Abstract

Based on the scheme of hot trapped-ion quantum computation proposed by Sφrensen and Mφlmer, we construct a set of multi-mode excited logic gates on trapped ions, which may be operated on arbitrary even number of ions selected randomly from a string of ions trapped in a linear trap. The gate speed may be made faster than that of the corresponding one-mode excited logic gate by adjusting appropriately the detunings of driving lasers with respect to the sidebands of vibrational modes and can be demonstrated in current experimental techniques.

Quantum Logic Gates for Hot Ions without a Speed Limitation

Shi-Biao Zheng

We propose a scheme for realizing two-qubit quantum phase gates with trapped ions in thermal motion. In the scheme, the ions are simultaneously illuminated by a standing-wave laser tuned to the carrier, which virtually excites several vibrational modes. The scheme puts no limitations on the intensity of the laser field, allowing the production of a quantum logic gate for hot ions with an arbitrarily high speed as long as a laser field of sufficiently high intensity is available.

Phonon-mediated many-body quantum entanglement and logic gates in ion traps

Teng Liu, Pengfei Lu, Bi-Ying Hu +6 more

The high-fidelity multi-ion entangled states and quantum gates are the basis for trapped-ion quantum computing. Among the developed quantum gate schemes, Mølmer-Sørensen gate is a relatively mature experimental technique to realize multi-ion entanglement and quantum logic gates. In recent years, there have also been schemes to realize ultrafast quantum entanglement and quantum logic gates that operate outside the Lamb-Dicke regime by designing ultrafast laser pulse sequences. In such a many-body quantum system, these entanglement gates couple the spin states between ions by driving either the phonon energy level or the motional state of the ion chain. To improve the fidelity of quantum gates, the modulated laser pulses or the appropriately designed pulse sequences are applied to decouple the multi-mode motional states. In this review, we summarize and analyze the essential aspects of realizing these entanglement gates from both theoretical and experimental points of view. We also reveal that the basic physical process of realizing quantum gates is to utilize nonlinear interactions in non-equilibrium processes through driving the motional states of an ion chain with laser fields.

Quantum controlled-NOT gate with 'hot' trapped ions

Sara Schneider, Daniel F. V. James, Gerard J Milburn

We present a novel method of performing quantum logic gates in trapped ion quantum computers which does not require the ions to be cooled down to the ground state of their vibrational modes, thereby avoiding one of the principal experimental difficulties encountered in realizing this technology. Our scheme employs adiabatic passages and a phase shift conditional on the phonon number state.

Arbitrary-speed quantum gates within large ion crystals through minimum control of laser beams

Shi-Liang Zhu, C Monroe, L.-M Duan

We propose a scheme to implement arbitrary-speed quantum entangling gates on two trapped ions immersed in a large linear crystal of ions, with minimal control of laser beams. For gate speeds slower than the oscillation frequencies in the trap, a single appropriately detuned laser pulse is sufficient for high-fidelity gates. For gate speeds comparable to or faster than the local ion oscillation frequency, we discover a five-pulse protocol that exploits only the local phonon modes. This points to a method for efficiently scaling the ion trap quantum computer without shuttling ions.

High-speed geometric quantum phase gates for trapped ions in thermal motion

Shi‐Biao Zheng

We suggest a fast two-qubit quantum logic gates for trapped ions in thermal motion via geometric phase shifts. In the scheme, several vibrational modes are simultaneously displaced by driving the ions with a single off-resonant standing-wave laser. Under certain conditions, all the vibrational modes simultaneously return to the original points in the phase spaces along corresponding closed paths depending on the electronic states, producing a geometric phase gate. During the gate operation, the ions undergo no electronic transitions and the gate time might be shorter than the period of the center-of-mass vibration.
