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…

Implementing and benchmarking dynamically corrected gates on superconducting devices using space curve quantum control
Hisham Amer, Evangelos Piliouras, Edwin Barnes +1
We use Space Curve Quantum Control (SCQC) to design, experimentally demonstrate, and benchmark dynamically corrected single-qubit gates on IBM hardware, comparing their performance…

Parameterization and optimizability of pulse-level VQEs
Kyle M Sherbert, Hisham Amer, Sophia E Economou +2
In conventional variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs), trial states are prepared by applying series of parameterized gates to a reference state, with the gate parameters being va…
