Quantum phase gate in an optical cavity with atomic cloud
Yun‐Feng Xiao, Xu‐Bo Zou, Zheng‐Fu Han, Guang‐Can Guo · Physical Review A · 2006
We propose a scheme for implementing a two-qubit quantum phase gate for intracavity fields. In the scheme, two qubits are encoded in zero- and one-photon Fock states of two intracavity modes, and a four-level $\mathsf{N}$-type atomic ensemble trapped in a cavity mediates the conditional phase gate within a given interaction time. We also discuss the influence of the atomic spontaneous emission and the decay of the cavity modes on the photon loss and gate fidelity, showing the scheme is within the current experiment technology.
