A clever choice and design of gate sets can reduce the depth of a quantum circuit, and can improve the quality of the solution one obtains from a quantum algorithm. This is especially important for near-term quantum computers that suffer…
Different from the conventional Rydberg antiblockade (RAB) regime that either requires weak Rydberg-Rydberg interaction (RRI), or compensates Rydberg-Rydberg interaction (RRI)-induced energy shift by introducing dispersive interactions, we…

The dipole blockade effect at laser excitation of mesoscopic ensembles of Rydberg atoms lies in the fact that the excitation of one atom to a Rydberg state blocks the excitation of other atoms due to the shift in the collective energy…
We propose a nonadiabatic non-Abelian geometric quantum operation scheme to realize universal quantum computation with mesoscopic Rydberg atoms. A single control atom entangles a mesoscopic ensemble of target atoms through long-range…
Many quantum hardware platforms natively support either phase or exchange operations, yet converting between these two forms of control typically incurs substantial overhead. Rydberg-blockade neutral-atom arrays are highly developed for…
Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum gates are high-speed and robust. Nevertheless, they were found to be more fragile than the adiabatic gates when systematic errors become dominant. Inspired by the dark-path scheme that was used to partially…

Quantum computation with photons requires efficient two photon gates. We put forward a two photon entangling gate which uses an intermediate atomic system. The system includes a single Rydberg atom which can switch on and off photon…
