Oxford Ann Arbor Innsbruck Quantum Computing with Trapped Atomic Ions APS March Meeting - Montréal: March 21, 2004 Brian King Dept. Physics and Astronomy, McMaster University http://physserv.mcmaster.ca/~kingb/King_B_h.html Garching Boulder
Outline: • building “quantum computers” • overview of ion trap quantum information processor • ion trapping • initialization and detection • single-qubit gates (internal) • coupling internal and external qubits • directions for the future...
Building Quantum Computers: Need: • qubits • two-level quantum systems • superpositions isolated from outside world • confined, characterizable, scalable • preparation • prepare computer in standard start state • read-out • logic gates • controllable interactions with outside world! • single- and two-qubits gate sufficient (not nec.!)
Why atomic qubits? • unparallelled persistence of quantum superposition • atomic clocks - accuracy, precision control over quantum states - internal and external • BEC, Fermi degeneracy (controllable), Mott insulator transition, quantum squeezing, quantum state engineering... atomic ions - demonstration of building blocks for scalable* quantum “computer” architecture * the Devil is in the details... * the Devil is in the details...

laser laser laser laser laser How it works... A quantum logic gate between 2 different ions: • prepare qubits using single-qubit gates • map qubit i state to motion with lasers • 2-qubit gate between motion and ion j • put information from motion “back into” ion i i j

average over 1 RF period: Quantum Motion: Dynamical RF trapping: full solution: Mathieu equation (same results...) same results: • quantum harmonic oscillator • wavepackets “breathe” at T

F(r) = (m/2q) (wr2 - wz2/2) (r2) • wr2 = q2V02/(2mWRFb4r4)b ~ 1 (geom.) • wr < WRF micromotion small, at different freq.
2” 0.2 mm 1 cm Ion Traps - initial micromachining: • DC: U0 ≈ 10 V • RF: V0 ≈ 750 V • ≈ 230 MHz wHO ≈ 10 MHz • pressure < 2×1011 torr • single ion lifetime: > 10 h. (cryogenic up to 100 days...)
multiple, cold ions: • “normal modes” - the string moves as one... N ions: N modes per direction centre of mass (COM) wx “stretch” 2 wx Ion Motion in Trap: • single ion: • like a mass on a spring
Dirty little secrets - motional heating: • after cooling to the ground state of motion, the ion heats back up! • timescale for motional manipulation ~ 10 s • |0 |1 in ~ 100 s (1998...) • motion only sensitive to noise spectrum near mot • fluctuating patch potentials? • RF-assisted tunnelling? • heating scales strongly with trap size ~ 10 4 • heating seems related to atom source shield trap!
