Ion Trap Quantum Computer with Bichromatic Light

Anders Søndberg Sørensen, Klaus Mølmer

In the ion trap quantum computer, quantum bits are represented by the internal state of the trapped ions, and the collective vibrations of the ions are exploited for the coherent manipulation of the state of several bits. We have developed a method to perform gates on different ions by illuminating the ions with bichromatic light. Our gates are independent of the motional state of the ions and they may be applied to ions in any state or, e.g., thermal mixture of vibrational states. Moreover, our proposal allows the production of multiparticle entangled states even in situations without experimental access to the individual ions in the trap. Maximally entangled states of any number of ions are produced by simply illuminating all ions with the same beams of bichromatic light.

Dark pair coherent states of the motion of a trapped ion

Shih-Chuan Gou, Jörg Steinbach, P. L. Knight

We propose a scheme for generating vibrational pair coherent states of the motion of an ion in a two-dimensional trap. In our scheme, the trapped ion is excited bichromatically by three laser beams along different directions in the $X\ensuremath{-}Y$ plane of the ion trap. We show that if the initial vibrational state is given by a two-mode Fock state, the final steady state, indicated by the extinction of the fluorescence emitted by the ion, is a pure state. The motional state of the ion in the equilibrium realizes that of the highly correlated pair coherent state.

Generation of Multicomponent Motional Coherent and Squeezed Coherent States of N Trapped Ions by a Dispersive Interaction

Wen‐Xing Yang, Jiahua Li, Jin Li-Xia +1 more

Following the recent proposal by Solano E et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 (2001) 060402] a procedure is proposed to generate arbitrary discrete multicomponent motional coherent and squeezed coherent states of N trapped ions by additionally using a dispersive bichromatic interaction in a long-living and fast way. In this procedure, two lasers in the Raman configuration are tuned quasiresonant and resonant with N two-level ions under different conditions, respectively. Furthermore, we show how the idea can be used for the generation of two-mode SU(2) Schrödinger cat states for the vibrational motion of a single ion trapped in a two-dimensional harmonic potential.
