Fast multiqubit Rydberg geometric fan-out gates with optimal control technology

Abstract

Practical quantum computation requires highly efficient implementation of quantum logic gates. The fan-out gate represents such a type of multiqubit controlled gate with one qubit controlling a number of target qubits. Recent efforts for fan-out gates using Rydberg atoms include adiabatic operations along with the dark-state dynamics of Rydberg states [M. Khazali and K. M\o{}lmer, Phys. Rev. X 10, 021054 (2020)] and implementation based on the asymmetric Rydberg-Rydberg interaction [J. T. Young et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 120501 (2021)]. Inspired by these advances, we propose a fast-operation scheme for geometric multiqubit fan-out gates, in which the target qubits can be executed with arbitrary operations based on the asymmetric Rydberg-Rydberg interaction and time-optimal control technology. One of the main favorable features of our scheme is its performance in a nonadiabatic way and with the time-optimal control technology, by which the shortest smooth geometric path is found. Another feature, that the target qubits could be executed with arbitrary geometric quantum operations, makes our scheme general and useful. Therefore, our scheme provides a promising alternative route toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum information processing based on Rydberg atoms.
