Abstract

Entangling remote qubits is an essential technological element in the distributed quantum information processing. Here, we propose a deterministic scheme to generate maximal entanglement between remote superconducting atoms, using a propagating microwave photon as a flying qubit. The building block of this scheme is an atom-photon two-qubit gate, in which the photon qubit is encoded on its carrier frequencies. The gate operation completes deterministically upon reflection of a photon, and the gate type can be continuously varied (including swap, SWAP, and identity gates) through in situ control of the drive field. Applying such atom-photon gates sequentially, we can perform various gate operations between remote superconducting atoms.
