Sympathetic Cooling of Trapped Ions for Quantum Logic

Abstract

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 drawbacks of this proposal, and describe possible experimental implementations. We also present an overview of trapped-ion dynamics in this scheme.
