The nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation based on the geometric phase is robust against the built-in noise and decoherence. In this work, we theoretically propose a scheme to realize nonadiabatic holonomic quantum gates in a surface electron system, which is a promising two-dimensional platform for quantum computation. The holonomic gate is realized by a three-level structure that combines the Rydberg states and spin states via an inhomogeneous magnetic field. After a cyclic evolution, the computation bases pick up different geometric phases and thus perform a holonomic gate. Only the electron with spin up experiences the holonomic gate, while the electron with spin down is decoupled from the state-selective driving fields. The arbitrary controlled-U gate encoded on the Rydberg states and spin states can then be realized. The fidelity of the output state exceeds 0.99 with experimentally achievable parameters.
1 Introduction
The quantum geometric phase is a very important resource for quantum computation [1–5]. Quantum gates based on the geometric phase are robust against the disturbance of the dynamic process owing to their global geometric properties [6]. The adiabatic holonomic quantum computation (AHQC) realizes high-fidelity quantum gates via the geometric phase in an adiabatic evolution [7–15]. The AHQC protocol is solely determined by the solid angle of the cyclic evolution in the parameter space, and thus is robust against small perturbations of the evolution path. However, the adiabatic condition [16] of AHQC requires a long evolution time, which accumulates considerable decoherence. Thus, the nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation (NHQC) was proposed [17–28]. The NHQC preserves the computational universality of the AHQC but does not require the adiabatic condition, and thus has attracted broad interest in recent years [29–45].
On the other hand, the electron on the surface of liquid helium provides a controllable two-dimensional (2D) quantum system, where the surface electron (SE) is attracted by the induced image charge inside the liquid helium and concurrently repulsed by the helium atoms. The confinement perpendicular to the surface leads to a hydrogen-like spectrum which can be used in quantum simulation [46, 47] and quantum information tasks [48, 49]. Meanwhile, the motion parallel to the surface is free of defects and impurities, thus the SE forms a perfect 2D electron system which is widely observed in semiconductor devices [50]. The SE can be manipulated by the circuit QED architecture [51, 52] or the microchannel devices [53–59] with high transport efficiency [60, 61]. With a static magnetic field perpendicular to the surface, the motion parallel to the surface is quantized as orbital states [62], which is similar to the Landau levels. In addition, the spin state of the SE is also an important quantum resource owing to its long relaxation time that exceeds 100 s [63]. Both the Rydberg and orbital states can be coupled to the spin states of electrons [64, 65]. Recent works [66, 67] show a practical method to couple the Rydberg state with the spin state using a local inhomogeneous magnetic field, where the electrons with different expected positions experience different magnetic fields depending on their Rydberg state. The Rydberg states of SE can probably realize large-scale quantum computation owing to the long-range dipole-dipole interaction of adjacent electrons [67], while the spin states may be valuable for quantum memory because of their long lifetime.
In the past, research on the SE has mainly focused on exploring the physical properties, while the efficient quantum gates based on the SE still require further investigation. Therefore, in this work, we propose a scheme to realize the nonadiabatic holonomic gates on both the spin states and Rydberg states of a single SE. We first propose an arbitrary single-qubit holonomic gate on the Rydberg state of the SE, which is realized by a three-level structure driven by time-dependent microwave pulses. During the cyclic evolution, two orthogonal bases pick up different geometric phases. The universal single-qubit holonomic gate is realized by varying the complex ratio between the Rabi frequencies of the two driving fields. Then we introduce an inhomogeneous magnetic field through a magnetized ferromagnetic electrode. The Rydberg states with different expected positions experience different magnetic fields, and thus their Zeeman energy splittings are different. By applying the state-selective pulses, three Rydberg states with spin up are coupled with the driving fields, while the Rydberg states with spin down are decoupled. An arbitrary holonomic single-qubit gate U is applied on the three coupled states, while the three decoupled states remain unchanged. In this way, the holonomic controlled-U gate of the Rydberg and spin states is achieved. Owing to the global geometric properties, the NHQC gates are not sensitive to the fluctuation of the pulse duration. Because the adiabatic condition is not required during the evolution, the fast manipulation makes the scheme robust against dissipation. Our theoretical scheme is based on the experimental configuration, and the parameters are experimentally achievable.
