Simplified construction of $n$-qubit controlled phase gates and physical realization
Abstract
We show that with the assistance of a third level of the qubits an n-qubit phase gate can be constructed from $2n-4$ two-qutrit conditional swap gates, a single qutrit-qubit controlled phase gate, and two single-qutrit operations. Unlike previous schemes, our scheme uses the auxiliary level to "expose" some state to the qutrit-qubit controlled phase gate, instead of using it to "hide" states from the conditional dynamics. Neither the number of the additional levels nor that of single-qutrit operations needs to increase with $n$. We propose a physical implementation of the required elementary gates in cavity QED, and show that the total gate time may be greatly reduced as compared with that required in the previous methods.
