Section titled “Technical Documentation & Analysis: Hyper-Parallel QIP using NV-Diamond”6CCVD Reference Document: QIP-NV-2004.02495v1 Application Focus: Hyper-Parallel Quantum Information Processing (QIP) and Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (cQED)
Executive Summary
Section titled “Executive Summary”This research demonstrates a robust, deterministic method for implementing complex quantum gates, relying heavily on the exceptional properties of the Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) defect center in diamond. 6CCVD is uniquely positioned to supply the foundational material required for the replication and scaling of this technology.
- Deterministic Hyper-Gate: The paper proposes a deterministic two-photon, three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) hyper-parallel controlled-phase-flip (hyper-CPF) gate.
- Platform: The gate utilizes negatively charged Nitrogen Vacancy (NV-) defect centers trapped within double-sided resonant microcavities (cQED architecture).
- Enhanced Robustness: Qubits are encoded in frequency, spatial mode, and time-bin DOFs, providing immunity to common decoherence effects (e.g., polarization mode dispersion in optical fibers).
- High Performance: Simulations based on realistic NV parameters demonstrate exceptional performance, achieving an Average Fidelity ($F_{Block}$) of 99.99% and an Average Efficiency ($\eta_{Block}$) of 66.01%.
- Material Requirement: Successful implementation requires ultra-high purity, low-strain Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) substrates to maximize NV center coherence time and minimize side leakage ($\kappa_s/\kappa$).
- Core Advantage: The hyper-CPF gate significantly increases quantum channel capacity and reduces the quantum resource overhead compared to conventional single-DOF schemes.

Key Methodologies
Section titled “Key Methodologies”The implementation of the hyper-CPF gate relies on precise control over photon-NV interactions within a cQED architecture.
- Platform Foundation: Utilize a negatively charged NV center (NV-) embedded in a double-sided resonant microcavity.
- Qubit Encoding: Qubits are encoded across three distinct degrees of freedom (DOFs) of the single photon system:
- Frequency ($\omega_1, \omega_2$)
- Spatial Mode ($a_1, a_2$)
- Time-Bin ($l_1, l_2$)
- Spin-Dependent Transitions: The scheme exploits the spin-dependence of optical transition rules in the NV center, where the reflection/transmission coefficients ($r(\omega)/t(\omega)$) are controlled by the NV spin state.
- Hadamard Operations: Half-Wave Plates (HWP) rotated at 22.5° are used to perform Hadamard transformations on the photon polarization DOF.
- Wavelength & Spatial Manipulation: Polarization Independent Wavelength Division Multiplexers (WDM) and Frequency Shifters (FS) are used to separate wavepackets and perform frequency flips ($\omega_1 \leftrightarrow \omega_2$).
- Time-Bin Control: Pockels Cells (PC) are employed to perform polarization bit-flip operations conditional on the time-bin component of the photon.
- Feed-Forward Control: The gate is completed by measuring the outcomes of the three NV electron spins ($e_1, e_2, e_3$) and applying conditional feed-forward operations (phase flips, $\sigma_z$) to the exiting photons.

Abstract Hyper‐parallel quantum information processing is a promising and beneficial research field. Herein, a method to implement a hyper‐parallel controlled‐phase‐flip (hyper‐CPF) gate for frequency‐, spatial‐, and time‐bin‐encoded qubits by coupling flying photons to trapped nitrogen vacancy (NV) defect centers is presented. The scheme, which differs from their conventional parallel counterparts, is specifically advantageous in decreasing against the dissipate noise, increasing the quantum channel capacity, and reducing the quantum resource overhead. The gate qubits with frequency, spatial, and time‐bin degrees of freedom (DOF) are immune to quantum decoherence in optical fibers, whereas the polarization photons are easily disturbed by the ambient noise.