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we introduce the basic model of the SE in the external magnetic and electric fields and the method to realize holonomic gates. In Section 3, we present the fidelity of the scheme. Finally, we conclude the work and give a prospect in Section 4.
2 Model and methods
2.1 Basic model of the surface electron
Our theoretical proposal is based on the electron above liquid helium. The electron is trapped by the external electric field provided by electrodes [67]. As shown in Figure 1, a pillar electrode with positive voltage and an annular electrode with negative voltage are embedded in the liquid helium. These electrodes apply an electric holding field with the cylindrically symmetric electric potential V(r, z), where z is the vertical coordinate and
where ωc = eB0/me is the cyclotron frequency, me is the mass of the electron, and Lz is the angular momentum along z-direction, i.e.,
where pα and α are the momentum and position of the electron (α = x, y, z), and ϕ is the azimuthal coordinate in the xOy-plane. The vertical and radial motion of the electron is determined by
where m is an integer. Because of the cylindrical symmetry, the wavefunction can be expressed as
where
FIGURE 1. (A) The longitudinal section of the proposed model. A central pillar electrode (orange) with a positive voltage of 60 mV and an annular electrode (dark gray) with a negative voltage of −45 mV are embedded in the liquid helium. The SE floats above the liquid surface. The vertical motion of the SE is quantized as the Rydberg states owing to the image potential and the electric field applied by the electrodes. A uniform static magnetic field B0 is perpendicularly applied to the surface. The center electrode is made of ferromagnetic material and induces an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The total magnetic field is B. The motion in the xOy plane is quantized as the Landau level induced by the vertical magnetic field and the cylindrically symmetric electric potential. (B) The top view of the architecture. The electrodes are arranged in an array, with one electron in each unit. Because the energy levels of each electron can be independently tuned by the voltage of electrodes, the driving field can be resonant with only one electron at a time. The adjacent electrons can be coupled by the dipole-dipole interaction of the Rydberg states. (C) The quantum information can be stored in the spin states and manipulated in large-scaled quantum computation via the Rydberg states.
The vertical motion of the SE is quantized by the Rydberg state labeled by nz. The expected positions of the lowest three states along the z direction are 7.63 nm, 17.2 nm, and 25.3 nm, which are derived from the numerical solution of the wavefunction, cf. the Supplementary Material. An inhomogeneous magnetic field is induced by the center electrode which is made of ferromagnetic material. The electrons with different nz have different expected positions ⟨z⟩, and thus experience different magnetic fields. The differences of the magnetic field ΔB at the expected positions with nz = 1, 2, 3 are on the order of several mT. The corresponding difference of the Zeeman energy gμBΔB/h is about hundreds of GHz, where g is the Lande g factor and μB = eℏ/(2me) is the Bohr magneton. This energy difference is much larger than the decay rates of the Rydberg states, cf. the Supplementary Material, and plays a significant role in the following controlled-U gate scheme.
2.2 Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum gates based on the Rydberg states and spin states
At first, we will demonstrate the proposal to realize a single-qubit gate in the subspace of a specific spin state, that is, the subspace spanned by {|↑, nz⟩} (nz = 1, 2, 3). As we have mentioned in Section 2.1, the Rydberg states with larger quantum number nz are further away from the liquid surface, and thus experience different magnetic fields. Since the Zeeman energy of the spin state is determined by the inhomogeneous magnetic field, the Zeeman energies of different Rydberg states are different. The magnetic field experienced by state |nz⟩ is
Hereafter, we assume ℏ = 1 for simplicity. Ω(t) represents the shape of the driving pulse. The duration of the driving pulse can be very short because the adiabatic condition is not required during the evolution. A specific pulse shape is not strictly required for NHQC, but the integral over time needs to be π, i.e.,
FIGURE 2. (A) Schematic diagram of the nonadiabatic holonomic gate. Two driving pulses are resonant with |↑, nz = 1⟩ ⇔|↑, nz = 3⟩ and |↑, nz = 2⟩ ⇔|↑, nz = 3⟩, respectively. The driving pulses are off-resonant with the transition frequencies of the spin-down states due to the large detuning δ13 and δ23. (B) The evolutions of the instantaneous orthogonal bases |D(t)⟩ and |B(t)⟩ on the Bloch spheres. The dark state |D(t)⟩ remains unchanged, while |B(t)⟩ evolves along the longitude circle and acquires a geometric phase.
