Abstract

Atomic ions confined in segmented trap arrays provide a system for quantum information processing. We report on the execution of two simple quantum algorithms, quantum error correction and the quantum Fourier transform, using this implementation. The demonstration of these algorithms in a scalable system is a significant step towards the execution of useful, large-scale quantum algorithms.
