Quantum Control and Quantum Error Correction in Trapped Ion Quantum Computers

ORAL  · Invited

Abstract

Hyperfine trapped ion qubits are nearly ideal qubits. The qubit performance is primarily limited by the quality of the gates due to imperfections in the experimental control fields. I will present our work on characterizing and minimizing these imperfections using quantum control with an emphasis on two-qubit gates and quantum circuit designs. I will then discuss how these control methods improve the performance of quantum error correction protocols.