The eigenenergies of HI are 0, ± Ω. The corresponding eigenstates are
Where |d⟩ ≡ cos(θ/2)|↑, 1⟩ + sin(θ/2)eiφ|↑, 2⟩ is the dark state, |b⟩ ≡ sin(θ/2)e−iφ|↑, 1⟩ − cos(θ/2)|↑, 2⟩ is the bright state, and |a⟩ = |↑, 3⟩ is the intermediate state. The dark state does not evolve with time because the corresponding eigenenergy is zero. Thus, we define
where
is the evolution operator of HI, and
where
By choosing α(τ) = π at the final time τ, |ξ1(τ)⟩ = |ξ1(0)⟩ = |↑, 1⟩ and |ξ2(τ)⟩ = |ξ2(0)⟩ = |↑, 2⟩, i.e., |ξ1(t)⟩ and |ξ2(t)⟩ coincide with the computation bases |↑, 1⟩ and |↑, 2⟩ both at the beginning and end of time. It can be easily verified that the parallel transport condition ⟨ξ1(t)|HI(t)|ξ2(t)⟩ = 0 is satisfied during the whole evolution t ∈ [0, τ]. Thus, the dynamic phases vanish and the evolution operator U(τ) in the subspace spanned by |↑, 1⟩ and |↑, 2⟩ is [19, 29]
where n = (sin θ cos φ, sin θ sin φ, cos θ), σ = (σx, σy, σz) are the Pauli operators, and the connection matrix
whose matrix elements are determined by
Therefore, a single-qubit holonomic gate on the coupled Rydberg states is realized by adjusting the complex ratio tan(θ/2)eiφ between the Rabi frequencies of the two driving fields. For example, a Hadamard gate H is realized by (θ, φ) = (π/4, 0), and a NOT gate X is realized by (θ, φ) = (π/2, 0). In addition, two sequential holonomic gates lead to
which forms an arbitrary SU(2) transformation that rotates the state around the axis n ×m by the angle 2 arccos(n ⋅m) [19, 68]. For instance, the π/8 phase gate [68] is realized by two sequential gates with (θ, φ) = (π/2, 0) and (θ, φ) = (π/2, π/8).
Next, we will demonstrate the two-qubit gate proposal by taking two spin states into account. As shown in Figure 2A, the Rydberg states with spin down are off-resonant with the driving fields. Thus, the subspace spanned by {|↓, nz⟩} (nz = 1, 2, 3) is decoupled with the driving fields. The total evolution operator in the subspace spanned by {|↓, 1⟩, |↓, 2⟩, |↑, 1⟩, |↑, 2⟩} is
where U is the single-qubit gate on the Rydberg states according to Eq. 14. In this way, the holonomic controlled-U gate with the spin state being the control qubit is realized. In addition, according to Eq. 17, by applying two controlled gate sequentially, we can realize an arbitrary controlled-U gate. For example, by choosing (θ, φ) = (π/2, 0), U = X and a CNOT gate is realized as
where I and X are the identity operator and qubit-flip operator in the subspace spanned by {|nz = 1⟩, |nz = 2⟩}, respectively. The Rydberg states flip only if the spin state is |↑⟩. Similarly, by choosing (θ, φ) = (0, 0), U = Z and a controlled phase (CZ) gate is achieved.
In the presence of dissipation, the evolution of the system can be described by the quantum master equation [69]
where the Lindblad operator is
where {A, B} = AB+ BA is the anti-commutator, Cmn = |m⟩⟨n| is the collapse operator with the corresponding decay rate κmn. It is noteworthy that κmn increases with the electric holding field E⊥ induced by the electrodes, cf. the Supplementary Material. For typical experimental configuration, E⊥ is on the order of 100 ∼ 1000 V/cm [70]. Hereafter the evolution with dissipation is solved by QuTiP [71, 72].
