Holonomic Quantum Control with Continuous Variable Systems
Abstract
Universal quantum computation on a space consisting of superpositions of d well-separated coherent states can be achieved by two families of adiabatic holonomic gates. The first gate consists of moving a coherent state around a closed path in phase space, resulting in a relative Berry phase between that state and the other states. The second gate consists of colliding two coherent states, resulting in coherent population transfer between them. Such gates should be realizable via reservoir engineering of systems which support tunable nonlinearities, such as trapped ions and circuit QED.
