Geometric Phases and Topological Quantum Computation
نویسنده
چکیده
In the first part of this review we introduce the basics theory behind geometric phases and emphasize their importance in quantum theory. The subject is presented in a general way so as to illustrate its wide applicability, but we also introduce a number of examples that will help the reader understand the basic issues involved. In the second part we show how to perform a universal quantum computation using only geometric effects appearing in quantum phases. It is then finally discussed how this geometric way of performing quantum gates can lead to a stable, large scale, intrinsically fault-tolerant quantum computer.

Holonomic Quantum Computation
A considerable understanding of the formal description of quantum mechanics has been achieved after Berry’s discovery [2] of a geometric feature related to the motion of a quantum system. He showed that the wave function of a quantum object retains a memory of its evolution in its complex phase argument, which, apart from the usual dynamical contribution, only depends on the “geometry” of the p...
متن کاملGeometric Classification of Topological Quantum Phases
On the basis of the principle that topological quantum phases arise from the scattering around space-time defects in higher dimensional unification, a geometric model is presented that associates with each quantum phase an element of a transformation group.
متن کاملGeometric phase of a qubit interacting with a squeezed-thermal bath
We study the geometric phase of an open two-level quantum system under the influence of a squeezed, thermal environment for both non-dissipative as well as dissipative system-environment interactions. In the non-dissipative case, squeezing is found to have a similar influence as temperature, of suppressing geometric phase, while in the dissipative case, squeezing tends to counteract the suppres...
متن کاملNodal free geometric phases: Concept and application to geometric quantum computation
Nodal free geometric phases are the eigenvalues of the final member of a parallel transporting family of unitary operators. These phases are gauge invariant, always well-defined, and can be measured interferometrically. Nodal free geometric phases can be used to construct various types of quantum phase gates.
