Trapped-ion two-qubit gates with >99.99% fidelity without ground-state cooling

A. C. Hughes, R. Srinivas, C. M. Löschnauer +6

We introduce the 'smooth gate', an entangling method for trapped-ion qubits where residual spin-motion entanglement errors are adiabatically eliminated by ramping the gate detuning…

Subspace Leakage Error Randomized Benchmarking of Mølmer-Sørensen Gates

R. T. Sutherland, A. C. Hughes, J. P. Marceaux +3

We demonstrate a new technique that adapts single-qubit randomized benchmarking to two-qubit Mølmer-Sørensen gates. We use the controllable gate phase to generate Cliffords that ac…

Scalable, high-fidelity all-electronic control of trapped-ion qubits

C. M. Löschnauer, J. Mosca Toba, A. C. Hughes +10

The central challenge of quantum computing is implementing high-fidelity quantum gates at scale. However, many existing approaches to qubit control suffer from a scale-performance…

Breaking the entangling gate speed limit for trapped-ion qubits using a phase-stable standing wave

S. Saner, O. Băzăvan, M. Minder +6

All laser-driven entangling operations for trapped-ion qubits have hitherto been performed without control of the optical phase of the light field, which precludes independent tuni…

Verifiable blind quantum computing with trapped ions and single photons

P. Drmota, D. P. Nadlinger, D. Main +9

We report the first hybrid matter-photon implementation of verifiable blind quantum computing. We use a trapped-ion quantum server and a client-side photonic detection system netwo…

Experimental speedup of quantum dynamics through squeezing

S. C. Burd, H. M. Knaack, R. Srinivas +9

We show experimentally that a broad class of interactions involving quantum harmonic oscillators can be made stronger (amplified) using a unitary squeezing protocol. While our demo…

Robust Quantum Memory in a Trapped-Ion Quantum Network Node

P. Drmota, D. Main, D. P. Nadlinger +8

We integrate a long-lived memory qubit into a mixed-species trapped-ion quantum network node. Ion-photon entanglement first generated with a network qubit in Sr-88 is transferred t…

Synthesizing a spin-dependent force for optical, metastable, and ground state trapped-ion qubits

O. Băzăvan, S. Saner, M. Minder +5

A single bichromatic field near-resonant to a qubit transition is typically used for or Mølmer-Sørensen type interactions in trapped ion systems. Using this fie…

Individual addressing of trapped ion qubits with geometric phase gates

R. T. Sutherland, R. Srinivas, D. T. C. Allcock

We propose a new scheme for individual addressing of trapped ion qubits, selecting them via their motional frequency. We show that geometric phase gates can perform single-qubit ro…

Micromotion minimisation by synchronous detection of parametrically excited motion

D. P. Nadlinger, P. Drmota, D. Main +6

Precise control of charged particles in radio-frequency (Paul) traps requires minimising excess micromotion induced by stray electric fields. We present a method to detect and comp…
