Polarization-gradient cooling of 1D and 2D ion Coulomb crystals
M. K. Joshi, A. Fabre, C. Maier +5
We present experiments on polarization gradient cooling of Ca multi-ion Coulomb crystals in a linear Paul trap. Polarization gradient cooling of the collective modes of motion…
Quantum information scrambling in a trapped-ion quantum simulator with tunable range interactions
Manoj K. Joshi, Andreas Elben, Benoît Vermersch +5
In ergodic many-body quantum systems, locally encoded quantum information becomes, in the course of time evolution, inaccessible to local measurements. This concept of "scrambling"…
Cross-Platform Verification of Intermediate Scale Quantum Devices
Andreas Elben, Benoît Vermersch, Rick van Bijnen +7
We describe a protocol for cross-platform verification of quantum simulators and quantum computers. We show how to measure directly the overlap an…
Self-Verifying Variational Quantum Simulation of the Lattice Schwinger Model
Christian Kokail, Christine Maier, Rick van Bijnen +8
Hybrid classical-quantum algorithms aim at variationally solving optimisation problems, using a feedback loop between a classical computer and a quantum co-processor, while benefit…
Population dynamics in sideband cooling of trapped ions outside the Lamb-Dicke regime
M. K. Joshi, P. Hrmo, V. Jarlaud +2
We present the results of simulations of optical sideband cooling of atomic ions in a trap with a shallow potential well. In such traps, an ion cannot be Doppler cooled near to the…
