Quantum Gates Between Mesoscopic Spin Ensembles

Abstract

Quantum algorithmics with single spins poses serious technological challenges such as precision fabrication, rapid decoherence, atomic-scale addressing and readout. To circumvent atomic-scale challenges, we examine the case of fully polarized mesoscopic spin ensembles (spin-coherent states) whose total angular momenta states map to qudit submanifolds. We show that in the limit where the size of the ensembles is small compared to their separation, it is possible to treat them as qubits with an effective coupling strength that scales with the number of spins. If the spins within each ensemble are decoupled (e.g., via control fields, spinning or diffusional averaging or materials engineering), one- and two-qubit gate operations can be implemented with high fidelities.
