    Abstract: A method of using an ion trap quantum computer includes performing a first measurement of bright-state population of each ion in an ion chain, the each ion coupled to one of motional modes of the ion chain, while varying laser coupling frequency, computing mode frequency of the one of the motional mode based on the measured bright-state population in the first measurement, performing a second measurement of bright-state population of each ion in the ion chain, and computing coupling strength of the each ion and the one of the motional mode by fitting the bright-state population of the each ion measured in the second measurement to a value of the bright-state population computed based on the computed mode frequency of the one of the motional modes and non-zero temperature effect of the motional modes.

    Abstract: A method of performing a computation using a quantum computer includes generating a first laser pulse and a second laser pulse to cause entanglement interaction between 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 plurality of trapped ions having two frequency- separated states defining a qubit, and applying the generated first laser pulse to the first trapped ion and the generated second laser pulse to the second trapped ion. Generating the first laser pulse and the second laser pulse includes stabilizing the entanglement interaction between the first and second trapped ions against fluctuations in frequencies of collective motional modes of the plurality of trapped ions in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes various aspects of a practical implementation of multi-qubit gate architecture. A method is described that includes enabling ions in the ion trap having three energy levels, enabling a low-heating rate motional mode (e.g., zig-zag mode) at a ground state of motion with the ions in the ion trap; and performing a Cirac and Zoller (CZ) protocol using the low-heating rate motional mode as a motional state of the CZ protocol and one of the energy levels as an auxiliary state of the CZ protocol, where performing the CZ protocol includes implementing the multi-qubit gate. The method also includes performing one or more algorithms using the multi-qubit gate, including Grover's algorithm, Shor's factoring algorithm, quantum approximation optimization algorithm (QAOA), error correction algorithms, and quantum and Hamiltonian simulations. A corresponding system that supports the implementation of a multi-qubit gate architecture is also described.

    Abstract: A method of performing simultaneous entangling gate operations in a trapped-ion quantum computer includes selecting a gate duration value and a detuning frequency of pulses to be individually applied to a plurality of participating ions in a chain of trapped ions to simultaneously entangle a plurality of pairs of ions among the plurality of participating ions by one or more predetermined values of entanglement interaction, determining amplitudes of the pulses, based on the selected gate duration value, the selected detuning frequency, and the frequencies of the motional modes of the chain of trapped ions, generating the pulses having the determined amplitudes, and applying the generated pulses to the plurality of participating ions for the selected gate duration value. Each of the trapped ions in the chain has two frequency-separated states defining a qubit, and motional modes of the chain of trapped ions each have a distinct frequency.

    Abstract: The disclosure describes various aspects of techniques for optimal fault-tolerant implementations of controlled-Za gates and Heisenberg interactions. Improvements in the implementation of the controlled-Za gate can be made by using a clean ancilla and in-circuit measurement. Various examples are described that depend on whether the implementation is with or without measurement and feedforward. The implementation of the Heisenberg interaction can leverage the improved controlled-Za gate implementation. These implementations can cut down significantly the implementation costs associated with fault-tolerant quantum computing systems.
