    摘要: A method of performing a quantum computation process includes computing first Fourier coefficients of a first pulse function of a first control pulse and second Fourier coefficients of a second pulse function of a second control pulse based on a condition for closure of phase space trajectories and a condition for stabilization of phase-space closure, and computing a first linear combination of the computed first Fourier coefficients and a second linear combination of the computed second Fourier coefficients based on a condition for non-zero degree of entanglement, a condition for stabilization of the degree of entanglement, and a condition for minimized power, applying the first control pulse having the computed first pulse function to a first trapped ion of a pair of trapped ions, and the second control pulse having the computed second pulse function to a second trapped ion of a pair of trapped ions.

    摘要: A system and method is provided for use in the implementation and/or operation of quantum information processing (QIP) systems, and more particularly, to design or configure an optimal side-band cooling operation for trapped ions. A method is described that involves applying a first cooling operation on the trapped ion chain and subsequently applying a second cooling operation on the trapped ion chain that includes applying to each cooling ion in the trapped ion chain, as part of a side-band cooling pulse sequence, at least one analysis pulse followed by a corresponding batch with one or more side-band cooling pulses, wherein each analysis pulse is configured to determine a detuning and pulse duration of the one or more side-band cooling pulses of the corresponding batch. A quantum computer or QIP system is also described that enables the operation of the method described above.

    摘要: A shaped central electrode is described that is placed between a pair of radio frequency (RF) rails of a trap configured to hold atomic-based qubits to control aspects of the operation of the trap. In one aspect, the shaping may involve forming a pinched region in the middle of the central electrode. The middle of the central electrode may correspond to the middle portion of the trap. The shaping of the central electrode may be achieved in different ways and may involve varying the width of the central electrode. The trap may be fabricated on a glass die or substrate, which itself may be shaped or not. The trap may be fabricated by various methods such as, but not limited to, patterned metal layers on glass or silicon substrates. A quantum information processing (QIP) system is also described that may include a trap having any of these features.
