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…

Optimized experiment design and analysis for fully randomized benchmarking

Alex Kwiatkowski, Laurent J. Stephenson, Hannah M. Knaack +6

Randomized benchmarking (RB) is a widely used strategy to assess the quality of available quantum gates in a computational context. RB involves applying known random sequences of g…

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…

High-fidelity laser-free universal control of two trapped ion qubits

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

Universal control of multiple qubits -- the ability to entangle qubits and to perform arbitrary individual qubit operations -- is a fundamental resource for quantum computation, si…

Quantum amplification of boson-mediated interactions

S. C. Burd, R. Srinivas, H. M. Knaack +7

Strong and precisely-controlled interactions between quantum objects are essential for quantum information processing, simulation, and sensing, and for the formation of exotic quan…
