Decoherence Bounds on Quantum Computation with Trapped Ions.

Using simple physical arguments we investigate the capabilities of a quantum computer based on cold trapped ions. From the limitations imposed on such a device by spontaneous decay, laser phase coherence, ion heating, and other sources of error, we derive a bound between the number of laser interactions and the number of ions that may be used. The largest number which may be factored using a va...

Universal quantum computation with two-level trapped ions

Although the initial proposal for ion trap quantum computation made use of an auxiliary internal level to perform logic between ions, this resource is not necessary in principle. Instead, one may perform such operations directly using sideband laser pulses, operating with an arbitrary ~sufficiently small! Lamb-Dicke parameter. We explore the potential of this technique, showing how to perform l...

Quantum computation with trapped ions in strongly detuned optical cavity

We propose a scheme to implement quantum phase gate for two Λ ions trapped in optical cavity. It is shown that quantum phase gate can be implemented by applying a laser addressing to a single ions in strongly detuned optical cavity. We further demonstrate that geometric quantum phase gate can be implemented by introducing a auxiliary ground state. In recent years, it is realized that quantum co...
