Non-Perturbative Entangling Gates between Distant Qubits using Uniform Cold Atom Chains
arXiv:1012.1572 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.140501
Abstract
We propose a new fast scalable method for achieving a two-qubit entangling gate between arbitrary distant qubits in a network by exploiting dispersionless propagation in uniform chains. This is achieved dynamically by switching on a strong interaction between the qubits and a bus formed by a non-engineered chain of interacting qubits. The quality of the gate scales very efficiently with qubit separations. Surprisingly, a sudden switching of the coupling is not necessary and our gate mechanism is not altered by a possibly gradual switching. The bus is also naturally reset to its initial state making the complex resetting procedure unnecessary after each application of the gate. Moreover, we propose a possible experimental realization in cold atoms trapped in optical lattices and near field Fresnel trapping potentials, which are both accessible to current technology.
