Abstract

Photon-mediated interactions in subwavelength atomic arrays have numerous applications in quantum science. In this manuscript, we explore the potential of three-level quantum emitters, or ``impurities" embedded in a two-dimensional atomic array to serve as a platform for quantum computation. By exploiting the altered behavior of impurities as a result of the induced dipole-dipole interactions mediated by subwavelength array, we design and simulate a set of universal quantum gates consisting of the iSWAP\sqrt{\text{iSWAP}} and single-qubit rotations. We demonstrate that these gates have very high fidelities due to the long atomic dipole-dipole coherence times, as long as the atoms remain within a proximal range. Finally, we design and simulate quantum circuits leading to the generation of the maximally entangled two-qubit Bell states, as well as the entangled three-qubit GHZ state. These findings establish subwavelength emitter arrays as an alternative platform for quantum computation and quantum simulation.
