In the system with a two-level ion confined both in a linear trap and in a high-Q single-mode cavity, we present a simple scheme to realize the basic two-qubit logic gates such as the quantum phase gate (QPG), the SWAP gate and the controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate beyond the Lamb–Dicke (LD) limit. We realize the three kinds of two-qubit quantum phase gates, i.e. QPG operation involving the cavity mode as well as the vibrational mode of the trapped ion, QPG operation involving the internal states as well as the vibrational mode of the trapped ion and QPG operation involving the internal states of the trapped ion as well as the cavity mode. The controlled-NOT gate can be implemented from a QPG operation through a rotation of the second qubit before and after the QPG operation. We can also perform the SWAP gate operation involving the ionic internal states of the trapped ion and the two-mode bosonic basis. The logic gates involving the cavity mode as well as the vibrational mode of the trapped ion are insensitive to spontaneous emission, and the logic gates involving the internal states as well as the vibrational mode of the trapped ion are insensitive to the decay of the cavity, which is an important feature for the practical implementation of quantum computing. Neither the LD approximation nor the auxiliary atomic level is needed in our scheme. Experimental feasibility for achieving our scheme is also discussed.
Considering a double JC model with different coupling constants, we investigate the entanglement between the two two-level atoms, and discuss dependence of the atomatom entanglement on the different coupling constants, and the detuning between the atomic transition frequency and the cavity field frequency. The results show when = δ/g is small, with the increase of the relative difference of the two atom-cavity coupling constants γ , the atom-atom entanglement periodically evolves with the amplitude slowly and periodically modulated. What's more interesting is that long-lived entanglement between the two atoms can be obtained when atom A non-resonantly interacts with the cavity field a, and atom B has no coupling with the cavity field b. In this case, the concurrence C AB (t) of the two atoms evolves in form of cosine, and is invariant and equals the initial value when far off resonance. In addition, we find that the so-called entanglement sudden death can occur under appropriate conditions on the detunings and the different coupling constants for different initial atomic states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
