Optical Ferris wheels as a platform for collisional quantum gates

We show how optical Ferris wheel light fields can be exploited for the generation of internal-state-dependent optical lattices. We furthermore demonstrate how these lattices can be employed for the realization of controllable collisional gates. By employing realistic and experimentally accessible parameters, we demonstrate the potential of such gates, taking advantage of the extraordinary properties of optical Ferris wheels for efficient and scalable quantum computation.
