A Study on Fast Gates for Large-Scale Quantum Simulation with Trapped Ions

Richard L. Taylor, C. D. Bentley, Julen Simon Pedernales +4 more

Abstract Large-scale digital quantum simulations require thousands of fundamental entangling gates to construct the simulated dynamics. Despite success in a variety of small-scale simulations, quantum information processing platforms have hitherto failed to demonstrate the combination of precise control and scalability required to systematically outmatch classical simulators. We analyse how fast gates could enable trapped-ion quantum processors to achieve the requisite scalability to outperform classical computers without error correction. We analyze the performance of a large-scale digital simulator, and find that fidelity of around 70% is realizable for π -pulse infidelities below 10 −5 in traps subject to realistic rates of heating and dephasing. This scalability relies on fast gates: entangling gates faster than the trap period.

Efficient quantum simulation of fermionic and bosonic models in trapped ions

We analyze the efficiency of quantum simulations of fermionic and bosonic models in trapped ions. In particular, we study the optimal time of entangling gates and the required number of total elementary gates. Furthermore, we exemplify these estimations in the light of quantum simulations of quantum field theories, condensed-matter physics, and quantum chemistry. Finally, we show that trapped-ion technologies are a suitable platform for implementing quantum simulations involving interacting fermionic and bosonic modes, paving the way for overcoming classical computers in the near future.

Fast Gates Allow Large-Scale Quantum Simulation with Trapped Ions

Richard Taylor, C. D. Bentley, Julen Simon Pedernales +4 more

Ion traps are a promising platform for the implementation of various quantum technologies, particularly quantum simulation. Unfortunately, the entangling gates required for digital quantum simulations rely on the virtual excitation of the motional modes of the trap, making the necessary operations too slow with respect to the system coherence times. In this work, we propose a method of implementing a crucial multiqubit gate, through a scheme of fast two-qubit gates, able to perform in shorter time and with more precision than existing alternatives. Its implementation would enable digital quantum simulations to outperform classical computers without error correction.
