    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for optical alignment using a reflective dove prism. For example, a system for optical alignment is described that includes an assembly having a housing with three separate, reflecting structures positioned to produce three reflections of one or more laser beams or one or more images, and a controller configured to control a rotation of the assembly about a pivot point to produce a tilt in orientation of the one or more lasers beams or the one or more images that is twice an angle of rotation of the assembly. Another system and a method for aligning laser beams using a housing with three separate, reflecting structures in a trapped ion quantum information processing (QIP) system are also described.

    Abstract: A method of performing a computational process using a quantum computer includes generating a laser pulse sequence comprising a plurality of laser pulse segments used to perform an entangling gate operation on a first trapped ion and a second trapped ion of a plurality of trapped ions that are aligned in a first direction, each of the trapped ions having two frequency-separated states defining a qubit, and applying the generated laser pulse sequence to the first and second trapped ions. Each of the plurality of laser pulse segments has a pulse shape with ramps formed using a spline at a start and an end of each of the plurality of laser pulse segments.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to systems and methods for use in the implementation and/or operation of quantum information processing (QIP) systems, and more particularly, to techniques for removing or correcting for translation errors between a programmed strength and an applied strength of quantum gates. A method is described that includes determining, for each quantum gate in a quantum operation, a non-linearity between an applied strength of a laser beam used for the respective quantum gate and a programmed strength intended to be applied by the laser beam for the respective quantum gate. The method further includes linearizing the non-linearity for each quantum gate and storing linearization information in memory. Moreover, the method includes applying the linearization information to correct for the non-linearity when implementing each quantum gate as part of the quantum operation. A system is also described that is configured to implement the method described above.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for controlling quantum states of ions in an ion chain for a quantum operation. For example, a method is described that includes providing, from a first direction, a global optical beam to the ions in the ion chain, and providing, from a second direction different from the first direction, to each ion in a subset of the ions in the ion chain, a respective addressing optical beam. The method further includes dynamically controlling each of the addressing optical beams being provided by using a respective channel in a multi-channel acousto-optic modulator (AOM) to implement, with the ion chain, one or more quantum gates in a sequence of quantum gates of the quantum operation. Aspects of a quantum information processing (QIP) system that includes the multi-channel AOM for performing the method are also described.
