Motional squeezing for trapped ion transport and separation

R. T. Sutherland, S. C. Burd, D. H. Slichter +2

Transport, separation, and merging of trapped ion crystals are essential operations for most large-scale quantum computing architectures. In this work, we develop a theoretical fra…

A genetic algorithm approach to reconstructing spectral content from filtered x-ray diode array spectrometers

G. E. Kemp, M. S. Rubery, C. D. Harris +6

Filtered diode array spectrometers are routinely employed to infer the temporal evolution of spectral power from x-ray sources, but uniquely extracting spectral content from a fini…

Simulating nonnative cubic interactions on noisy quantum machines

Yuan Shi, Alessandro R. Castelli, Xian Wu +8

As a milestone for general-purpose computing machines, we demonstrate that quantum processors can be programmed to efficiently simulate dynamics that are not native to the hardware…

Laser-free trapped-ion entangling gates with simultaneous insensitivity to qubit and motional decoherence

R. T. Sutherland, R. Srinivas, S. C. Burd +7

The dominant error sources for state-of-the-art laser-free trapped-ion entangling gates are decoherence of the qubit state and the ion motion. The effect of these decoherence mecha…

Versatile laser-free trapped-ion entangling gates

R. T. Sutherland, R. Srinivas, S. C. Burd +6

We present a general theory for laser-free entangling gates with trapped-ion hyperfine qubits, using either static or oscillating magnetic-field gradients combined with a pair of u…

Observation and control of shock waves in individual nanoplasmas

Daniel D. Hickstein, Franklin Dollar, Jim A. Gaffney +11

In a novel experiment that images the momentum distribution of individual, isolated 100-nm-scale plasmas, we make the first experimental observation of shock waves in nanoplasmas.…

Kinematic Constraints on Absorption of Ultraintense Laser Light

M. C. Levy, S. C. Wilks, M. Tabak +2

We derive upper and lower bounds on the absorption of ultraintense laser light by solids as a function of fundamental laser and plasma parameters. These limits emerge naturally fro…

Removing Orbital Debris with Lasers

Claude R. Phipps, Kevin L. Baker, Brian Bradford +10

Orbital debris in low Earth orbit (LEO) are now sufficiently dense that the use of LEO space is threatened by runaway collisional cascading. A problem predicted more than thirty ye…

Momentum Transfer by Laser Ablation of Irregularly Shaped Space Debris

Duane A. Liedahl, Stephen B. Libby, Alexander Rubenchik

Proposals for ground-based laser remediation of space debris rely on the creation of appropriately directed ablation-driven impulses to either divert the fragment or drive it into…
