• Abstract summary: We implement a closed-loop optimization of the voltage waveforms that control the trajectory and axial frequency of an ion during transport. The resulting waveforms realize fast round-trip transport of a trapped ion across multiple electrodes at speeds of $0.5$ electrodes/$mu$s ($35 textm/s$) with a maximum of $0.36pm0.08$ quanta gain.

• Abstract: Shuttling ions at high speed and with low motional excitation is essential for realizing fast and high-fidelity algorithms in many trapped-ion based quantum computing architectures. Achieving such performance is challenging due to the sensitivity of an ion to electric fields and the unknown and imperfect environmental and control variables that create them. Here we implement a closed-loop optimization of the voltage waveforms that control the trajectory and axial frequency of an ion during transport in order to minimize the final motional excitation. The resulting waveforms realize fast round-trip transport of a trapped ion across multiple electrodes at speeds of $0.5$ electrodes/$\mu$s ($35 \text{m/s}$) with a maximum of $0.36\pm0.08$ quanta gain. This sub-quanta gain is independent of the phase of the secular motion at the distal location, obviating the need for an electric field impulse or time delay to eliminate the coherent motion

  This paper proposes a novel robust quantum control optimization method in trapped ions. By introducing the higher-order terms caused by the error into the optimization cost function, we generated an extremely robust Molmer-Sorensen gate. Our work reveals the vital role of higher-order coupling terms in trapped ion pulse control optimization, especially the higher ion-ion coupling order.

As a by-product of the technique, the electromagnetic properties of the levitated objects can also be measured on an individual basis.

  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.

• Robust dynamical exchange cooling with trapped ions [0.0]
  We investigate theoretically the possibility for robust and fast cooling of a trapped atomic ion by transient interaction with a pre-cooled ion. The transient coupling is achieved through dynamical control of the ions' equilibrium positions. For settings appropriate to a currently operational trap in our laboratory, we find that robust performance could be achieved down to $6.3$ motional cycles.
