Abstract

A programmable quantum computer based on trapped ions interacting via magnetic gradient induced coupling (MAGIC) is used for reinforcement learning. Quantum information encoded in hyperfine qubits is preserved with 99.9994(+6-7)% fidelity during ion transport.

Complete Methods Set for Scalable Ion Trap Quantum Information Processing

Large-scale quantum information processors must be able to transport and maintain quantum information and repeatedly perform logical operations. Here, we show a combination of all of the fundamental elements required to perform scalable quantum computing through the use of qubits stored in the internal states of trapped atomic ions. We quantified the repeatability of a multiple-qubit operation and observed no loss of performance despite qubit transport over macroscopic distances. Key to these results is the use of different pairs of 9Be+ hyperfine states for robust qubit storage, readout, and gates, and simultaneous trapping of 24Mg+ "re-cooling" ions along with the qubit ions.

High-Fidelity Preservation of Quantum Information During Trapped-Ion Transport

Peter Kaufmann, Timm F. Gloger, Delia Kaufmann +2 more

A promising scheme for building scalable quantum simulators and computers is the synthesis of a scalable system using interconnected subsystems. A prerequisite for this approach is the ability to faithfully transfer quantum information between subsystems. With trapped atomic ions, this can be realized by transporting ions with quantum information encoded into their internal states. Here, we measure with high precision the fidelity of quantum information encoded into hyperfine states of a ^{171}Yb^{+} ion during ion transport in a microstructured Paul trap. Ramsey spectroscopy of the ion's internal state is interleaved with up to 4000 transport operations over a distance of 280 μm each taking 12.8 μs. We obtain a state fidelity of 99.9994( _{-7}^{+6})% per ion transport.
