• Authors: Zain Mehdi, Alexander K. Ratcliffe, and Joseph J. Hope
• Abstract summary: We present a model for implementing fast entangling gates with ultra-fast pulses in arbitrarily long ion chains. We find that achievable gate fidelity is independent of the number of ions in the chain. We find that population transfer efficiencies of above $99.9%$ from individual ultra-fast pulses is the threshold for realising high-fidelity gates.

• Abstract: We present a model for implementing fast entangling gates (${\sim}1~\mu$s) with ultra-fast pulses in arbitrarily long ion chains, that requires low numbers of pulses and can be implemented with laser repetition rates well within experimental capability. We demonstrate that we are able to optimise pulse sequences that have theoretical fidelities above $99.99\%$ in arbitrarily long ion-chains, for laser repetition rates on the order of $100-300$~MHz. Notably, we find higher repetition rates are not required for gates in longer ion chains, which is in contrast to scaling analyses with other gate schemes. When pulse imperfections are considered in our calculations, we find that achievable gate fidelity is independent of the number of ions in the chain. We also show that pulse control requirements do not scale up with the number of ions. We find that population transfer efficiencies of above $99.9\%$ from individual ultra-fast pulses is the threshold for realising high-fidelity gates, which may be achievable in near-future experiments.

  We present a quantum optimal control framework for implementing fast entangling gates on ion-trap quantum processors. The framework leverages tailored laser pulses to drive the multiple vibrational sidebands of the ions to create phonon-mediated entangling gates. Our approach represents a step in speeding up quantum gates to achieve larger quantum circuits for quantum computation and simulation.

It holds the potential for fast gate speeds (gate times on the order of $100mu$s) by using two axial motional modes of a two-ion crystal.

  We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes. We demonstrate it experimentally by simultaneously bringing two motional modes of a Be$+$-Ar$13+$ mixed Coulomb crystal close to their zero-point energies. We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.

  In homogeneous chains it implies that taking information from one extreme of the chain to the other will take a time $O(N/2)$, where $N$ is the chain length. We design control pulses that achieve near perfect population transfer between the extremes of the chain at times on the order of $N/2$, or larger.
