Integrated optical multi-ion quantum logic

Abstract

Practical and useful quantum information processing (QIP) requires significant improvements with respect to current systems, both in error rates of basic operations and in scale. Individual trapped-ion qubits' fundamental qualities are promising for long-term systems, but the optics involved in their precise control are a barrier to scaling. Planar-fabricated optics integrated within ion trap devices can make such systems simultaneously more robust and parallelizable, as suggested by previous work with single ions. Here we use scalable optics co-fabricated with a surface-electrode ion trap to achieve high-fidelity multi-ion quantum logic gates, often the limiting elements in building up the precise, large-scale entanglement essential to quantum computation. Light is efficiently delivered to a trap chip in a cryogenic environment via direct fibre coupling on multiple channels, eliminating the need for beam alignment into vacuum systems and cryostats and lending robustness to vibrations and beam pointing drifts. This allows us to perform ground-state laser cooling of ion motion, and to implement gates generating two-ion entangled states with fidelities $>99.3(2)\%$. This work demonstrates hardware that reduces noise and drifts in sensitive quantum logic, and simultaneously offers a route to practical parallelization for high-fidelity quantum processors. Similar devices may also find applications in neutral atom and ion-based quantum-sensing and timekeeping.
