MULTI-QUBIT CONTROL WITH ACOUSTO-OPTIC MODULATORS

Aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for controlling quantum states of ions in an ion chain for a quantum operation. For example, a method is described that includes providing, from a first direction, a global optical beam to the ions in the ion chain, and providing, from a second d...

Zusammenfassung:	Aspects of the present disclosure describe techniques for controlling quantum states of ions in an ion chain for a quantum operation. For example, a method is described that includes providing, from a first direction, a global optical beam to the ions in the ion chain, and providing, from a second direction different from the first direction, to each ion in a subset of the ions in the ion chain, a respective addressing optical beam. The method further includes dynamically controlling each of the addressing optical beams being provided by using a respective channel in a multi-channel acousto-optic modulator (AOM) to implement, with the ion chain, one or more quantum gates in a sequence of quantum gates of the quantum operation. Aspects of a quantum information processing (QIP) system that includes the multi-channel AOM for performing the method are also described.
