Abstract

In quantum logic operations, information is carried by the wave function rather than the energy distribution. Therefore, the relative phase is essential. Abelian and non-Abelian phases can be emulated in classical waves using passive coupled waveguides with geometric modulation. However, the dynamic phase interference induced by waveguide structure variation is inevitable. To overcome the challenges, we introduce an electroacoustic coupled system that enables the precise control of phase distribution through dynamic modulation of hopping. Such effective hopping is electronically controlled and is utilized to construct various paths in parameter space. These paths lead to state evolution with matrix-valued geometric phases, which correspond to logic operations. We report experimental realizations of several logic operations, including the Y gate, Z gate, Hadamard gate, and non-Abelian braiding. Our work introduces a temporal process to manipulate transient modes in a compact structure, providing a versatile experimental testbed for exploring other logic gates and exotic topological phenomena.
