Logical Single Qubit Rotation Gates for Rotation Symmetric Bosonic Error Correction Codes
ORAL
Abstract
Rotation symmetric bosonic error correction schemes that correct for single photon loss encode the logical qubit into a superposition of Fock states with the same parity [1]. For example, one possible bosonic qubit encoding is to pick |1L> = |2> and |0L> = 1/sqrt(2)(|0> + |4>), where both |0L> and |1L> are encoded using even parity Fock states. Thus, in order to transition between two code words that are protected against single photon loss in this formalism, the drive pulses to the bosonic qubit system must preserve the parity. In general, realizing single qubit logical gates for rotation symmetric bosonic encodings that protect against losses of n-photons requires drive pulses that transition from |m> to |m + n + 1>. By extending a technique known as the Selective Number-dependent Arbitrary-Phase Photon-Addition (SNAPPA) gate [2] to directly drive different transitions from |m> to |m + n +1> simultaneously at different drive powers for different |m>, we aim to show that it is possible to have a logical single qubit rotation gate (eg. Rx,y(θ)) for rotation symmetric encodings of bosonic qubits and demonstrate potential applications.
