Automated Flag-based Fault-Tolerant State Preparation using Integer Linear Programming

Ben Criger, Aaron Hankin, Justin J. Burau +1

Post-selected stabilizer state preparation is a necessary subroutine in fault-tolerant quantum computation, both for initialization of logical qubits, and for logical-ancilla-based…

Quantum Error-Corrected Computation of Molecular Energies

Kentaro Yamamoto, Yuta Kikuchi, David Amaro +18

We present the first demonstration of an end-to-end pipeline with quantum error correction (QEC) for a quantum computation of the electronic structure of molecular systems. We calc…

Digital quantum magnetism on a trapped-ion quantum computer

Reza Haghshenas, Eli Chertkov, Michael Mills +56

Digital quantum matter -- realized when discrete quantum gates approximate continuous time evolution -- is susceptible to heating into chaotic, structureless states. If digitizatio…

Narrowline Laser Cooling and Spectroscopy of Molecules via Stark States

Kameron Mehling, Justin J. Burau, Logan E. Hillberry +5

The electronic energy level structure of yttrium monoxide (YO) provides a long-lived, low-lying state ideal for high-precision molecular spectroscopy, narrowline laser cool…

Collisions of Spin-polarized YO Molecules for Single Partial Waves

Justin J. Burau, Kameron Mehling, Matthew D. Frye +4

Efficient sub-Doppler laser cooling and optical trapping of YO molecules offer new opportunities to study collisional dynamics in the quantum regime. Confined in a crossed optical…

Blue-Detuned Magneto-Optical Trap of Molecules

Justin J. Burau, Parul Aggarwal, Kameron Mehling +1

Direct laser cooling of molecules has reached a phase space density exceeding 10 in optical traps, but with rather small molecular numbers. To progress towards quantum degen…

High Phase-Space Density of Laser-Cooled Molecules in an Optical Lattice

Yewei Wu, Justin J. Burau, Kameron Mehling +2

We report laser cooling and trapping of yttrium monoxide (YO) molecules in an optical lattice. We show that gray molasses cooling remains exceptionally efficient for YO molecules i…
