Error Compensation of Single-Qubit Gates in a Surface Electrode Ion Trap Using Composite Pulses

Abstract

The fidelity of laser-driven quantum logic operations on trapped ion qubits tend to be lower than microwave-driven logic operations due to the difficulty of stabilizing the driving fields at the ion location. Through stabilization of the driving optical fields and use of composite pulse sequences, we demonstrate high fidelity single-qubit gates for the hyperfine qubit of a ${}^{171}{\text{Yb}}^{+}$ ion trapped in a microfabricated surface electrode ion trap. Gate error is characterized using a randomized benchmarking protocol, and an average error per randomized Clifford group gate of $3.6(3)\times 10^{-4}$ is measured. We also report experimental realization of palindromic pulse sequences that scale efficiently in sequence length.
