Error Correction in a Distributed Quantum Computer
E. M. Ainley, A. Agrawal, T. Araki +12
Building fault-tolerant quantum computers with large numbers of logical qubits requires both scalable hardware architectures and error-correcting codes that make efficient use of p…
Rydberg state engineering of trapped ions
Robin Thomm, Vinay Shankar, Natalia Kuk +3
Microwave dressing of Rydberg ions creates tunable eigenstates with controllable polarizability and interaction strength, but coherent navigation between these states has remained…
Decoupling of the STIRAP and Microwave-Dressing paths in Trapped Rydberg Ion Gates
K. N. Zlatanov, M. Mallweger, M. Hennrich +1
The strong dipole-dipole interaction of trapped Rydberg ions offers the possibility of sub-microsecond entanglement gates. For example a two-qubit Control-Phase gate in 88 Sr + ion…
Probing electronic state-dependent conformational changes in a trapped Rydberg ion Wigner crystal
Marion Mallweger, Natalia Kuk, Vinay Shankar +6
State-dependent conformational changes play a central role in molecular dynamics, yet they are often difficult to observe or simulate due to their complexity and ultrafast nature.…
Phononic bright and dark states: Investigating multi-mode light-matter interactions with a single trapped ion
Harry Parke, Robin Thomm, Alan C. Santos +8
Interference underpins some of the most practical and impactful properties of both the classical and quantum worlds. In this work we experimentally investigate a new formalism to d…
Motional state analysis of a trapped ion by ultra-narrowband composite pulses
Marion Mallweger, Milena Guevara-Bertsch, Boyan T. Torosov +7
In this work, we present a method for measuring the motional state of a two-level system coupled to a harmonic oscillator. Our technique uses ultra-narrowband composite pulses on t…
