Holonomic quantum gates via continuous measurement in bosonic codes: GKP and cat states
摘要
We apply continuous measurement-based holonomic quantum computation (CMHQC) to bosonic quantum error-correcting codes and develop explicit protocols for both four-component cat codes and Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) codes. In this framework, a continuously monitored time-dependent codespace undergoes a closed trajectory on the Grassmannian manifold while Zeno confinement suppresses departures from the instantaneous code subspace. For cat codes, we construct a family of squeezed-cat trajectories whose projected Wilczek-Zee connection generates arbitrary logical Z rotations, including non-Clifford T-gates. For GKP codes, we introduce a translated-lattice trajectory that realizes the logical GKP T gate through a purely geometric holonomy. We derive the corresponding time-dependent projectors, analytically evaluate the projected connections, and show that the resulting holonomies reproduce the desired logical operations without Hamiltonian control. Furthermore, we analyze the error-correcting capabilities of the instantaneous codespaces by establishing dressed Knill-Laflamme conditions for the relevant bosonic error models and derive analytical estimates for leakage induced by finite-strength continuous measurements. Our results provide a concrete realization of measurement-induced holonomic control in experimentally relevant bosonic platforms and establish a full fault-tolerant logical gate implementation.
