Dissipative preparation of W states in trapped ion systems

July 2, 2021
Author(s)
Daniel Cole, Jenny Wu, Stephen Erickson, Panyu Hou, Andrew C. Wilson, Dietrich Leibfried, Florentin Reiter
We present protocols for dissipative entanglement of three trapped-ion qubits, and we discuss in detail a scheme that uses sympathetic cooling as the dissipation mechanism. This scheme relies on tailored destructive interference to generate one of six

Quantum harmonic oscillator spectrum analyzers

June 25, 2021
Author(s)
Jonas Keller, Panyu Hou, Katherine C. McCormick, Daniel Cole, Stephen Erickson, Jenny Wu, Andrew C. Wilson, Dietrich Leibfried
Characterization and suppression of noise are essential for the control of harmonic oscillators in the quantum regime. We measure the noise spectrum of a quantum harmonic oscillator from low frequency to near the oscillator resonance by sensing its

Ion transport and reordering in a two-dimensional trap array

May 19, 2020
Author(s)
Yong Wan, Robert Jordens, Stephen Erickson, Jenny Wu, Ryan S. Bowler, Ting R. Tan, Panyu Hou, Andrew C. Wilson, Dietrich Leibfried
Scaling quantum information processors is a challenging task, requiring manipulation of a large number of qubits with high fidelity and a high degree of connectivity. For trapped ions, this could be realized in a two-dimensional array of interconnected

Quantum Logic Spectroscopy with Ions in Thermal Motion

April 16, 2020
Author(s)
Daniel Kienzler, Yong Wan, Stephen Erickson, Jenny Wu, Andrew C. Wilson, David J. Wineland, Dietrich Leibfried
A mixed-species geometric phase gate has been proposed for implementing quantum logic spectroscopy on trapped ions, which combines probe and information transfer from the spectroscopy to the logic ion in a single pulse. We experimentally realize this

Quantum gate teleportation between separated zones of a trapped-ion processor

May 31, 2019
Author(s)
Yong Wan, Daniel Kienzler, Stephen D. Erickson, Karl H. Mayer, Ting R. Tan, Jenny J. Wu, Hilma H. Macedo De Vasconcelos, Scott C. Glancy, Emanuel H. Knill, David J. Wineland, Andrew C. Wilson, Dietrich G. Leibfried
Large-scale quantum computers will inevitably require quantum gate operations between widely separated qubits, even within a single quantum information processing device. Nearly two decades ago, Gottesman and Chuang proposed a method for implementing such

Chained Bell inequality experiment with high-efficiency measurements

March 28, 2017
Author(s)
Ting Rei Tan, Stephen D. Erickson, Peter L. Bierhorst, Daniel Kienzler, Scott C. Glancy, Emanuel H. Knill, Dietrich G. Leibfried, David J. Wineland, Yong Wan
We report correlation measurements on two 9Be+ ions that violate a chained Bell inequality obeyed by any local-realistic theory. The correlations can be modeled as derived from a mixture of a local-realistic probabilistic distribution and a distribution
