Experimental realization of entangled coherent states in two-dimensional harmonic oscillators of a trapped ion

Honggi Jeon, Jiyong Kang, Jaeun Kim +3 more

Entangled coherent states play pivotal roles in various fields such as quantum computation, quantum communication, and quantum sensing. We experimentally demonstrate the generation of entangled coherent states with the two-dimensional motion of a trapped ion system. Using Raman transitions with appropriate detunings, we simultaneously drive the red and blue sidebands of the two transverse axes of a single trapped ion and observe multi-periodic entanglement and disentanglement of its spin and two-dimensional motion. Then, by measuring the spin state, we herald entangled coherent states of the transverse motions of the trapped ion and observe the corresponding modulation in the parity of the phonon distribution of one of the harmonic oscillators. Lastly, we trap two ions in a linear chain and realize Mølmer-Sørensen gate using two-dimensional motion.

Quantum simulation of relativistic quantum physics with trapped ions

Christian F. Roos, R. Gerritsma, Gerhard Kirchmair +3 more

Coupling internal and vibrational states of a string of trapped ions has proven to be an effective way of entangling the ions' internal states. This mechanism can be used for high-fidelity quantum gates, QND measurements of spin correlations and creation of large entangled states. However, spin-motion interactions are also of interest for the purpose of quantum simulations where the motional state no longer acts as an auxiliary quantum system only. Here, we describe an experiment where a laser-cooled trapped ion is set to behave as a free relativistic quantum particle.

Entanglement and Tunable Spin-Spin Couplings between Trapped Ions Using Multiple Transverse Modes

Kihwan Kim, M.-S. Chang, Rajibul Islam +3 more

We demonstrate tunable spin-spin couplings between trapped atomic ions, mediated by laser forces on multiple transverse collective modes of motion. A sigma_{x}sigma_{x}-type Ising interaction is realized between quantum bits stored in the ground hyperfine clock states of ;{171}Yb;{+} ions. We demonstrate entangling gates and tailor the spin-spin couplings with two and three trapped ions. The use of closely spaced transverse modes provides a new class of interactions relevant to quantum computing and simulation with large collections of ions in a single crystal.
