• Abstract summary: Entangling gates in trapped-ion quantum computing have primarily targeted stationary ions with initial motional distributions that are thermal and close to the ground state. Future systems will likely incur significant non-thermal excitation due to, e.g., ion transport, longer operational times, and increased spatial extent of the trap array. We analyze the impact of such coherent motional excitation on entangling-gate error by performing simulations of Molmer-Sorenson gates on a pair of trapped-ion qubits with both thermal and coherent excitation present in a shared motional mode at the start of the gate.

• Abstract: Entangling gates in trapped-ion quantum computing have primarily targeted stationary ions with initial motional distributions that are thermal and close to the ground state. However, future systems will likely incur significant non-thermal excitation due to, e.g., ion transport, longer operational times, and increased spatial extent of the trap array. In this paper, we analyze the impact of such coherent motional excitation on entangling-gate error by performing simulations of Molmer-Sorenson (MS) gates on a pair of trapped-ion qubits with both thermal and coherent excitation present in a shared motional mode at the start of the gate. We discover that a small amount of coherent displacement dramatically erodes gate performance in the presence of experimental noise, and we demonstrate that applying only limited control over the phase of the displacement can suppress this error. We then use experimental data from transported ions to analyze the impact of coherent displacement on MS-gate error under realistic conditions.

We show that the dynamics of physical quantities can reflect such a phase transition for this model.

  We derive analytic formulae that determine the effect of error mechanisms on one- and two-qubit gates in trapped ions and electrons. First, we analyze, and derive expressions for, the effect of driving field inhomogeneities on one-qubit gate fidelities. Second, we derive expressions for two-qubit gate errors, including static motional frequency shifts, trap anharmonicities, heating, and motional dephasing.
