    Abstract: The disclosure describes various techniques to control of small angle Mølmer-Sørensen (MS) gates and to handle asymmetric errors. A technique is described for handling asymmetric errors in quantum information processing (QIP) systems. An exemplary method includes implementing a quantum circuit in the QIP system that has first and second qubit lines, with a first qubit state having a greater measurement error than a second qubit state; swapping the roles of the first and second qubit states at a quantum circuit level in response to at least one of the first qubit line and the second qubit line being expected to be at the first qubit state at a measurement; and enabling a quantum simulation using the quantum circuit with the first and second qubit states reassigned in at least one of the first qubit line and the second qubit line after the swapping of the respective roles.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes the implementation of automated techniques for optimizing quantum circuits of the size and type expected in quantum computations that outperform classical computers. The disclosure shows how to handle continuous gate parameters and report a collection of fast algorithms capable of optimizing large-scale-scale quantum circuits. For the suite of benchmarks considered, the techniques described obtain substantial reductions in gate counts. In particular, the techniques in this disclosure provide better optimization in significantly less time than previous approaches, while making minimal structural changes so as to preserve the basic layout of the underlying quantum algorithms. The results provided by these techniques help bridge the gap between computations that can be run on existing quantum computing hardware and more advanced computations that are more challenging to implement in quantum computing hardware but are the ones that are expected to outperform what can be achieved with classical computers.

    Abstract: A method of performing an entangling operation between two trapped ions in a quantum computer includes selecting a gate duration value of a pulse to be applied to a first ion and a second ion in a chain of trapped ions, determining one or more tones of the pulse, each tone comprising an amplitude value and a detuning frequency value, based on the selected gate duration value and frequencies of the motional modes of the chain of trapped ions, generating the pulse having the one or more tones, each tone comprising the determined amplitude and the determined detuning frequency values, and applying the generated pulse to the first and second ions for the gate duration value. Each of the trapped ions has two frequency-separated states defining a qubit, and motional modes of the chain of trapped ions each have a distinct frequency.
