• Abstract summary: We consider the implementation of quantum logic gates in trapped ions using tightly focused optical tweezers. Strong polarization gradients near the tweezer focus lead to qubit-state dependent forces on the ion. We show that these may be used to implement quantum logic gates on pairs of ion qubits in a crystal.

• Abstract: We consider the implementation of quantum logic gates in trapped ions using tightly focused optical tweezers. Strong polarization gradients near the tweezer focus lead to qubit-state dependent forces on the ion. We show that these may be used to implement quantum logic gates on pairs of ion qubits in a crystal. The qubit-state dependent forces generated by this effect live on the plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the laser beams opening new ways of coupling to motional modes of an ion crystal. The proposed gate does not require ground state cooling of the ions and does not rely on the Lamb-Dicke approximation, although the waist of the tightly focused beam needs to be comparable with its wavelength in order to achieve the needed field curvature. Furthermore, the gate can be performed on both ground state and magnetic field insensitive clock state qubits without the need for counter-propagating laser fields. This simplifies the setup and eliminates errors due to phase instabilities between the gate laser beams. Finally, we show that imperfections in the gate execution, in particular pointing errors $<30$ nm in the tweezers reduce the gate fidelity from $\mathcal F\gtrsim 0.99998$ to $\gtrsim 0.999$.

  Laser-driven entangling operations for trapped-ion qubits have hitherto been performed without control of the optical phase of the light field. We suppress the carrier coupling by a factor of $18$, while coherently enhancing the spin-motion coupling. We demonstrate that the off-resonant carrier coupling imposes a speed limit for conventional traveling-wave Molmer-Sorensen gates.

  A leading source of decoherence in laser-based multiqubit operations on trapped ions is off-resonant spontaneous emission. We examine theoretically the impacts of spontaneous emission on quantum gates performed with trapped ions in a high magnetic field. We show that both gates can have similar performance at their optimal operating conditions.

  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.

  The fidelity of quantum gate operations can be limited by weak confinement of the atoms transverse to the laser. We present measurements of this effect by performing individually entangling gates in chains of up to 25 trapped atomic ions. We propose to suppress these effects through the use of ancilla ions interspersed in the chain to sympathetically cool the qubit ions throughout a quantum circuit.
