The central challenge of quantum computing is implementing high-fidelity quantum gates at scale. However, many existing approaches to qubit control suffer from a scale-performance trade-off, impeding progress towards the creation of useful…
To achieve the entangling gate fidelity above the quantum error correction threshold, it is critical to suppress errors due to experimental imperfection. We consider the M\o lmer-S\o rensen gates in trapped-ion systems, and develop a…
There is currently a significant need for robust and efficient methods for characterizing quantum devices. While there has been significant progress in this direction, there remains a crucial need to precisely determine the strength and…
Most near-term quantum information processing devices will not be capable of implementing quantum error correction and the associated logical quantum gate set. Instead, quantum circuits will be implemented directly using the physical native…
Non-adiabatic two-qubit gate proposals for trapped-ion systems offer superior performance and flexibility over adiabatic schemes at the cost of increased laser control requirements. Existing fast gate schemes are limited by single-qubit…
We report the quantum process tomography of a M$\o$lmer-S$\o$rensen entangling gate. The tomographic protocol relies on a single discriminatory transition, exploiting excess micromotion in the trap to realize all operations required to…
Efficiently entangling pairs of qubits is essential to fully harness the power of quantum computing. Here, we devise an exact protocol that simultaneously entangles arbitrary pairs of qubits on a trapped-ion quantum computer. The protocol…
The realization of high fidelity quantum gates in a multi-qubit system, with a typical target set at 99.9%, is a critical requirement for the implementation of fault-tolerant quantum computation. To reach this level of fidelity, one needs…
To achieve scalable quantum computing, improving entangling-gate fidelity and its implementation-efficiency are of utmost importance. We present here a linear method to construct provably power-optimal entangling gates on an arbitrary pair…
Quantum kernel methods leverage a kernel function computed by embedding input information into the Hilbert space of a quantum system. However, large Hilbert spaces can hinder generalization capability, and the scalability of quantum kernels…
We introduce a Bayesian method for the estimation of single qubit errors in quantum devices, and use it to characterize these errors on three 27-qubit superconducting qubit devices. We self-consistently estimate up to seven parameters of…
Carrier transition is one of the major factors hindering the high-speed implementation of the M{\o}lmer-S{\o}rensen gates in trapped-ion quantum processors. We present an approach to design laser pulse shapes for the M{\o}lmer-S{\o}rensen…
Ion-trap quantum computers offer a large number of possible qubit couplings, each of which requires individual calibration and can be misconfigured. To enhance the duty cycle of an ion trap, we develop a strategy that diagnoses individual…
Realistic fault-tolerant quantum computing at reasonable overhead requires two-qubit gates with the highest possible fidelity. Typically, an infidelity of $\lesssim 10^{-4}$ is recommended in the literature. Focusing on the phase-sensitive…
Trapped ions are a promising technology for building scalable quantum computers. Not only can they provide a high qubit quality, but they also enable modular architectures, referred to as Quantum Charge Coupled Device (QCCD) architecture.…
Ion trap is one of the most promising candidates for quantum computing. Current schemes mainly focus on a linear chain of up to about one hundred ions in a Paul trap. To further scale up the qubit number, one possible direction is to use 2D…
High quality, fully-programmable quantum processors are available with small numbers (<1000) of qubits, and the scientific potential of these near term machines is not well understood. If the small number of physical qubits precludes…
The performance of a quantum information processor depends on the precise control of phases introduced into the system during quantum gate operations. As the number of operations increases with the complexity of a computation, the phases of…
Experiments with trapped ions and neutral atoms typically employ optical modulators in order to control the phase, frequency, and amplitude of light directed to individual atoms. These elements are expensive, bulky, consume substantial…
We demonstrate complete characterization of a two-qubit entangling process - a linear optics controlled-NOT gate operating with coincident detection - by quantum process tomography. We use maximum-likelihood estimation to convert the…
