FM 25: Plenary Talk: Ion Trap based Quantum Computing

FM 25.1: Plenary Talk

Tuesday, September 24, 2019, 08:30–09:30, Audi Max

Scalable quantum computing with trapped ion qubits — •Ferdinand Schmidt-Kaler — QUANTUM, Institut für Physik, Universität Mainz

I describe the approach of trapped ion qubits [1] for scalable quantum computing. This includes a discussion of different architectures [2], the required trap technologies and fabrication methods, control electronics for quantum register reconfigurations, and recent improvements of qubit coherence and gate performance. Using a segmented micro-ion trap for implementing a reconfigurable qubit register [3] we have realized multi-qubit entanglement [4]. Topological quantum error correction [5] is a current aim. I conclude with current challenges and an overall assessment of this platform for a future quantum computer.
