Quantum Random Access Memory Implementation Using Photon-Photon Interaction in Rydberg Atomic Ensemble

RESUMO

Quantum random access memory (qRAM) is crucial for overcoming data-loading bottlenecks in quantum machine learning; however, current physical implementations face severe scalability constraints. Traditional fanout designs demand exponential decoherence-prone gates, while bucket-brigade schemes require highly error-prone active switches. Motivated by these limitations, we propose a scalable qRAM architecture that fundamentally replaces active nodes with phase-encoded quantum walkers. Our methodology maps a discrete-time quantum walk onto a cavity quantum electrodynamics framework utilizing an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-based Rydberg atomic ensemble. Inside hollow-core waveguides, strong Rydberg dipole-dipole interactions and a solenoidal magnetic field create a robust routing operator. This operator imparts precise, polarization-dependent phase shifts, steering circularly polarized probe pulses to target memory cells. Our results demonstrate that operating within a strong control field regime suppresses emergent spatial attenuation, ensuring cumulative transmission probabilities for highly scaled memory addresses. Ultimately, this parallelized architecture successfully optimizes spatial resources to static gates and temporal complexity to an optimal logarithmic scale of $\mathcal{O}(n\log(n+m))$ by requiring $\mathcal{O}(n+m)$ physical walkers, establishing a practical, fault-tolerant hardware pathway for advanced quantum computation implementations.
