Abstract:
Trapped ion quantum computing features advantages such as good gate fidelities, all-to-all qubit connectivity and the ability to operate in room temperature over other quantum computing platforms. Conventionally, trapped ion quantum computers are built in a laser lab environment, where the hardware setup takes up a large space – typically spanning one or multiple optical tables, which one may argue is one of the downsides of the trapped ion platform. In this work, we engineer a compact and modular trapped ion quantum computer setup that is rack-mountable to a standard 19-inch rack. This makes the size of the quantum machine compatible with high-performance computing (HPC) facilities. In this talk, I will present the features and the engineering work of our quantum machine. In addition, I will also present a preliminary study of a new method for improving quantum measurement performance with barium ions, which eliminates the noise from background scattering of lasers.
