• Abstract: We propose a new method for generating programmable interactions in one- and two-dimensional trapped-ion quantum simulators. Here we consider the use of optical tweezers to engineer the sound-wave spectrum of trapped ion crystals. We show that this approach allows us to tune the interactions and connectivity of the ion qubits beyond the power-law interactions accessible in current setups. We demonstrate the experimental feasibility of our proposal using realistic tweezer settings and experimentally relevant trap parameters to generate the optimal tweezer patterns to create target spin-spin interaction patterns in both one- and two-dimensional crystals. Our approach will advance quantum simulation in trapped-ion platforms as it allows them to realize a broader family of quantum spin Hamiltonians.

  Trapped atomic ion qubits are a powerful quantum platform for quantum computation and simulation. We formulate and analyze a mechanism that extends the standard Molmer-Sorensen pairwise entangling gate. We show that spin-dependent optical forces applied at twice the motional frequency generate a coordinate-transformation of the collective ion motion in phase-space.
