The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

Electric-field noise near surfaces is a common problem in diverse areas of physics and a
limiting factor for many precision measurements. There are multiple mechanisms by which …

The availability of a universal quantum computer may have a fundamental impact on a vast
number of research fields and on society as a whole. An increasingly large scientific and …

Trapped ions are a promising tool for building a large-scale quantum computer. However,
the number of required radiation fields for the realization of quantum gates in any proposed …

Constructing a large-scale ion trap quantum processor will require entangling gate
operations that are robust in the presence of noise and experimental imperfection. We …

We present a new method of spin-motion coupling for trapped ions using microwaves and a
magnetic field gradient oscillating close to the ions' motional frequency. We demonstrate …

In recent decades there has been a rapid development of methods to experimentally control
individual quantum systems. A broad range of quantum control methods has been …

The trapped-ion system has been a leading platform for practical quantum computation and
quantum simulation since the first scheme of a quantum gate was proposed by Cirac and …

Recent studies using the quantum information theoretic approach to thermodynamics show
that the presence of coherence in quantum systems generates corrections to classical …

Trapped ion technology has seen advances in performance, robustness and versatility over
the last decade. With increasing numbers of trapped ion groups worldwide, a myriad of trap …
