All optical quantum information processing via a single step Rydberg blockade gate
arXiv:2211.06998 · doi:10.1364/OE.481256
Abstract
One of the critical elements in the realization of the quantum internet are deterministic two-photon gates. This photonic gate also completes a set of universal gates for all-optical quantum information processing. This article discusses an approach to realize high fidelity photonic gate by storing both control and target photons within an atomic ensemble using non-Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) followed by a fast, single-step Rydberg excitation with global lasers. The proposed scheme operates by relative intensity modulation of two lasers used in Rydberg excitation. Circumventing the conventional -gap- schemes, the proposed operation features continuous laser protection of the Rydberg atoms from the environment noise. The complete spatial overlap of stored photons inside the blockade radius optimizes the optical depth and simplifies the experiment. The coherent operation here is performed in the region that was dissipative in the previous Rydberg EIT schemes. Encountering the main imperfection sources, i.e. the spontaneous emission of the Rydberg and intermediate levels, population rotation errors, Doppler broadening of the transition lines, storage/retrieval efficiency, and atomic thermal motion induced decoherence, this article concludes that with realistic experimental parameters 99.7\% fidelity is achievable.
