• Abstract summary: We report the stable trapping of above 200 ions in a cryogenic setup, and demonstrate the combination of the multi-qubit capacity and long storage lifetime. We compare the performance of the quantum memory with and without the sympathetic cooling laser, thus unambiguously show the necessity of sympathetic cooling for the long-time storage of multiple ionic qubits.

• Abstract: Storage lifetime and capacity are two important factors to characterize the performance of a quantum memory. Here we report the stable trapping of above 200 ions in a cryogenic setup, and demonstrate the combination of the multi-qubit capacity and long storage lifetime by measuring the coherence time of randomly chosen ions to be on the order of hundreds of milliseconds. We apply composite microwave pulses to manipulate qubit states globally for efficient characterization of different storage units simultaneously, and we compare the performance of the quantum memory with and without the sympathetic cooling laser, thus unambiguously show the necessity of sympathetic cooling for the long-time storage of multiple ionic qubits.

  We study a model of amplification of quantum transfer and making it directed which we call the quantum ratchet model.

Amplitude and frequency of the oscillating vibron together with the dephasing rate are the parameters of the quantum ratchet which determine its efficiency.

  We investigate a quantum system simultaneously exposed to two structured reservoirs. We employ a numerically exact quasi-2D tensor network combining both diagonal and off-diagonal system-reservoir interactions with a twofold memory for continuous and discrete retardation effects. As a possible example, we study the non-Markovian interplay between discrete photonic feedback and structured acoustic phononovian modes, resulting in emerging inter-reservoir correlations and long-living population trapping within an initially-excited two-level system.
