Ytterbium ion trap quantum computing: The current state-of-the-art

ORAL

Abstract

We present an overview of contemporary quantum computing with ytterbium ion traps, placing the emphasis on industry implementations. We provide brief, concrete descriptions of various key features, such as trap loading, electronic structure, qubit function, gates, error analysis, and benchmarking. We focus on the underlying science and current technologies to provide readers with a holistic picture of available techniques for using ytterbium in contemporary ion trap designs.

*This work was conducted at the Ames Laboratory for the U.S. DOE with Iowa State University under Contract No. DEAC02–07CH11358. We are grateful to Daniel Stick at Sandia National Laboratory for discussions on microfabricated ion traps.
