Quantum computations with atoms in optical lattices: marker qubits and molecular interactions
We develop a scheme for quantum computation with neutral atoms, based on the
concept of "marker" atoms, i.e., auxiliary atoms that can be efficiently
transported in state-independent periodic external traps to operate quantum
gates between physically distant qubits. This allows for relaxing a number of
experimental constraints for quantum computation with neutral atoms in
microscopic potential, including single-atom laser addressability. We discuss
the advantages of this approach in a concrete physical scenario involving
molecular interactions.Comment: 15 pages, 14 figure
Quantum computation in optical lattices via global laser addressing
A scheme for globally addressing a quantum computer is presented along with
its realisation in an optical lattice setup of one, two or three dimensions.
The required resources are mainly those necessary for performing quantum
simulations of spin systems with optical lattices, circumventing the necessity
for single qubit addressing. We present the control procedures, in terms of
laser manipulations, required to realise universal quantum computation. Error
avoidance with the help of the quantum Zeno effect is presented and a scheme
for globally addressed error correction is given. The latter does not require
measurements during the computation, facilitating its experimental
implementation. As an illustrative example, the pulse sequence for the
factorisation of the number fifteen is given.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figures, REVTEX. Initialisation and measurement
