Abstract
Quantum walks with one-dimensional translational symmetry are important for quantum algorithms, where the speed-up of the diffusion speed can be reached if long-range couplings are added. Our work studies a scheme of a ring under the strong resonant modulation that can support discrete-time quantum walk including coherent multiple long-range translations in a natural way along synthetic frequency dimension. These multiple translation paths are added in a coherent way, which makes the walker evolve under the topological band. Therein, not only the fast diffusion speed is expected, but more importantly, we find that single quantum gate operations can be performed in the quasi-momentum space. In particular, we show the arbitrary single-qubit state preparation and an example of CNOT two-qubit gate with only one time step, dramarically increasing quantum algorithms. Our study uses a single ring to provide fast quantum gate operations based on coherent multiple path quantum walk, which may provide unique designs for efficient quantum operations on photonic chips.
