Quantum Process Tomography of a Molmer-Sorensen Interaction

Abstract

We report the quantum process tomography of a M$ø$lmer-S$ø$rensen entangling gate. The tomographic protocol relies on a single discriminatory transition, exploiting excess micromotion in the trap to realize all operations required to prepare all input states and analyze all output states. Using a master-slave diode lasers setup, we demonstrate a two-qubit entangling gate, with a fidelity of Bell state production of 0.985(10). We characterize its $\chi$-process matrix, the simplest for an entanglement gate on a separable-states basis, and we observe that the dominant source of error is accurately modelled by a quantum depolarization channel.
