Abstract

The development and theory of an experiment to investigate quantum computation with trapped calcium ions is described. The ion trap, laser and ion requirements are determined, and the parameters required for quantum logic operations as well as simple quantum factoring are described.

Progress Towards Using a Calcium Ion Trap to Perform Quantum Logic Operations

Mark S. Gulley, J.J. Gómez, Michael H. Holzscheiter +11 more

We briefly review the development and theory of an experiment to investigate quantum computation with trapped calcium ions. The ion trap, laser and ion requirements are determined, and the parameters required for simple quantum logic operations are described. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
