Description

In this talk, I will introduce a proposal for a quantum computing model that leverages a qubit's motion to suppress decoherence while enabling quantum gates. By treating the qubit as a moving Unruh-DeWitt detector interacting with a quantum field in a cavity, we use its trajectory to eliminate dominant decoherence channels—an effect known as acceleration-induced transparency. One-qubit gates are implemented via controlled counter-rotating interactions, while two-qubit gates exploit entanglement harvesting from the vacuum, enhanced by field squeezing. Finally, I will discuss how periodicity in the qubit’s trajectory is used to eliminate spurious phase accumulation during gate operations, while simultaneously preserving the transparency condition throughout the evolution.
