Comparison of trapped-ion entangling gate mechanisms for mixed species

V. M. Schäfer, A. C. Hughes, O. Bazavan +4

Entangling gates are an essential capability of quantum computers. There are different methods for implementing two-qubit gates, with respective advantages and disadvantages. We in…

Benchmarking a high-fidelity mixed-species entangling gate

A. C. Hughes, V. M. Schäfer, K. Thirumalai +4

We implement a two-qubit logic gate between a hyperfine qubit and a Zeeman qubit. For this pair of ion species, the S--P optical trans…

High-rate, high-fidelity entanglement of qubits across an elementary quantum network

L J Stephenson, D P Nadlinger, B C Nichol +7

We demonstrate remote entanglement of trapped-ion qubits via a quantum-optical fiber link with fidelity and rate approaching those of local operations. Two Sr qubi…

Magnetic field stabilization system for atomic physics experiments

B. Merkel, K. Thirumalai, J. E. Tarlton +4

Atomic physics experiments commonly use millitesla-scale magnetic fields to provide a quantization axis. As atomic transition frequencies depend on the amplitude of this field, man…

Fast quantum logic gates with trapped-ion qubits

V. M. Schäfer, C. J. Ballance, K. Thirumalai +4

Quantum bits based on individual trapped atomic ions constitute a promising technology for building a quantum computer, with all the elementary operations having been achieved with…
