Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to quantum computing structures, in particular to use of ion traps in quantum computing.
  • Quantum computers rely on quantum bits (or qubits), which is a very fragile two-level quantum system. Qubits enable the use of quantum superposition and multi state entanglement in QC calculations. This allows for a QC to simultaneously calculate millions of computations at once. Entanglement lets a QC change the state of multiple qubits simultaneously via adjusting the state stored in a single bit, enabling computational power scalability unachievable with traditional computers.
  • a qubit state degrades rapidly due to the interaction with environmental degrees of freedom and added control channels.
  • resonators that can reduce the rate and/or degree of degradation of the qubit states.
  • Josephson junctions can be used, which may be located inside such a resonator.

  • Quantum computing is a developing field of technology for storing and reading information.
  • Quantum bits unlike classical or traditional bits, do not necessarily need to be binary (on or off) but may exhibit information representing a wide range of information.
  • the information stored as qubits, or quantum bits, can be useful, but currently there exist challenges related to the readability of the information from the qubits amid the noise associated with quantum phenomena.
  • quantum computers are not limited to two states,“0” and“1”. They encode information as quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in superposition. This superposition of qubits is what gives quantum computers their inherent parallelism. The parallelism allows a quantum computer to work on a million computations at once, while your desktop PC works on one. However, when the state of the qubit is measured directly, it becomes defined to a single value“0” or“1”, thus losing the advantage of parallelism. [0016] To make a practical quantum computer, the measurements have to be done indirectly to preserve the system's integrity.
  • the ions are cooled below the limit given by vibrational frequency in the trap (Lamb Dicke regime), which is accomplished using Doppler and Sideband cooling.

As the density increases, ions form, first, a 1-D chain, then 2-D zig-zag and, then, 3-D crystal. Ions in a crystal interact with phonons transversely while the motion is“frozen” in azimuthal direction.
  • Doppler laser cooling is realized by two counterpropagating UV beams. Scanning the light frequency one can either probe or cool the ion beam while recording fluorescence with a photomultiplier in a photon counting mode.
