Demonstrating Coherent Quantum Routers for Bucket-Brigade Quantum Random Access Memory on a Superconducting Processor

Le résumé fourni par la source

Quantum routers (QRouters) are essential components of bucket-brigade quantum random access memory (QRAM), enabling quantum applications such as Grover’s search and quantum machine learning. Despite significant theoretical advances, achieving scalable and coherent QRouters experimentally remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate coherent quantum routers using a superconducting quantum processor, laying a practical foundation for scalable QRAM systems. The quantum router at the core of our implementation utilizes the transition composite gate scheme, wherein auxiliary energy levels temporarily mediate conditional interactions. By leveraging two-qubit primitives in its construction, the quantum router preserves straightforward initialization and calibration while significantly reducing circuit depth and duration relative to traditional gate-based decompositions. Moreover, by encoding routing addresses in the nonadjacent qutrit states | 0 ⟩ and | 2 ⟩ , our design inherently enables erasure-detection capability, providing efficient postselection to mitigate routing errors. Experimentally, we achieve an average fidelity of 94.8% across three individual QRouters, and we validate scalability through a two-layer quantum routing network achieving a fidelity of 82.4%. Our results represent a significant advancement in quantum routing technology, providing enhanced fidelity, built-in error resilience, and practical scalability crucial for the development of future QRAM and large-scale quantum computing architectures.
