Multiparticle entanglement with quantum logic networks: Application to cold trapped ions

arXiv:quant-ph/0103067 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.64.012305

Abstract

We show how to construct a multi-qubit control gate on a quantum register of an arbitrary size N. This gate performs a single-qubit operation on a specific qubit conditioned by the state of other N-1 qubits. We provide an algorithm how to build up an array of networks consisting of single-qubit rotations and multi-qubit control-NOT gates for the synthesis of an arbitrary entangled quantum state of N qubits. We illustrate the algorithm on a system of cold trapped ions. This example illuminates the efficiency of the direct implementation of the multi-qubit CNOT gate compared to its decomposition into a network of two-qubit CNOT gates.
