Three‐Photon Polarization‐Spatial Hyperparallel Quantum Fredkin Gate Assisted by Diamond Nitrogen Vacancy Center in Optical Cavity

Abstract

AbstractThe construction of a near‐deterministic photonic hyperparallel quantum Fredkin (hyper‐Fredkin) gate is investigated for a three‐photon system with the optical property of a diamond nitrogen vacancy center embedded in an optical cavity (cavity‐NV center system). This hyper‐Fredkin gate can be used to perform double Fredkin gate operations on both the polarization and spatial‐mode degrees of freedom (DOFs) of a three‐photon system with a near‐unit success probability, compared with those on the double three‐photon systems in one DOF. In this proposal, the hybrid quantum logic gate operations are the key elements of the hyper‐Fredkin gate, and only two cavity‐NV center systems are required. Moreover, the possibility of constructing a high‐fidelity and high‐efficiency hyper‐Fredkin gate in the experimental environment of a cavity‐NV center system is discussed, which may be used to implement high‐fidelity photonic computational tasks in two DOFs with a high efficiency.
