Implementing N-quantum phase gate via circuit QED with qubit–qubit interaction

Abstract

We propose a method for realizing a quantum phase gate of one qubit simultaneously controlling [Formula: see text] target qubits based on the qubit–qubit interaction. We show how to implement the proposed gate with one transmon qubit simultaneously controlling [Formula: see text] transmon qubits in a circuit QED driven by a strong microwave field. In our scheme, the operation time of this phase gate is independent of the number [Formula: see text] of qubits. On the other hand, this gate can be realized in a time of nanosecond-scale much smaller than the decoherence time and dephasing time both being the time of microsecond-scale. Numerical simulation of the occupation probabilities of the second excited lever shows that the scheme could be achieved efficiently within current technology.
