Passive quantum phase gate for photons based on three level emitters

Abstract

We present a fully passive method for implementing a quantum phase gate between two photons travelling in a one-dimensional wave guide. The gate is based on chirally coupled emitters in a three-level $V$ configuration, which only interact through the photon field without any external control fields. We describe the (non-)linear scattering of the emerging polariton states and show that for near resonant photons the scattering dynamics directly implements a perfect control phase gate between the incoming photons in the limit of many emitters. For a finite number of emitters we show that the dominant error mechanism can be suppressed by a simple frequency filter at the cost of a minor reduction in the success probability. We verify the results via comparison with exact scattering matrix theory and show that the fidelity can reach values $\mathcal{F}\sim 99\%$ with a gate success probability of $>99\%$ for as few as 8 emitters.
