    摘要: The disclosure describes various aspects of techniques for elliptical beam design using cylindrical optics that may be used in different applications, including in quantum information processing (QIP) systems. In an aspect, the disclosure describes an optical system having a first optical component having a first focal length, a second optical component having a second focal length and aligned with a first direction, and a third optical component having a third focal length and aligned with a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. The optical system is configured to receive one or more optical beams (e.g., circular or elliptical) and apply different magnifications in the first direction and the second direction to the one or more optical beams to image one or more elliptical Gaussian optical beams. A method for generating elliptical optical beams using a system as the one described above is also disclosed.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for using a parabolic Cassegrain-type reflector for ablation. For example, a system for ablation loading of a trap is described that includes a reflector having a hole aligned with a loading aperture of the trap, and an atomic source positioned at a focal point of the reflector, where one or more laser beams are reflected from a reflective front side of the reflector and focused on a surface of the atomic source to produce an atomic plume, and the atomic plume once produced passing through the hole in the reflector and through a loading aperture of the trap for loading the trap. A method for ablation loading of a trap within a chamber in a trapped ion system is also described.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for independently controlling an angle (e.g., change in tilt) and/or position (e.g., change in lateral position) of an optical beam. For example, an optical beam control system may include a telescope with rotatable mirrors and lenses configured to provide a path to an optical beam to produce an output optical beam, which in turn is made into parallel optical beams following a diffractive optical element. The optical beam control system may also include a detector system to a beam angle and/or a beam position of one of the parallel optical beams to generate feedback signal or signals to control a rotation of one or more of the mirrors in the telescope such as to adjust the beam angle, the beam position, or both of the parallel optical beams. The optical beam control system may be part of a quantum information processing (QIP) system.
