This paper proposes scalable schemes to generate the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state and the cluster state with atomic ensembles via the dipole blockade mechanism on an atom chip, where the qubit is not carried by a single atom but an atomic ensemble. In the protocols, multiqubit entangled states are determinately prepared. Needlessness for single-photon source further decreases the complexity of the experiment. Based on the present laboratory technique, the schemes may be realized. The achieved results reveal a prospect for large-scale quantum communication and quantum computation.
This paper proposes a scalable scheme to generate n-atom GHZ states and cluster states by using the basic building block, i.e., a weak coherent optical pulse |α> being reflected successively from a single-atom cavity. In the schemes, coherent state of light is used instead of single photon source, homodyne measurement on coherent light is done instead of single photon detection, and no need for individually addressing keeps the schemes easy to implement from the experimental point of view. The successful probabilities of our protocols approach unity in the ideal case.
This paper presents a direct implementation scheme of the non-local multi-qubit controlled phase gate by using optical fibres and adiabatic passage. The smaller operation number for implementing the multi-qubit controlled phase gate and needlessness for addressing individually save physical resource and lower the difficulties of experiment. Mean-while, the scheme is immune from some decoherence effects such as the atomic spontaneous emission and fibre loss. In principle, it is scalable.
