    摘要: Some embodiments in the present disclosure relate to an apparatus and methods to excite a trapped ion. A first laser beam and a second laser beam pass through at least one common lens of an objective. The two laser beams are focused by said objective at the position of the trapped ion. A moving standing wave is generated at the position of the trapped ion, which induces a force on the trapped ion. Two ions may be entangled by generating such moving standing wave at the respective positions of both of said ions.

    摘要: Provided is a method of reducing the magnitude of a quasi-static electric dipole field at the null position of an oscillating electric quadrupole field of an ion trap. The method includes trapping at least one ion in a trapping electric field. The trapping electric field includes an electric field amplitude; using an interferometry sequence including applying a first laser pulse when the trapping electric field amplitude includes a first trapping electric field amplitude; applying a second laser pulse when the trapping electric field amplitude includes a second trapping electric field amplitude different from the first electric field amplitude; and measuring a state of the ion; repeating the interferometry sequence in order to obtain a plurality of measurements of the state of the ion; determining a probability that the trapped ion changes state; and adjusting the trapping electric field based on the determined probability.

    摘要: A method includes providing a first quantum state at a first node, transforming the first quantum state to obtain a first plurality of transformed quantum states, and measuring the first plurality of transformed quantum states to obtain a first set of measurement results. The method further includes providing a second quantum state at a second node, transforming the second quantum state to obtain a second plurality of transformed quantum states, the second plurality of unitary operations corresponding to the first plurality of unitary operations, and measuring the second plurality of transformed quantum states to obtain a second set of measurement results. A similarity measure between the first quantum state and the second quantum state is determined in terms of the first set of measurement results and the second set of measurement results, the similarity measure including a trace product of the first quantum state and the second quantum state.
