Method of quantum computation with ``hot'' trapped ions

Abstract

We present a novel method of performing quantum logic gates in trapped ion quantum computers which does not require the ions to be cooled down to their vibrational center of mass (CM) mode ground state. Our scheme employs adiabatic passages and the conditional phase shift first investigated by D'Helon and Milburn (C.~D'Helon and G.J.~Milburn, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 54}, 5141 (1996)).

Quantum controlled-NOT gate with 'hot' trapped ions

Sara Schneider, Daniel F. V. James, Gerard J Milburn

We present a novel method of performing quantum logic gates in trapped ion quantum computers which does not require the ions to be cooled down to the ground state of their vibrational modes, thereby avoiding one of the principal experimental difficulties encountered in realizing this technology. Our scheme employs adiabatic passages and a phase shift conditional on the phonon number state.

Quantum Computation with “Hot” Trapped Ions

Daniel F. V. James, Sara Schneider, Gerard J Milburn

We describe two methods that have been proposed to circumvent the problem of heating by external electromagnetic fields in ion trap quantum computers. Firstly the higher order modes of ion oscillation (i. e. modes other than the center-of-mass mode) have much slower heating rates, and can therefore be employed as a reliable quantum information bus. Secondly we discuss a recently proposed method combining adiabatic passage and a number-state dependent phase shift which allows quantum gates to be performed using the center-of-mass mode as the information bus, regardless of its initial state. 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.

Schemes of Quantum Computations with Trapped Ions

J. F. Poyatos, J. I. Cirac, P. Zoller

The purpose of this article is to review two complementary schemes for quantum computation with trapped ions. We initially discuss the first proposal of quantum computations with cold trapped ions (J. I. Cirac and P. Zoller; Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 4091, 1995) which requires, prior to any computation, laser cooling to the motional ground state. This proposal is closely related to the physics of generating and manipulating N-particles entangled states in both ion traps and high-Q cavities (cavity quantum electrodynamics). The second scheme is that of quantum computations with hot trapped ions (J.F. Poyatos, J.I. Cirac and P. Zoller; Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 1322, 1998) which works at finite temperature and resembles physical ideas found in atom interferometry.

Quantum Gates with “Hot” Trapped Ions

J. F. Poyatos, J. I. Cirac, P. Zoller

We propose a scheme to perform a fundamental two-qubit gate between two trapped ions using ideas from atom interferometry. As opposed to the scheme considered by J. I. Cirac and P. Zoller, [Phys. Rev. Lett. 74, 4091 (1995)], it does not require laser cooling to the motional ground state.

Universal quantum computation with trapped ions in thermal motion by adiabatic passage

Xun‐Li Feng, Chunfeng Wu, C. H. Lai +1 more

We propose a universal quantum computation scheme for trapped ions in thermal motion via the technique of adiabatic passage, which incorporates the advantages of both the adiabatic passage and the model of trapped ions in thermal motion. Our scheme is immune from the decoherence due to spontaneous emission from excited states as the system in our scheme evolves along a dark state. In our scheme the vibrational degrees of freedom are not required to be cooled to their ground states because they are only virtually excited. It is shown that the fidelity of the resultant gate operation is still high even when the magnitude of the effective Rabi frequency moderately deviates from the desired value.

Quantum computing with trapped ions

Christopher R. Monroe, Wayne M. Itano, D. Kielpinski +5 more

Summary form only given. We have laser-cooled all modes of two ions and select modes of three ions to the ground state, thereby paving the way for subsequent quantum logic operations. We have also used quantum logic on two ions to engineer the Bell entangled states, representing the first source of entanglement not relying on a selection process. This type of deterministic entanglement is a crucial requirement for large-scale quantum computation.
