QUANTUM COMPUTATION WITH GENERALIZED BINOMIAL STATES IN CAVITY QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS

We study universal quantum computation in the cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) framework exploiting two orthonormal two-photon generalized binomial states as qubit and dispersive interactions of Rydberg atoms with high-Q cavities. We show that an arbitrary qubit state may be generated and that controlled-NOT and 1-qubit rotation gates can be realized via standard atom-cavity interaction
