The ...Based on a hybrid system consisting of a quantum dot coupled with a double-sided micropillar cavity, we investigate the implementation of an error-detected photonic quantum routing controlled by the other photon. The computational errors from unexpected experimental imperfections are heralded by single photon detections, resulting in a unit fidelity for the present scheme, so that this scheme is intrinsically robust. We discuss the performance of the scheme with currently achievable experimental parameters. Our results show that the present scheme is efficient. Furthermore, our scheme could provide a promising building block for quantum networks and distributed quantum information processing in the future.展开更多

The edge states of the graphene nano sheets are used to form quantum dots to confine electrons and perform the computation. We propose two schemes of bang-bang control to combat decoherence and realize gate operations on this array of quantum dots. It is shown that both schemes contain a great amount of information for quantum computation. The corresponding gate operations are also proposed.展开更多

Since these schemes can be straightforwardly implemented only using local operations without teleportation procedure, therefore, less physical resources and simpler operations are required than the existing schemes. With the help of displacement operations, a large phase shift of the coherent state can be obtained via currently available tiny cross-Kerr nonlinearity. Thus, all of these schemes are nearly deterministic and feasible under current technology conditions, which makes them suitable for large-scale quantum computing.展开更多

However, the quantitative structure-activity relationship（QSAR） of this kind of complexes is still not clear mainly due to the difficulties to obtain their geometric molecular structures through laboratory experiments. An alternative solution is the quantum chemistry calculation in which the comformational population shall be determined. In this study, ten conformers of the title complex were obtained with the function of molecular dynamics conformational search in Gabedit 2.4.8, and their geometry optimization and thermodynamics calculation were made with a Sparkle/PM7 approach in MOPAC 2012. Their Gibbs free energies at 1 atm. and 298.15 K were calculated. Population of the conformers was further calculated out according to the theory of Boltzmann distribution, indicating that one of the ten conformers has a dominant population of 77.13%.展开更多

Increasing the number of qubits in the quantum processors is expected to be one of the main motivations in the next years, while noises in manipulation of quantum states may still be inevitable even the precision will improve. For research in this direction, it is necessary to review the available results about noisy multiqubit quantum computation and quantum simulation. The review focuses on multiqubit state generations, quantum computational advantage, and simulating physics of quantum many-body systems. Perspectives of near term noisy intermediate-quantum processors will be discussed.展开更多

We have also introduced aphysical model for the dc-SQUID system. Using this physical model, one can obtain the non-adiabatic geometric phasegate for the single qubit and the non-adiabatic conditional geometric phase gate (controlled NOT gate) for the twoqubits. It is shown that when the gate voltage and the externally applied current of the dc-SQUID system satisfies anappropriate constraint condition, the charge state evolution can be controlled exactly on a dynamic phase free path. Thenon-adiabatic evolution of the charge states is given as well.展开更多

We generalize a measure of the interference based on decoherence process, consistent with the visibility in qubit systems. By taking duster states as examples, we show in the one-way quantum computation that the gate fidelity is proportional to the interference of the measured qubit and is inversely proportional to the interference of all register qubits. We also find that the interference increases with the number of the computing steps. So we conjecture that the interference may be the source of the speedup of the one-way quantum computation.展开更多

文摘In the past years, great progresses have been made on quantum computation and quantum simulation. Increasing the number of qubits in the quantum processors is expected to be one of the main motivations in the next years, while noises in manipulation of quantum states may still be inevitable even the precision will improve. For research in this direction, it is necessary to review the available results about noisy multiqubit quantum computation and quantum simulation. The review focuses on multiqubit state generations, quantum computational advantage, and simulating physics of quantum many-body systems. Perspectives of near term noisy intermediate-quantum processors will be discussed.
文摘In blind quantum computation(BQC),a client with weak quantum computation capabilities is allowed to delegate its quantum computation tasks to a server with powerful quantum computation capabilities,and the inputs,algorithms and outputs of the quantum computation are confidential to the server.Verifiability refers to the ability of the client to verify with a certain probability whether the server has executed the protocol correctly and can be realized by introducing trap qubits into the computation graph state to detect server deception.The existing verifiable universal BQC protocols are analyzed and compared in detail.The XTH protocol(proposed by Xu Q S,Tan X Q,Huang R in 2020),a recent improvement protocol of verifiable universal BQC,uses a sandglass-like graph state to further decrease resource expenditure and enhance verification capability.However,the XTH protocol has two shortcomings:limitations in the coloring scheme and a high probability of accepting an incorrect computation result.In this paper,we present an improved version of the XTH protocol,which revises the limitations of the original coloring scheme and further improves the verification ability.The analysis demonstrates that the resource expenditure is the same as for the XTH protocol,while the probability of accepting the wrong computation result is reduced from the original minimum(0.866)^(d*)to(0.819)^(d^(*)),where d;is the number of repeated executions of the protocol.

文摘We propose a method of controlling the dc-SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) systemby changing the gate voltages, which controls the amplitude of the fictitious magnetic fields Bz, and the externallyapplied current that produces the piercing magnetic fiux φx for the dc-SQUID system. We have also introduced aphysical model for the dc-SQUID system. Using this physical model, one can obtain the non-adiabatic geometric phasegate for the single qubit and the non-adiabatic conditional geometric phase gate (controlled NOT gate) for the twoqubits. It is shown that when the gate voltage and the externally applied current of the dc-SQUID system satisfies anappropriate constraint condition, the charge state evolution can be controlled exactly on a dynamic phase free path. Thenon-adiabatic evolution of the charge states is given as well.
文摘The interference has been measured by the visibility in two-level systems, which, however, does not work for multi-level systems. We generalize a measure of the interference based on decoherence process, consistent with the visibility in qubit systems. By taking duster states as examples, we show in the one-way quantum computation that the gate fidelity is proportional to the interference of the measured qubit and is inversely proportional to the interference of all register qubits. We also find that the interference increases with the number of the computing steps. So we conjecture that the interference may be the source of the speedup of the one-way quantum computation.
