QSCOUT's Qubit-Boson Gate Set
Edward C. Tortorici, Ethan C. McGarrigle, Brian K. McFarland +6
The Quantum Scientific Computing Open User Testbed (QSCOUT) has developed a qubit-boson gate set for hybrid continuous-discrete variable (CV-DV) quantum computing. This document ou…
High-performance gates on trapped ion qubits using counterpropagating pulse-shaped laser beams
Evangelos Piliouras, Hisham Amer, Susan M. Clark +9
Highly-localized light-matter interactions are necessary for scaling trapped-ion architectures. In hyperfine qubits, counterpropagating beams generate entangling gates by coupling…
Nonlinear Coupling between Motional Modes in Trapped Ion Quantum Processors
Wes Johnson, Brandon Ruzic
Trapped-ion crystals are a leading platform for quantum information science, but achieving the high-fidelity entangling gates required for fault-tolerant quantum computing becomes…
Solovay Kitaev Algorithm and Randomized Compilation
Oliver Maupin, Ashlyn D. Burch, Christopher G. Yale +10
We analyze the use of the Solovay Kitaev (SK) algorithm to generate an ensemble of one qubit rotations over which to perform randomized compilation. We perform simulations to compa…
Realization and Calibration of Continuously Parameterized Two-Qubit Gates on a Trapped-Ion Quantum Processor
Christopher G. Yale, Ashlyn D. Burch, Matthew N. H. Chow +5
Continuously parameterized two-qubit gates are a key feature of state-of-the-art trapped-ion quantum processors as they have favorable error scalings and show distinct improvements…
