Abstract: We consider the light potentials induced on an atom by a tightly-focused beam beyond the paraxial approximation. We calculate the light potentials of Gaussian and Laguerre-Gaussian beams driving the quadrupole 2S1/2 -> 2D5/2 transition in 40Ca+. Longitudinal field components in the beam center cause spatially-dependent Rabi frequencies and AC Stark shifts, leading to unexpected qubit-motion coupling. We characterize single-qubit gate infidelities due to this effect with an analytical model and numerical simulation. We highlight parameters that affect the associated error, and find in general the errors are much smaller than typical requirements for fault-tolerant quantum computation.

Thermal masses and trapped-ion quantum spin models: a self-consistent approach to Yukawa-type interactions in the $λ\!φ^4$ model [44.99833362998488]
A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

Quantum Control of Atom-Ion Charge Exchange via Light-induced Conical Intersections [66.33913750180542]
Conical intersections are crossing points or lines between two or more adiabatic electronic potential energy surfaces. We predict significant or measurable non-adiabatic effects in an ultracold atom-ion charge-exchange reaction. In the laser frequency window, where conical interactions are present, the difference in rate coefficients can be as large as $10-9$ cm$3$/s.

One- and two-qubit gate infidelities due to motional errors in trapped ions and electrons [7.6483834331380205]
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.

Crosstalk Suppression for Fault-tolerant Quantum Error Correction with Trapped Ions [62.997667081978825]
We present a study of crosstalk errors in a quantum-computing architecture based on a single string of ions confined by a radio-frequency trap, and manipulated by individually-addressed laser beams. This type of errors affects spectator qubits that, ideally, should remain unaltered during the application of single- and two-qubit quantum gates addressed at a different set of active qubits. We microscopically model crosstalk errors from first principles and present a detailed study showing the importance of using a coherent vs incoherent error modelling and, moreover, discuss strategies to actively suppress this crosstalk at the gate level.

Resilience of the superradiant phase against $\mathbf {A^2}$ effects in the quantum Rabi dimer [0.0]
We study the quantum criticality of a two-site model combining quantum Rabi models with hopping interaction. We find that the model allows the appearance of a superradiant quantum phase transition (QPT) even in the presence of strong $mathbfA2$ terms. Our work provides a way to the study of phase transitions in presence of the $mathbfA2$ terms and offers the prospect of investigating quantum-criticality physics and quantum devices in many-body systems.
