Multi-junction surface ion trap for quantum computing

J. D. Sterk, M. G. Blain, M. Delaney +11

Surface ion traps with two-dimensional layouts of trapping regions are natural architectures for storing large numbers of ions and supporting the connectivity needed to implement q…

Closed-loop optimization of fast trapped-ion shuttling with sub-quanta excitation

Jonathan D. Sterk, Henry Coakley, Joshua Goldberg +7

Shuttling ions at high speed and with low motional excitation is essential for realizing fast and high-fidelity algorithms in many trapped-ion based quantum computing architectures…

Entangling-gate error from coherently displaced motional modes of trapped ions

B. P. Ruzic, T. A. Barrick, J. D. Hunker +7

Entangling gates in trapped-ion quantum computing have primarily targeted stationary ions with initial motional distributions that are thermal and close to the ground state. Howeve…

Assembling a ring-shaped crystal in a microfabricated surface ion trap

Boyan Tabakov, Francisco Benito, Matthew Blain +7

We report on experiments with a microfabricated surface trap designed for trapping a chain of ions in a ring. Uniform ion separation over most of the ring is achieved with a rotati…

Robust, self-consistent, closed-form tomography of quantum logic gates on a trapped ion qubit

Robin Blume-Kohout, John King Gamble, Erik Nielsen +3

We introduce and demonstrate experimentally: (1) a framework called "gate set tomography" (GST) for self-consistently characterizing an entire set of quantum logic gates on a black…

Photon collection from a trapped ion--cavity system

J. D. Sterk, L. Luo, T. A. Manning +2

We present the design and implementation of a trapped ion cavity QED system. A single ytterbium ion is confined by a micron-scale ion trap inside a 2 mm optical cavity. The ion is…
