Conditional not displacement: fast multi-oscillator control with a single qubit

Abstract

Bosonic encoding is an approach for quantum information processing, promising lower hardware overhead by encoding in the many levels of a harmonic oscillator mode. Scaling to multiple modes requires weak interaction for independent control, yet strong interaction for fast control. Applying fast and efficient universal control on multiple modes remains an open problem. Surprisingly, we find that displacements conditioned on the state of a single qubit ancilla coupled to multiple harmonic oscillators are sufficient for universal control. We present the conditional-no operation concept, which can be used for reducing the duration of entangling gates. Within this guiding concept, we develop the conditional not displacement control method which enables fast generation and control of bosonic states in multi-mode systems weakly coupled to a single ancilla qubit. Our method is fast despite the weak ancilla coupling. The weak coupling in turn allows for excellent separability and thus independent control. We demonstrate our control on a superconducting transmon qubit weakly coupled to a multi-mode superconducting cavity. We create both entangled and separable cat-states in different modes of the multi-mode cavity, showing entangling operations at low cross-talk while maintaining independent control of the different modes. We show that the operation time is not limited by the inverse of the coupling rate, which is the typical timescale, and we exceed it by almost 2 orders of magnitude. We verify our results with an efficient method for measurement of the multi-mode characteristic function which employs our conditional not displacement. Our results inspire a new approach toward general entangling operations and allow for fast and efficient multi-mode bosonic encoding and measurement.
