Direct conversion of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state to Knill-Laflamme-Milburn state in decoherence-free subspace.

Several schemes are proposed to realize the conversion of photonic polarized-entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state to Knill-Laflamme-Milburn state in decoherence-free subspace (DFS) via weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity and X-quadrature homodyne measurement with high fidelity. DFS is introduced to decrease the decoherence effect caused by the coupling between the system and the environment. Optimizations to improve the success rate and utilization of residual states are further investigated.

Construction of robust Rydberg controlled-phase gates.

One scheme is presented to construct the robust multi-qubit arbitrary-phase controlled-phase gate (CPG) with one control and multiple target qubits in Rydberg atoms using the Lewis-Riesenfeld (LR) invariant method. The scheme is not limited by adiabatic condition while preserves the robustness against control parameter variations of adiabatic evolution. Comparing with the adiabatic case, our scheme does not require very strong Rydberg interaction strength.
