    摘要: A method and system is provided for operating a quantum information processing (QIP) system, including a dual-space, single-species architecture for trapped-ion quantum information processing. An exemplary method of operating quantum information processing (QIP) system includes applying a global optical beam to a plurality of dual-space, single-species (DSSS) trapped ions; and applying at least one Raman beam of a plurality of Raman beams to a DSSS trapped ion of the plurality of DSSS trapped ions to transition a qubit associated with the DSSS trapped ion from a ground state, a metastable state, or an optical state to a different state.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure may include a method and/or a system for identifying an ion chain having a plurality of trapped ions, selecting at least two non-consecutive trapped ions in the ion chain for implementing a qubit, applying at least a first Raman beam to shuttle at least one neighbor ion of the at least two non-consecutive trapped ions from a ground state to a metastable state, and applying at least a second Raman beam to one or more of the at least two non-consecutive trapped ions, after shuttling the at least one neighbor ion to the metastable state, to transition from a first manifold to a second manifold.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure describe devices trapping devices for use in quantum information processing (QIP) architectures, and more particularly, to the use and fabrication of a multi-layer ion trap on shaped glass or dielectric substrate. A method for fabricating the ion trap is described that includes preparing a back surface of the substrate, building a multi-layer stack on the top surface of the substrate, and completing the back etch to break through the substrate and etching through a metal and dielectric in the multi-layer stack to complete the formation of the ion trap. Shaping of the ion trap may also include trap narrowing features, wings, and/or undercutting. An ion trap fabricated using this approach may be used in a QIP system to trap atomic species provided through a hole in the back of the substrate for use as qubits in quantum operations and computations.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to parallel sideband cooling of multiple trapped-ion motional modes with deflectors (e.g., acousto-optic deflectors or AODs) in quantum information processing (QIP) systems. A method and a system are described in which for an ion chain a first group of ions (e.g., middle section of the ion chain) and a second group of ions (e.g., outer sections of the ion chain) are identified. The method and system include performing sideband cooling by applying, to the first group of ions, a first pair of optical beams using a first pair of AODs, and applying, to the second group of ions, a second pair of optical beams using a second pair of AODs. For each AOD, an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) may be placed upstream to provide frequency modulation for matching frequency differences for correct detuning as part of the sideband cooling operation.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure include methods and systems for modulating light sources including applying, through an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) disposed in series with an electro-optic modulator (EOM), a global optical beam to a plurality of dual-space, single-species (DSSS) trapped ions at a wavelength near a transition center and adjusting a drive tone of at least one of the EOM or the AOM to modulate the global beam to emit at approximately half of a S1/2 hyperfine frequency.
