Non-linear cooling and control of a mechanical quantum harmonic oscillator
Matteo Simoni, Ivan Rojkov, Matteo Mazzanti +7
Non-linearities are a key feature allowing non-classical control of quantum harmonic oscillators. However, when non-linearities are strong, designing protocols for control is often…
Quadratic spin-phonon coupling and bipolarons in trapped ions
L. P. H. Gallagher, M. Mazzanti, Z. E. D. Ackerman +3
We consider the quantum simulation of quadratic spin-phonon coupling in a crystal of trapped ions. The coupling is implemented using tightly focused optical tweezers on each ion th…
Non-paraxial effects on laser-qubit operations
L. P. H. Gallagher, M. Mazzanti, Z. E. D. Ackerman +3
Tightly-focused laser beams, or optical tweezers, are essential for analogue and digital quantum simulation with neutral atoms and trapped ions. Despite this, most of the current i…
Engineering spin-spin interactions with optical tweezers in trapped ions
Juan Diego Arias Espinoza, Matteo Mazzanti, Katya Fouka +5
We propose a new method for generating programmable interactions in one- and two-dimensional trapped-ion quantum simulators. Here we consider the use of optical tweezers to enginee…
A high-fidelity method for a single-step -bit Toffoli gate in trapped ions
Juan Diego Arias Espinoza, Koen Groenland, Matteo Mazzanti +2
Conditional multi-qubit gates are a key component for elaborate quantum algorithms. In a recent work, Rasmussen et al. (Phys. Rev. A 101, 022308) proposed an efficient single-step…
