Quantum simulations with cold trapped ions

Thomas Monz, R. Blatt

Published Jun 1, 2017• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

Summary form only given. Strings of trapped ions are applied to investigate the dynamics and propagation of entanglement in an analogue fashion. With a small trapped-ion quantum computer a digital quantum simulation of a lattice gauge theory is performed.

Simulating lattice gauge theories within quantum technologies

Mari Carmen Bañuls, R. Blatt, Jacopo Catani +17 more

Abstract: Lattice gauge theories, which originated from particle physics in the context of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), provide an important intellectual stimulus to further develop quantum information technologies. While one long-term goal is the reliable quantum simulation of currently intractable aspects of QCD itself, lattice gauge theories also play an important role in condensed matter physics and in quantum information science. In this way, lattice gauge theories provide both motivation and a framework for interdisciplinary research towards the development of special purpose digital and analog quantum simulators, and ultimately of scalable universal quantum computers. In this manuscript, recent results and new tools from a quantum science approach to study lattice gauge theories are reviewed. Two new complementary approaches are discussed: first, tensor network methods are presented – a classical simulation approach – applied to the study of lattice gauge theories together with some results on Abelian and non-Abelian lattice gauge theories. Then, recent proposals for the implementation of lattice gauge theory quantum simulators in different quantum hardware are reported, e.g., trapped ions, Rydberg atoms, and superconducting circuits. Finally, the first proof-of-principle trapped ions experimental quantum simulations of the Schwinger model are reviewed. Graphical abstract:

Quantum Simulation of a Lattice Schwinger Model in a Chain of Trapped Ions

Philipp Hauke, D. Marcos, M. Dalmonte +1 more

Gauge theories such as quantum electrodynamics, in principle, give us a precise understanding of the interactions between subatomic particles, but often the calculations involved are beyond current computational capabilities. Quantum simulators based on experimental many-body systems could be a solution to this problem. Scientists exploit the current state-of-the-art experimental technology for manipulating cold trapped ions and propose a simulator of the one-dimensional version of quantum electrodynamics.
