Entanglement of Four Particles

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
C A. Sackett, D Kielpinski, B E. King, Christopher Langer, V Meyer, C J. Myatt, M A. Rowe, Q A. Turchette, Wayne M. Itano, David J. Wineland, C Monroe
Quantum mechanics allows for many-particle wavefunctions that cannot be factorized into a product of single-particle wavefunctions, even when the constituent particles are entirely distinct. Such ‘entangled’ states explicitly demonstrate the non-local

Scalable Entanglement of Trapped Ions

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
C Monroe, Q A. Turchette, D Kielpinski, B E. King, V Meyer, Wayne M. Itano, David J. Wineland, C J. Myatt, M A. Rowe, Christopher Langer, C A. Sackett
Entangled states are both a crucial component in quantum computers, and of great interest in their own right, highlighting the inherent nonlocality of quantum mechanics. As part of the drive toward larger entangled states for quantum computing, we have

Sympathetic Cooling of Trapped Ions for Quantum Logic

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
D Kielpinski, B E. King, C J. Myatt, C A. Sackett, Q A. Turchette, Wayne M. Itano, C Monroe, David J. Wineland
One limit to the fidelity of quantum logic operations on trapped ions arises from heating of the ions’ collective modes of motion. Sympathetic cooling of the ions during the logic operations may eliminate this source of errors. We discuss the benefits and

Quantum Computation, Spectroscopy of Trapped Ions, and Schrodinger Cat

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
David J. Wineland, C Monroe, Wayne M. Itano, D Kielpinski, B E. King, C J. Myatt
We summarize e orts at NIST to implement quantum computation using trapped ions, based on a scheme proposed by J.I. Cirac and P. Zoller (Innsbruck University). The use of quantum logic to create entangled states, which can maximize the quantum-limited

Trapped Ions, Entanglement, and Quantum Computing

May 1, 1998
Author(s)
C J. Myatt, B E. King, D Kielpinski, Dietrich Leibfried, C S. Turchette, Chris S. Wood, Wayne M. Itano, C Monroe, David J. Wineland
A miniature, elliptical ring rf (Paul) ion trap has been used in recent experiments toward realizing a quantum computer in a trapped ion system. With the combination fo small spatial dimensions and high rf drive potentials, around 500 V amplitude, we have

Coherent Quantum State Manipulation of Trapped Atomic Ions

January 1, 1998
Author(s)
David J. Wineland, C Monroe, D M. Meekhof, B E. King, Dietrich G. Leibfried, Wayne M. Itano, James C. Bergquist, D J. Berkeland, John J. Bollinger, J D. Miller
A single, laser-cooled, trapped 9Be+ ion is used to investigate methods of coherent quantum-state synthesis. We create and characterize nonclassical states of motion including "Schrödinger- cat" states. A fundamental quantum logic gate is realized using

Experimental Issues in Coherent Quantum-State Manipulation of Trapped Atomic Ions,

January 1, 1998
Author(s)
David J. Wineland, C Monroe, Wayne M. Itano, Dietrich G. Leibfried, B E. King, D M. Meekhof
Methods for, and limitations to, the generation of entangled states of trapped atomic ions are examined. As much as possible, state manipulations are described in terms of quantum logic operations since the conditional dynamics implicit in quantum logic is
