Effective spins are represented by appropriate internal energy levels within each ion, can be measured with near-perfect efficiency using state-dependent fluorescence techniques. By applying optical fields that exert dipole forces on ions, their Coulomb interaction modulated to produce long-range tunable spin-spin interactions reconfigured shaping spectrum pattern laser fields,...

Combining experimental and algorithmic advances in quantum simulation improves the investigation of gauge field theories: pair creation is simulated for longer times using less computational resources.
We show the fault-tolerant encoding, measurement, and operation of a logical qubit via quantum error detection.
In recent years, Quantum Computing (QC) has progressed to the point where small working prototypes are available for use. Termed Noisy Intermediate-Scale (NISQ) computers, these too large benchmarks or even Error Correction (QEC), but they do have sufficient resources run benchmarks, particularly if compiled with optimizations make use of scarce qubits and limited operation counts coherence times. QC not yet, however, settled on a particular preferred device implementation technology, indeed...
In an ion trap quantum computer, collective motional modes are used to entangle two or more qubits in order execute multi-qubit logical gates. Any residual entanglement between the internal and states of ions results loss fidelity, especially when there many spectator crystal. We propose using a frequency-modulated (FM) driving force minimize such errors. simulation, we obtained optimized FM two-qubit gate that can suppress errors less than 0.01\% is robust against frequency drifts over...

Our work illustrates extraction nonlinear characteristic using controlled-swap gate acting two copies state. This scalable entanglement universal will, with more qubits, provide insights into many-body that are impossible to simulate classical
Significance Our experiment prepares two types of nontrivial quantum states on a trapped ion computer: the thermofield double state transverse-field Ising model at arbitrary temperature and critical zero-temperature model. We use techniques motivated by approximate optimization algorithm, we implement hybrid quantum–classical loop to prepare state. results pave way for exploring strongly correlated models finite teleportation protocols inspired black hole physics.
Ion trap quantum computers are based on modulating the Coulomb interaction between atomic ion qubits using external forces. However, spectral crowding of collective motional modes could pose a challenge to control such interactions for large numbers qubits. Here, we show that high-fidelity gate operations still possible with very trapped crystals by small and fixed number modes, simplifying scaling computers. We present analytical work shows need not couple motion distant ions, allowing...
Quantum field theories are the cornerstones of modern physics, providing relativistic and quantum mechanical descriptions physical systems at most fundamental level. Simulating real-time dynamics within these remains elusive in classical computing. This provides a unique opportunity for simulators, which hold promise revolutionizing our simulation capabilities.

By leveraging shared entanglement between a pair of qubits, one can teleport quantum state from particle to another. Recent advances have uncovered an intrinsically many-body generalization teleportation, with elegant and surprising connection gravity. In particular, the teleportation information relies on dynamics, which originate strongly-interacting systems that are holographically dual gravity; gravitational perspective, such be understood as transmission through traversable wormhole....
As we approach the era of quantum advantage, when computers (QCs) can outperform any classical computer on particular tasks, there remains difficult challenge how to validate their performance. While algorithmic success be easily verified in some instances such as number factoring or oracular algorithms, these approaches only provide pass/fail information for a single QC. On other hand, comparison between different QCs same arbitrary circuit provides lower-bound generic validation:...
