Toolbox for Microwave-driven Quantum Logic with Trapped Ions

چکیده
Trapped atomic ions are a well-advanced physical system for investigating fundamental questions of quantum physics and for quantum information science and its applications. When contemplating the scalability of trapped ions for quantum information science one notes that the use of laser light for coherent operations gives rise to technical and also physical issues that can be remedied by replacing laser light by long wavelength radiation in the microwave (MW) and radio-frequency (RF) regime radiation employing suitably modified ion traps.

Versatile microwave-driven trapped ion spin system for quantum information processing
Using trapped atomic ions, we demonstrate a tailored and versatile effective spin system suitable for quantum simulations and universal quantum computation. By simply applying microwave pulses, selected spins can be decoupled from the remaining system and, thus, can serve as a quantum memory, while simultaneously, other coupled spins perform conditional quantum dynamics. Also, microwave pulses ...
متن کاملIon-trap quantum logic using long-wavelength radiation.
A quantum information processor is proposed that combines experimental techniques and technology successfully demonstrated either in nuclear magnetic resonance experiments or with trapped ions. An additional inhomogeneous magnetic field applied to an ion trap (i) shifts individual ionic resonances (qubits), making them distinguishable by frequency, and (ii) mediates the coupling between interna...

Atomic ions confined in multi-electrode traps have been proposed as a basis for scalable quantum information processing. This scheme involves transporting ions between spatially distinct locations by use of time-varying electric potentials combined with laser or microwave pulses for quantum logic in specific locations. We report the development of a fast multi-channel arbitrary waveform generat...

Systems of trapped ions have proven to be an ideal physical system for demonstrating small-scale quantum information processing and quantum simulation [1–5]. By making use of the strong motional coupling between co-trapped ions, numerous different implementations of high-fidelity quantum gates between individual ions have been demonstrated [6–10]. Many of these implementations make use of spin ...
متن کاملMicrowave-induced cooling of a superconducting qubit.
We demonstrated microwave-induced cooling in a superconducting flux qubit. The thermal population in the first-excited state of the qubit is driven to a higher-excited state by way of a sideband transition. Subsequent relaxation into the ground state results in cooling. Effective temperatures as low as approximately 3 millikelvin are achieved for bath temperatures of 30 to 400 millikelvin, a co...
