Segmental pulse shaping Answer: We don’t need 2N+1, but a few!! Reason: Only local motion is significant. Pulse shape Infidelity TP G.-D. Lin, S.-L. Zhu, R. Islam, K. Kim, M.-S. Chang, S. Korenblit, C. Monroe, L.-M. Duan arXiv:0901.0579
Doppler cooling is sufficient! Doppler cooling is sufficient! Temperature and imperfection 1. Infidelity due to axial thermal motion (at Doppler temperature) Ion spacing ~ 10 μm Width of Gaussian beam ~ 4 μm Cross-talk prob. ~ 2. Infidelity due to anharmonicity of the ion vibration 3. Infidelity due to transverse thermal motion (out of LD-limit correction) G.-D. Lin, S.-L. Zhu, R. Islam, K. Kim, M.-S. Chang, S. Korenblit, C. Monroe, L.-M. Duan arXiv:0901.0579
Summary • An an-harmonic axial ion trap leads to large uniform ion chains - with translational symmetry - structurally stable • Use of transverse phonon modes, eliminate the requirement of sideband cooling • Simple laser pulse control leads to high-fidelity gates in any large ion crystal • Complexity of quantum gate does NOT increase with the size of the system. • Multiple gates can be performed in parallel at different locations of the same ion chain.
