Jauslin %J Physics %D 2005 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevA.72.062309 %X We present a process for the construction of a SWAP gate which does not require a composition of elementary gates from a universal set. We propose to employ direct techniques adapted to the preparation of this specific gate. The mechanism, based on adiabatic passage, constitutes a decoherence-free method in the sense that spontaneous emission and cavity damping are avoided. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0505163v2
