multiplexed trap architecture
similar to Cirac/Zoller, but:
one basic unit
interconnected multi-trap structure
subtraps decoupled
guiding ions by electrode voltages
processor sympathetically cooled
only three normal modes to cool
no ground state cooling in memory
no individual optical addressing
during two-qubit gates
gates in tight trap

Theoretically proposed
by Bennett and Wiesner (PRL 69, 2881 (1992))
Experimentally realized for ‘trits’ with photons
by Mattle, Weinfurter, Kwiat and Zeilinger (PRL 76, 4656 (1996))
only two Bell states identifiable, other two are indistinguishable ( trit instead of bit)
non deterministic (30 photon pairs for one trit)
(but: photons light and fast)

Enhanced detection by QIP

detection as
bottleneck?
output of an algorithm (e.g. Shor’s)
yout =b0 |000…0> + b1 |000…1> + … + b2
(N-1)
|111…1>
measurement
projection in one of the 2N eigenstates with probability |bk|2
one qubit read out Fdet < 1
e.g. Fdet = 0.70 and N = 20
e.g. Fdet = 0.99 and N = 20
state read out FNdet
FNdet < 0.0008
FNdet = 0.82
measurement not only after an algorithm
scalable QC needs error correction measurement as part of the algorithm
Enhance detection – how?
statistical precision by repetition
(run algorithm many times)
for Fdet<< 1 FN shrinks exp.
statistical precision by reproduction
(copy primary qubit many times)
statistical precision by amplification
(QIP on primary qubit and ancillae)
for Fdet ~ 1 still bad if
tdet << talgorithm

Error correction basics
• Encode a logical qubit state into a larger number of physical qubits
(here 1 logical qubit in (3 – large?) physical qubits)
• Make sure that your logical operations leave the state in one part of the total
Hilbert space while your most common errors leave that part
• Construct measurements that allow to distinguish the type of error that
happened
• Do those measurements and correct the logical state according to their
outcome
classical strategy: redundancy by repetition (0 00…0, 111…1 and majority)
quantum analog: repetition code
(see e.g. Nielsen and Chuang)

separation and transfer of qubits between traps
maintaining entanglement
individual addressing (in tight confinement)
single and two qubit gates
use of DFS (Decoherence Free Subspace)
use of ancilla qubits (trigger conditional operations)
pushing QIP fidelities principally towards fault tolerance
non-local operations / teleportation (including “warm gate”)
step towards fault tolerance ( 3 qubit error correction)
(sympathetic cooling)
It is not over, just a start… (fault tolerance)
I.
incorporate all building blocks with sympathetic cooling in one setup
more complicated algorithms
II.
reach operation fidelity of > 99.99%, incorporate error correction
reduce main sources of error (e. g. beam intensity) ,
demonstrate error correction and make it routine tool
III.
build larger trap arrays
test new traps using reliable ways of “mass fabrication”,
(lithography, etching, etc.)
IV. “scale” electronics and optics to be able to operate in larger arrays
incorporate microfabricated electronics and optics
(multiplexers, DACs, MEMS mirrors ect.)
New Trap Technology
Approaches to the necessary
scale-up for trap arrays…
Back to the Future:
Boron-Doped Silicon
almost arbitrary geometries
very small precise features
atomically smooth mono-crystaline
surfaces
incorporate active and passive
electronics right on board
filters, multiplexers, switches,
detectors
incorporate optics
MEMS mirrors, fiberports…
