Dark path holonomic qudit computation (2208.03057v2)

Abstract: Non-adiabatic holonomic quantum computation is a method used to implement high-speed quantum gates with non-Abelian geometric phases associated with paths in state space. Due to their noise tolerance, these phases can be used to construct error resilient quantum gates. We extend the holonomic dark path qubit scheme in [M.-Z. Ai {\t et al.}, Fundam. Res. {\bf 2}, 661 (2022)] to qudits. Specifically, we demonstrate one- and two-qudit universality by using the dark path technique. Explicit qutrit ($d=3$) gates are demonstrated and the scaling of the number of loops with the dimension $d$ is addressed. This scaling is linear and we show how any diagonal qudit gate can be implemented efficiently in any dimension.
