Complete unitary qutrit control in ultracold atoms

Abstract

Physical quantum systems are commonly composed of more than two levels and offer the capacity to encode information in higher-dimensional spaces beyond the qubit, starting with the three-level qutrit. Here, we encode neutral-atom qutrits in an ensemble of ultracold ${}^{87}$Rb and demonstrate arbitrary single-qutrit SU(3) gates. We generate a full set of gates using only two resonant microwave tones, including synthesizing a gate that effects a direct coupling between the two disconnected levels in the three-level $\Lambda$-scheme. Using two different gate sets, we implement and characterize the Walsh-Hadamard Fourier transform, and find similar final-state fidelity and purity from both approaches. This work establishes the ultracold neutral-atom qutrit as a promising platform for qutrit-based quantum information processing, extensions to $d$-dimensional qudits, and explorations in multilevel quantum state manipulations with nontrivial geometric phases.
