Quantum Computing - Optical Forces for High-Fidelity Control of Long Ion Chains

Abstract

Fault-tolerant quantum computation promises speedups for certain problems with applications in security and simulations of materials structure and dynamics. However, millions of qubits will have to be coherently controlled for hours or days to achieve this promise. Trapped ions are a leading platform for large-scale quantum technologies, in large part due to the all-to-all connectivity mediated by motional modes that are shared between ions trapped in a shared potential. However, in practice these motional modes lead to extra errors in current systems and limit the size and power of current trapped-ion quantum technologies.
