• Abstract: We introduce a family of quantized field states that can perform exact (entanglement- and error-free) rotations of a two-level atom starting from a specific state on the Bloch sphere. We discuss the similarities and differences between these states and the recently-introduced "transcoherent states." Our field states have the property that they are left unchanged after the rotation, and we find they are the asymptotic states obtained when a field interacts with a succession of identically prepared ancillary atoms. Such a scheme was recently proposed [npj Quantum Information 3:17 (2017)] as a way to "restore" a field state after its interaction with a two-level atom, so as to reuse it afterwards, thus reducing the energy requirements for successive quantum logical operations. We generalize this scheme to find optimal pulses for arbitrary rotations, and also study analytically what happens if the ancillas are in a mixed, rather than a pure state. Consistent with the numerical results in the original proposal, we find that as long as the ancilla preparation error is small (of the order of $1/\bar n$, where $\bar n$ is the average number of atoms in the pulses considered) it will introduce only higher-order errors in the performance of the restored pulse.

  A candidate application for quantum computers is to simulate the low-temperature properties of quantum systems. This paper shows that, for most random Hamiltonians, the maximally mixed state is a sufficiently good trial state. Phase estimation efficiently prepares states with energy arbitrarily close to the ground energy.

• Beyond transcoherent states: Field states for effecting optimal coherent rotations on single or multiple qubits [0.0]
  We introduce field states that transform an atom from its ground or excited state to any point on the Bloch sphere without residual atom-field entanglement. The best strong pulses for carrying out rotations by angle $theta$ are are squeezed in photon-number variance by a factor of $rmsinctheta$. We extend these investigations to fields interacting with multiple atoms simultaneously, discovering once again that number squeezing by $tfracpi2$ is optimal for enacting $tfracpi2$ pulses on all of the atoms simultaneously.

  We show that starting from twisted -- rather than ordinary -- $W$ states is equivalent to renormalizing downwards the relevant Rabi frequencies. While this leads to somewhat longer state-conversion times, we also demonstrate that those times are at least two orders of magnitude shorter than typical lifetimes of relevant Rydberg states.
