Error-Resilient Fast Entangling Gates for Scalable Ion-Trap Quantum Processors
Isabelle Savill-Brown, Zain Mehdi, Alexander K. Ratcliffe +5
Non-adiabatic two-qubit gate proposals for trapped-ion systems offer superior performance and flexibility over adiabatic schemes at the cost of increased laser control requirements…
High-speed and high-connectivity two-qubit gates in long chains of trapped ions
Isabelle Savill-Brown, Joseph J. Hope, Alexander K. Ratcliffe +5
We present a theoretical study of fast all-to-all entangling gates in trapped-ion quantum processors, based on impulsive excitation of spin-dependent motion with broadband laser pu…
Radial Fast Entangling Gates Under Micromotion in Trapped-Ion Quantum Computers
Phoebe Grosser, Monica Gutierrez Galan, Isabelle Savill-Brown +7
Micromotion in radio-frequency ion traps is generally considered detrimental for quantum logic gates, and is typically minimized in state-of-the-art experiments. However, as a dete…
Calculating the quantum Fisher information via the truncated Wigner method
Thakur G. M. Hiranandani, Joseph J. Hope, Simon A. Haine
In this work, we propose new methods of parameter estimation using stochastic sampling quantum phase-space simulations. We show that it is possible to compute the quantum Fisher in…
Multimode feedback cooling of the collective modes of a Bose-Einstein condensate
Ryan J. Thomas, Jordan A. McMahon, Zain Mehdi +5
We experimentally demonstrate cavity-free feedback cooling of the three lowest-lying collective modes of a Bose-Einstein condensate in a prolate harmonic trap. Using shadowgraph im…
Bayesian frequency estimation at the fundamental quantum limit
James W. Gardner, Tuvia Gefen, Ethan Payne +6
Searching for a weak signal at an unknown frequency is a canonical task in experiments probing fundamental physics such as gravitational-wave observatories and ultra-light dark mat…
