    Abstract: 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.

    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 describe techniques for fast cooling of ion motion in a long chain using local motional modes. For example, a method is described for cooling down ions in a chain of ions that includes performing a cooling down sequence in which phonons are removed from the ions in the chain of ions by exciting and de-exciting local motional modes associated with individual ions, wherein sideband transitions that are part of the cooling down sequence are driven faster for the local motional modes than for collective motional modes for the same chain of ions; and completing the cooling down sequence when the local motional modes reach a ground state. A corresponding system and computer-readable storage medium for fast cooling of ion motion in a long chain using local motional modes are also described.

    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 a fast single-mode spectroscopy technique that may be used in trapped-ion QIP systems. A method is described that includes performing a first measurement scan (full scan) across all motional modes of an ion chain in a trap followed by a second measurement scan on a single motional mode of the motional modes (single-mode scan). The second measurement scan determines a frequency shift associated with the single motional mode, which is applied to adjust the frequencies of all the motional modes. An implementation of two-qubit gates for quantum computations is based on the adjusted frequencies. A quantum computer or QIP system is also described that is configured to implement and perform the method described above.

    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 calibrate compact optical imaging systems that use single atom imaging. A QIP system includes an optical system including an optical relay that receives a beam of light, a housing, and at least one aperture plate. The optical relay includes at least one lens, at least one mirror to fold the beam of light, and a camera sensor to capture at least one image of the beam of light. The housing accommodates the optical relay and includes a slot mechanically referenced to at least one of the lens(es) and the mirror(s). The aperture plate is receivable in the slot. The aperture plate includes an aperture alignable with an optical axis of the optical relay when the aperture plate is received in the slot.

    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.
