Revealing Noise in Axial Motion Through Quantum Noise Spectroscopy on a Trapped Ion Processor

Vivian Maloney, Matthew Chow, Leigh Norris +7

Native noise processes in quantum processors are often difficult to isolate because multiple error mechanisms contribute to the same measured loss of coherence. Here we use dephasi…
