Characterizing the Coherence of Trapped Ion Qubits in the Software-Tailored Architecture for Quantum co-design (STAQ) Hardware

POSTER

Abstract

The goal of STAQ is to build a vertical stack for quantum computing composed of applications, software, and hardware integrated together. Our team focuses on the hardware implementation, which consists of building a trapped ion quantum computer large enough to perform calculations of practical use. The system itself utilizes a Sandia high-optical access trap placed in a mechanically stable cryostat. This presentation will provide updates on the quality of our $^{171}$Yb+ qubits, including the T2 coherence time.
