Strong-driving-assisted unconventional geometric logic gate in cavity QED

Abstract

We propose a potential scheme for carrying out two-qubit unconventional geometric logic gates on two identical three-level atoms in a cavity, strongly driven by a resonant classical field. Compared to a previous scheme [S. B. Zheng, Phys. Rev. A 70, 052320 (2004)] based on the large-detuning interaction of the two identical three-level atoms with the cavity mode, our scheme can, in principle, achieve a faster gating because of the resonant coupling of the atoms to the classical field. We present the two-qubit unconventional geometric phase gates in both an ideal cavity and a real cavity with decay. Discussions about the fidelity and the success probability of the proposed scheme as well as the experimental feasibility are made in detail.
