Quantum Computation under Micromotion in a Planar Ion Crystal
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a scheme to realize scalable quantum computation in a planar ion crystal confined by a Paul trap. We show that the inevitable in-plane micromotion affects the gate design via three separate effects: renormalization of the equilibrium positions, coupling to the transverse motional modes, and amplitude modulation in the addressing beam. We demonstrate that all of these effects can be taken into account and high-fidelity gates are possible in the presence of micromotion. This proposal opens the prospect to realize large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computation within a single Paul trap.

Micromotion Reduction and Barium-Ytterbium Ion Chains
The purpose of this REU project was to compensate for micromotion to reduce ion temperature and to trap and retain barium-ytterbium ion chains. Having cold ion chains allows us to implement quantum gates, which is a necessary component to any quantum computer. Micromotion is a constant issue that frequently needs to be compensated for because the electric fields within our trap are prone to dri...
متن کاملCrystallization of Ca+ ions in a linear rf octupole ion trap
A laser-cooling experiment with Ca+ ions trapped in a linear rf octupole ion trap is presented. The phase transition of the laser-cooled Ca+ ions from the cloud to the crystal state is observed by an abrupt dip of the laser-induced fluorescence spectrum and indicates that mK temperatures are obtained. We have also performed molecular dynamics simulations under various conditions to confirm this...
متن کاملSuitability of linear quadrupole ion traps for large Coulomb crystals
Growing and studying large Coulomb crystals, composed of tens to hundreds of thousands of ions, in linear quadrupole ion traps presents new challenges for trap implementation. We consider several trap designs, first comparing the total driven micromotion amplitude as a function of location within the trapping volume; total micromotion is an important point of comparison since it can limit cryst...

Strain distributions around Ge quantum dots embedded in a Si matrix are computed by means of classical molecular dynamics simulations using the molecular dynamics code IMD. The Tersoff potential is employed in order to model covalent bonds. Two crystal lattice structures are considered, the cubic and hexagonal diamond structure. The distributions of the planar strain are studied for a large num...
