, that minimize both the photon loss probability and the error rate due to temporal mode-mismatch by taking it into account as state-dependent pulse delay. We also investigate the effects of pulse distortion using numerical simulations for the case of short pulse duration. We believe that these analyses are the first to suggest that a cavity has an optimal length for the atom-photon gate, providing a fundamental guideline for implementing quantum information processing.

Stimulated emission of superradiant atoms in waveguide QED

We investigate the stimulated emission of superradiant atoms coupled to a waveguide induced by a coherent-state photon pulse. We provide an analytical result when a short $π$ pulse is incident, which shows that the atoms emit photons coherently into the output pulse, which remains a coherent state in the short pulse limit. An incident pulse is amplified in phase-preserving manner, where noise is added almost entirely in the phase direction in phase space. This property improves the ratio of intensity signal to noise after the amplification for sufficiently short pulses. This is a unique feature different from general phase-preserving linear amplifiers, where the signal-to-noise ratio deteriorates in the amplification process. We also discuss the dependence of the photon-emission probability on pulse parameters, such as the pulse area and the duration.

Requirements for fault-tolerant quantum computation with cavity-QED-based atom-atom gates mediated by a photon with a finite pulse length

We analyze the requirements for fault-tolerant quantum computation with atom-atom gates based on cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) mediated by a photon with a finite pulse length. For short photon pulses, the distorted shape of the reflected pulses from the cQED system is a serious error source. We optimize the cQED system parameters to minimize the infidelity due to the shape distortion and the photon losses in a well-balanced manner for the fault-tolerant scheme using probabilistic gates [H. Goto and K. Ichimura, Phys. Rev. A 80, 040303(R) (2009)]. Our optimization greatly relaxes the requirements for fault-tolerant quantum computation in some parameter regions, compared with the conventional optimization method where only the photon loss is minimized without considering the shape distortion [H. Goto and K. Ichimura, Phys. Rev. A 82, 032311 (2010)]. Finally, we show that reducing the cavity length is an effective way to reduce the errors of this type of gate in the case of short photon pulses.

Anomalous dispersion relations in the staggered flux state

We study the quasiparticle properties in the d-wave superconductivity, antiferromagnetism, and the staggered flux state within a renormalized mean-field theory based on the two-dimensional t-J model. In particular, we focus on the anomalous quasiparticle dispersion relations around the antinodal region of the Brillouin zone argued in Hashimoto et al., Nature Phys. 6, 414 (2010). We obtain the qualitatively consistent results with their observations when we take account of the SF state. The present analysis shows that the SF order can be a possible candidate of symmetry-breaking pseudogap states coexisting with the dSC.

Dynamical instability in the S=1 Bose-Hubbard model

We study the dynamical instabilities of superfluid flows in the S=1 Bose-Hubbard model. The time evolution of each spin component in a condensate is calculated based on the dynamical Gutzwiller approximation for a wide range of interactions, from a weakly correlated regime to a strongly correlated regime near the Mott-insulator transition. Owing to the spin-dependent interactions, the superfluid flow of the spin-1 condensate decays at a different critical momentum from a spinless case when the interaction strength is the same. We furthermore calculate the dynamical phase diagram of this model and clarify that the obtained phase boundary has very different features depending on whether the average number of particles per site is even or odd. Finally, we analyze the density and spin modulations that appear in association with the dynamical instability. We find that spin modulations are highly sensitive to the presence of a uniform magnetic field.

Density Modulations Associated with the Dynamical Instability in the Bose-Hubbard Model

A superfluid flow beyond a critical momentum in an optical lattice decays drastically by the interplay between nonlinearity due to the interparticle interactions in Bose-Einstein condensate and periodicity of the lattice; this instability is called dynamical instability. The complex density modulational profiles after the condensate becomes unstable observed experimentally is not completely understood, while the dynamical instability has been studied theoretically and experimentally. In this paper, we analyze the density modulation of condensates as a precursor of the dynamical instability in the two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model. Our analysis has clarified the unexplored properties of the density modulations associated with the dynamical instability at low filling and in a wide range of interactions, while the previous works have analyzed the density modulation on the basis of Gross-Pitaevskii equation under the specific condition that one-dimensional optical lattice is very shallow and the filling is very large. The numerical simulations based on the dynamical Gutzwiller approximation elucidate that the principal mode of density modulation highly depends on interaction strength U and the momentum acceleration rate. We briefly discuss these features with the stability phase diagram calculated on the basis of the Bogoliubov theory.
