High Fidelity Quantum Gates for Trapped Ions under Micromotion
arXiv:1403.7148 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.90.022332
Abstract
Two or three dimensional Paul traps can confine a large number of ions forming a Wigner crystal, which would provide an ideal architecture for scalable quantum computation except for the micromotion, an issue that is widely believed to be the killer for high fidelity quantum gates. Surprisingly, here we show that the micromotion is not an obstacle at all for design of high fidelity quantum gates, even though the magnitude of the micromotion is significantly beyond the requirement of the Lamb-Dicke condition. Through exact solution of the quantum Mathieu equations, we demonstrate the principle of the gate design under micromotion using two ions in a quadrupole Paul trap as an example. The proposed micromotion quantum gates can be extended to the many ion case, paving a new way for scalable trapped ion quantum computation.
