Simulation of Single‐Qubit Gates in Spin–Orbit Coupled Bose–Einstein Condensate With Cubic–Quintic Nonlinearity by Nonlinear Perturbations

We consider spin–orbit coupled Bose–Einstein condensates with cubic–quintic nonlinear interaction within the framework of second quantization formulation and find eigen states using numerical simulation and mean‐field approximation. We show that two low‐lying Schrödinger cat states remain degenerate upto a certain value of Raman coupling strength and these states can serve as qubit basis. We take three different nonlinear perturbations and find that the perturbations can result in different rotations of qubit state on Bloch sphere. We calculate the unitary operator corresponding to each perturbation and suggest the possibilities for obtaining various gates in ultra‐cold atomic system.
