Photonic scheme of discrete quantum Fourier transform for quantum algorithms via quantum dots

Abstract

We propose an optical scheme of discrete quantum Fourier transform (DQFT) via ancillary systems using quantum dots (QDs) confined in single-sided cavities (QD-cavity systems). In our DQFT scheme, the main component is a controlled-rotation k (CRk) gate, which utilizes the interactions between photons and CIDs, consisting of two QD-cavity systems. Since the proposed CRk gate can be experimentally implemented with high efficiency and reliable performance, the scalability of multi-qubit DQFT scheme can also be realized through the simple composition of the proposed CRk gates via the QD-cavity systems. Subsequently, in order to demonstrate the performance of the CRk gate, we analyze the interaction between a photon and a QD-cavity system, and then indicate the condition to be efficient CRk gate with feasibility under vacuum noise and sideband leakage.
