Quantum coherence fundamentally limits quantum computer and memory performance. While trapped atomic ions theoretically support million-year coherence based on spontaneous emission, experimental demonstrations have fallen orders of magnitude short. This gap raises whether we... -

Continuous-variable–discrete-variable (CV–DV) quantum simulators offer a natural route to simulating bosonic dynamics relevant to many branches of physics and chemistry. However, programmable simulation of arbitrary dynamics is an outstanding challenge. In particular, simulating anharmonic dynamics, which is ubiquitous... -

We begin by discussing our experimental study of nonlinear mechanical oscillations in trapped ions. Specifically, we demonstrate the tunability of the Duffing nonlinearity of the ion oscillator, allowing it to transition from the softening to the hardening regime. Furthermore, when the ion... -