3 Results
The state fidelity F between the final state ρ(t) and the ideal target state ρi is defined as [68]
In Table 1, we present the fidelity of the CNOT gate with typical initial states under the influence of dissipation. While in Table 2, we present the fidelity of the controlled-phase (CZ) gate. The decay rates are calculated under a typical electric holding field E⊥ = 100 V/cm [73]. Because the adiabatic condition is not required during the evolution, the evolving time can be very short. For the typical microwave driving with Rabi frequency ΩR/2π = 40 MHz [50, 73], we use the Gaussian driving pulse with the duration T = 2π/ΩR = 25 ns and the standard deviation σ = T/8. The full width at half maxima (FWHM) is

It is noteworthy that the CNOT gate can generate an entangled state from a product state. Thus, we present the time evolution of the initial product state

FIGURE 4. (A) Real and (B) imaginary part of the density matrix of the output state from the initial state
Generally the electric holding field E⊥ is applied to the experimental system in order to confine the motion of electrons and tune the energy spacing between the Rydberg states. E⊥ is on the order of 100 ∼ 1000 V/cm for typical experimental configuration [70]. Because κmn increases with E⊥, we investigate the fidelity with initial state
As for the single-qubit gate, we can apply four resonant drivings with frequencies being respectively ω13, ω23, ω13 + δ13, and ω23 + δ23, and simultaneously perform two NHQC gates in the spin up and spin down subspace, as shown in Figure 6. In this way, a single-qubit gate on the Rydberg state is performed, i.e.,
where U is the single-qubit operation in Eq. 14 and I is the identity operator. This proposal still works when the driving pulses ω13, ω23 and ω13 + δ13, ω23 + δ23 are not applied simultaneously. In Table 3 we present the average output-state fidelity of the single-qubit NOT gate and Hadamard gate. The “non-simultaneous case” implies that the driving pulses with frequencies ω13 + δ13 and ω23 + δ23 are applied T/4 later than the driving pulses with frequencies ω13 and ω23. The state fidelity is obtained by the following procedures. We begin with the initial state
FIGURE 6. The transition frequencies between different energy levels. In the single-qubit gate proposal, we apply four resonant drivings with frequencies being respectively ω13, ω23, ω13 + δ13, and ω23 + δ23. In the controlled gate proposal which regards the Rydberg states as the control qubit, one resonant driving with frequency being ωZ2 is applied.

4 Conclusion and remarks
In this work, we present a scheme to realize nonadiabatic holonomic gates in an SE system based on the experimental configuration [67]. By applying the state-selective pulses, three Rydberg states with spin up are coupled with driving fields. During the evolution, two orthogonal bases acquire different geometric phases and thus perform a geometric gate. By varying the complex ratio between the Rabi frequencies of the two driving fields, the universal single-qubit nonadiabatic holonomic quantum gate is realized. The controlled-U gate on the Rydberg and spin states is based on the different Zeeman energy splittings in the inhomogeneous magnetic field. With the state-selective driving pulses we perform an arbitrary single-qubit gate U on the Rydberg states with spin up while the Rydberg states with spin down remain unchanged.
It is noteworthy that we can also realize controlled-U gates considering the Rydberg states as the control qubit. As shown in Figure 6, the electron-spin-resonance frequencies of |nz = 1⟩ and |nz = 2⟩ are ωZ1 and ωZ2, respectively. Because the magnetic field at the expected positions of |nz = 1⟩ and |nz = 2⟩ are different, the difference between ωZ1 and ωZ2 is δ12 = ωZ1 − ωZ2 = gμB(B(1) − B(2)). δ12 is on the order of several hundreds MHz, which is much larger than the decay rate
Because of the fast nonadiabatic evolution, the NHQC proposal is robust against dissipation. Our theoretical scheme is based on the experimental configuration, and the parameters are experimentally achievable. Therefore, this work will supply heuristic insight for fast-manipulation tasks of holonomic quantum computation that involve both the Rydberg and spin states of the SE.
