A trapped-ion based quantum byte with $10^{-5}$ next-neighbour cross-talk

Abstract

The addressing of a particular qubit within a quantum register is a key prerequisite for scalable quantum computing. In general, executing a quantum gate with a single qubit, or a subset of qubits, affects the quantum states of all other qubits. This reduced fidelity of the whole quantum register could prevent the application of quantum error correction protocols and thus preclude scalability. We demonstrate addressing of individual qubits within a quantum byte (eight qubits) and measure the error induced in all non-addressed qubits (cross-talk) associated with the application of single-qubit gates. The quantum byte is implemented using microwave-driven hyperfine qubits of ${}^{171}$Yb${}^{+}$ ions confined in a Paul trap augmented with a magnetic gradient field. The measured cross-talk is on the order of $10^{-5}$ and therefore below the threshold commonly agreed sufficient to efficiently realize fault-tolerant quantum computing. Hence, our results demonstrate how this threshold can be overcome with respect to cross-talk.
