Development of Methods for Continuous-Variable Quantum Computing with Trapped-Ion
Abstract
Most quantum computing research to date has focused on the qubit paradigm, where two-level quantum systems are prepared, manipulated, and measured in order to implement quantum operations that are part of algorithmic realizations. While this approach has been used to demonstrate many incipient quantum information processing (QIP) systems, there are drawbacks to limiting QIP to two-level systems. Utilizing multiple level systems may provide some efficiency of resources, such that limitations of the current era of few-qubit,shallow depth circuits can be surpassed in order to attack larger problems and lay the foundation for future quantum computers.
