Fast Entangled State Generation and Quantum Information Transfer in a Quantum System with Long-Range Interactions

NIST Inventors

Zhexuan Gong

We propose a protocol that allows to send quantum information and to prepare entangled states across a system with long-range interactions much faster than in a system with short-range interactions. Examples of long-range-interacting systems are cold polar molecules, highly excited Rydberg atoms, or

Qubit Gate And Producing A Generalized Controlled-Not Quantum Gate

NIST Inventors

Adam Kaufman and Alexey Gorshkov

Electric dipoles such as Rydberg atoms and polar molecules are among the most promising candidates for building a quantum computer. We propose a protocol that uses long-range dipole-dipole interactions in these systems to quickly implement a generalized controlled-not (CNOT) quantum gate, in which
