Scalable Photon-Mediated Two-Qubit Gates with Spectrally Noisy Quantum Emitters

When two quantum bits are coupled through a cavity, a two-qubit gate can be realized between them either in the near-resonant regime over a timescale established by the coupling strength of the qubits with the cavity, or in the dispersive regime, over a longer timescale established by the combination of the coupling strength and the frequency detuning between the qubits and the cavity. When the qubits are spectrally noisy or differently detuned from the cavity, the fidelity for the operation can be drastically reduced in either case, precluding scalable realizations. We introduce the protocol for optimal cavity-enabled gates (POCEG) that is shown, through reliable numerical and analytical solutions, to overcome spectral differences between quantum bits and to achieve high fidelity between disparate/noisy quantum emitters. Namely, for a cavity with low damping rate, we apply a sequence of pulses to the qubits at the frequency of the cavity while periodically modulating the coupling of the qubits to the cavity. Alternatively, in the case of a large damping rate, we operate in the dispersive regime and overcome spectral disparities by applying the pulses at a frequency far-detuned from the cavity. In both instances, we find for the quantum state transfer between the two qubits that, with a modest inter-pulse delay, the fidelity that would otherwise be strongly suppressed by the spectral mismatch of the qubits can be increased beyond 99.9%. These protocols have the capacity to bring two-qubit gates between solid state systems across the threshold required for fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Dynamics of Many-Emitter Ensembles: Probing Cooperative Evolution with Scalable Quantum Circuits

Many-particle quantum systems often give rise to exotic behaviors in their nonequilibrium dynamics that are rather challenging to reveal with analytical methods or with classical computation. Here, we consider the case of a system of many quantum emitters coupled through a radiation bath. By adopting an efficient mapping of the bosonic modes onto a set of quantum bits, we implement quantum circuits, compatible with NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) era systems, that allow us to investigate the dynamics of the ensemble as a function of various parameters, including the number of emitters, the spectral inhomogeneity in the system, the emission lifetime of independent emitters, and the spatial separation between emitters. The quantum algorithms afford us the capacity to precisely track the emergence of cooperative dynamics, manifested through superradiant emission, as the system is tuned towards optimal coupling with respect to various parameters. We are particularly able to characterize superradiant emission in an inhomogeneous ensemble as a function of the linewidth of the individual emitters. These quantum algorithms avoid approximations performed in conventional studies of many-emitter systems and provide a robust and intuitive characterization. Despite being limited to a small number of qubits, the present calculations are found to provide a reliable characterization validated by comparison with analytical solutions and classical computation results in their respective regimes of validity. These findings indicate that the approach can be employed to effectively simulate a broad variety of many-emitter systems.

Cavity Mediated Two-Qubit Gate: Tuning to Optimal Performance with NISQ Era Quantum Simulations

A variety of photon-mediated operations are critical to the realization of scalable quantum information processing platforms and their accurate characterization is essential for the identification of optimal regimes and their experimental realizations. Such light-matter interactions are often studied with a broad variety of analytical and computational methods that are constrained by approximation techniques or by computational scaling. Quantum processors present a new avenue to address these challenges. We consider the case of cavity mediated two-qubit gates. To investigate quantum state transfer between the qubits, we implement simulations with quantum circuits that are able to reliably track the dynamics of the system. Our quantum algorithm, compatible with NISQ (Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum) era systems, allows us to map out the fidelity of the state transfer operation between qubits as a function of a broad range of system parameters including the respective detunings between the qubits and the cavity, the damping factor of the cavity, and the respective couplings between the qubits and the cavity. The algorithm provides a robust and intuitive solution, alongside a satisfactory agreement with analytical solutions or classical simulation algorithms in their respective regimes of validity. It allows us to identify under-explored regimes of optimal performance, relevant for heterogeneous quantum platforms, where the two-qubit gate can be rather effective between far-detuned qubits that are neither resonant with each other nor with the cavity. Besides its present application, the method introduced in the current paper can be efficiently used in otherwise untractable variations of the model and in various efforts to simulate and optimize photon-mediated two-qubit gates and other relevant operations in quantum information processing.
