Modeling of quantum-information processing with Ehrenfest guided trajectories: A case study with spin-boson-like couplings

Abstract

We apply a numerical method based on multiconfigurational Ehrenfest trajectories and demonstrate converged results for the Choi fidelity of an entangling quantum gate between two two-level systems interacting through a set of bosonic modes. We consider both spin-boson and rotating-wave Hamiltonians for various numbers of mediating modes (from 1 to 100) and extend our treatment to include finite temperatures. Our results apply to two-level impurities interacting with the same band of a photonic crystal or to two distant ions interacting with the same set of motional degrees of freedom.
