What is actually needed to quantum-compute with harmonic oscillators? / Dr. Hoi-Kwan Lau

Original Kurzfassung:
To implement quantum computers on harmonic-oscillat
or-liked systems, the conventional
approach is to: 1) Cool the system to the ground st
ate; 2) Specify two physical states as the encoding
basis of
a qubit; 3) Implement logic gates by engineering en
coding-specific interaction. In our recent works, w
e show
that all of these procedures are sufficient but not
necessary. Specifically, we find a unified operati
on that can
implement logic gates for any encoding [2]. The for
malism permits a new class of encoding that a pure
logical
qubit is represented by a mixed physical state [1].
Because the purity of quantum system is not essent
ial, the
requirement of ground-state cooling can be relaxed.
Additionally, our formalism can reduce the initial
isation
energy, and protect the logical qubit against a wid
er class of noise.
