Single-frequency 571 nm VECSEL for photoionization of magnesium

June 3, 2016
Author(s)
Shaun C. Burd, Tomi Leinonen, Jussi-Pekka Penttinen, David T. Allcock, Daniel H. Slichter, Raghavendra Srinivas, Andrew C. Wilson, Micrea Guina, Dietrich G. Leibfried
We report the development of an intracavity-frequency-doubled VECSEL emitting at 571 nm for photoionization of magnesium. The laser employs a V-cavity geometry with a gain chip at the end of one cavity arm and a lithium triborate (LBO) crystal for second

Multi-element logic gates for trapped-ion qubits

December 17, 2015
Author(s)
Ting Rei Tan, John P. Gaebler, Yiheng Lin, Yong Wan, Ryan S. Bowler, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Precision control over hybrid physical systems at the quantum level is of general importance in physics. For trapped-ions, a hybrid system formed of different species introduces extra degrees of freedom that can be exploited to expand and refine the

Optically pumped semiconductor lasers for atomic and molecular physics

February 7, 2015
Author(s)
Dietrich G. Leibfried, Shaun Burd, Andrew C. Wilson, David J. Wineland
Experiments in atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) physics rely on lasers at many different wavelengths and with varying requirements on spectral linewidth, power and intensity stability. Optically pumped semiconductor lasers (OPSLs), when combined with

Fast transport of mixed-species ion chains within a Paul trap

November 6, 2014
Author(s)
Ryan S. Bowler, M. Palmer, John P. Gaebler, Dietrich G. Leibfried, J. G. Ceremuga
We investigate the dynamics of mixed-species ion crystals during transport between spatially distinct locations in a linear Paul trap in the diabatic regime. In a general mixed-species crystal, all degrees of freedom along the direction of transport are

Single-Mode Optical Fiber For High-Power, Low-Loss UV Transmission

August 8, 2014
Author(s)
Daniel H. Slichter, Yves Colombe, Andrew C. Wilson, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
We report large-mode-area solid-core photonic crystal fibers made from fused silica which resist UV solarization even at relatively high optical powers. Using a process of hydrogen loading and UV irradiation of the fibers, we demonstrate stable single-mode

Tunable spin-spin interactions and entanglement of ions in separate controlled potential wells

August 7, 2014
Author(s)
Andrew C. Wilson, Yves Colombe, K. R. Brown, Emanuel H. Knill, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Inspired by the ideas of Richard Feynman, 1 David Deutsch, 2 Seth Lloyd 3 and others, researchers in the field of quantum information processing and simulation seek to harness the quantum-mechanical properties of well-controlled laboratory systems to

Dissipative production of a maximally entangled steady state of two quantum bits

December 19, 2013
Author(s)
John P. Gaebler, Yiheng Lin, Florentin Reiter, Ting Rei Tan, Ryan S. Bowler, Anders Sorensen, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Entangled states are a key resource in fundamental quantum physics, quantum cryptography, and quantum computation [1]. To date, controlled unitary interactions applied to a quantum system, so-called "quantum gates'', have been the most widely used method

Surface science for improved ion traps

September 30, 2013
Author(s)
David P. Pappas, Dustin Hite, Andrew C. Wilson, David T. Allcock, David J. Wineland, Dietrich Leibfried, Yves Colombe
Trapped ions are sensitive to electric-field noise from trap-electrode surfaces. This noise has been an obstacle to progress in trapped-ion quantum information processing (QIP) experiments for more than a decade. It causes motional heating of the ions, and

Micro-fabricated stylus ion trap

August 7, 2013
Author(s)
Kyle S. McKay, Christian L. Arrington, Ehren D. Baca, Jonathan J. Coleman, Yves Colombe, Patrick Finnegan, Dustin A. Hite, Andrew E. Hollowell, Robert Jordens, John D. Jost, Dietrich G. Leibfried, Adam M. Rowen, Ulrich J. Warring, David J. Wineland, David P. Pappas, Andrew C. Wilson
An electroformed, three-dimensional stylus Paul trap was designed to confine a single atomic ion for use as a sensor to probe the electric-field noise of proximate surfaces. The trap was microfabricated with the UV-LIGA technique to reduce the distance of

Demonstration of a dressed-state phase gate for trapped ions

June 28, 2013
Author(s)
Ting Rei Tan, John P. Gaebler, Ryan S. Bowler, Yiheng Lin, John D. Jost, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
We demonstrate a trapped ion entangling gate scheme proposed by Bermudez et~al [Phys. Rev. A 85, 040302 (2012)]. Simultaneous excitation of a strong carrier and a single sideband transition enables deterministic creation of entangled states. The method

Individual Ion Addressing with Microwave Field Gradients

April 26, 2013
Author(s)
Ulrich J. Warring, C. Ospelkaus, Yves Colombe, Robert Jordens, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
Individual-qubit addressing is a prerequisite for many instances of quantum information processing. We present this capability on trapped ions with microwave near-fields delivered by electrode structures integrated into a microfabricated surface-electrode

Techniques for microwave near-field quantum control of trapped ions

January 31, 2013
Author(s)
Ulrich J. Warring, C. Ospelkaus, Yves Colombe, Kenton R. Brown, Jason Amini, M Carsjens, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland
In Ospelkaus et al. [Nature 476, 181 (2011)] a microwave near-field quantum control of spin and motional degrees of freedom of one and two 25Mg+ ions enabled two-ion entanglement. In this report, we extend on the description of the experimental setup and
