Encoding logical qubits in bosonic modes provides a potentially hardware-efficient implementation of fault-tolerant quantum information processing. Here, we demonstrate high-fidelity and deterministic preparation highly nonclassical states the mechanical motion trapped ion. Our approach implements error-suppressing pulses through optimized dynamical modulation laser-driven spin-motion interactions to generate target state single step. We fidelities for Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill as high...
Analog quantum computers can calculate molecular vibronic spectra using time-domain simulation, with exponentially greater scalability than previous, frequency-domain approaches. An accurate, trapped-ion simulation of SO 2 validates the approach.
In this paper, direct observation of micromotion for multiple ions in a laser-cooled trapped ion crystal is discussed along with measurement technique amplitude. Micromotion directly observed using time-resolving, single-photon-sensitive camera that provides both fluorescence and position data each on the nanosecond time scale. amplitude phase are measured, allowing method to be sensitive tilts shifts chain from null radio-frequency quadrupole potential linear trap.

Spectroscopy is one of the most accurate probes molecular world. However, predicting spectra accurately computationally difficult because presence entanglement between electronic and nuclear degrees freedom. Although quantum computers promise to reduce this computational cost, existing approaches rely on combining signals from individual eigenstates, an approach whose cost grows exponentially with molecule size. Here, we introduce a method for scalable analog simulation spectroscopy: by...
Conical intersections are ubiquitous in chemistry and physics, often governing processes such as light harvesting, vision, photocatalysis, chemical reactivity. They act funnels between electronic states of molecules, allowing rapid efficient relaxation during dynamics. In addition, when a reaction path encircles conical intersection, the molecular wavefunction experiences geometric phase, which can affect outcome through quantum-mechanical interference. Past experiments have measured...

Simulating chemistry is likely to be among the earliest applications of quantum computing. However, existing digital algorithms for chemical simulation require many logical qubits and gates, placing practical beyond technology. Here, we use an analog approach carry out first simulations reactions. In particular, simulate photoinduced non-adiabatic dynamics, one most challenging classes problems in because they involve strong coupling entanglement between electronic nuclear motions. We a...
The realisation of a universal quantum computer at scale promises to deliver paradigm shift in information processing, providing the capability solve problems that are intractable with conventional computers. A key limiting factor realising fault-tolerant processing (QIP) is large ratio physical-to-logical qubits outstrip device sizes available near future. An alternative approach proposed by Gottesman, Kitaev, and Preskill (GKP) encodes single logical qubit into harmonic oscillator,...
Precision metrology underpins scientific and technological advancements. Quantum offers a pathway to surpass classical sensing limits by leveraging quantum states measurement strategies. However, measuring multiple incompatible observables suffers from backaction, where of one observable pollutes subsequent the other. This is manifestation Heisenberg's uncertainty principle for two non-commuting observables, such as position momentum. Here, we demonstrate measurements small changes in...
Interactions of molecules with their environment influence the course and outcome almost all chemical reactions. However, classical computers struggle to accurately simulate complicated molecule-environment interactions because steep growth computational resources both molecule size complexity. Therefore, many quantum-chemical simulations are restricted isolated molecules, whose dynamics can dramatically differ from what happens in an environment. Here, we show that analog quantum simulators...
We review our recent results in which we use trapped ions to observe geometric phase interference around a conical intersection [arXiv:2211.07320, 2022]. This is key demonstration towards using mixed-qubit boson simulators solve difficult chemical dynamics problems.
