Programmable XY-type couplings through parallel spin-dependent forces on the same trapped ion motional modes

Nikhil Kotibhaskar, Chung-You Shih, Sainath Motlakunta +4

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an analog scheme for generating XY-type ($J_{ij}^x{\sigma }_x^i{\sigma }_x^j$ + $J_{ij}^y{\sigma }_y^i{\sigma }_y^j$) Hamiltonians on trapped ion spins with ind…
