Abstrakt: Quantum computing in high-dimensional spaces holds promise for a plethora of applications, i.e., handling more intricate information and executing wider quantum operations, in complex quantum information technologies (QITs). In the paper, we set up an error-heralded, resource-saving, circuit-simplified, and 4×4-dimensional controlled-not (CNOT) gate, where the polarized and spatial state of the flying photon (i.e., the control qudit) can effectively control the collective spin wave state of two atomic ensembles (i.e., the target qudit) in two double-sided cavities. Moreover, through meticulous analysis, the feasibility of the high-dimensional gate using existing technology boasts the exceptional performance including a near-unity fidelity and high efficiency exceeding 0.95, in principle, as the undesired performances originated from the little side leakage and the finite coupling strength, and the imperfect atom-ensemble-cavity interactions are heralded by single-photon detectors. Besides, auxiliary photons or atomic ensembles are unnecessary. Therefore, our protocol stands out for its simplicity, efficient resource utilization, and real-time error prediction, contributing significantly to the efficacy of QIT and charting a promising path towards the realization of high-dimensional quantum computing endowed with heightened capabilities.
