Quantum Control for Trapped Ion
Explore quantum control techniques for trapped ions in this 33-minute conference talk by Kenneth Brown from Duke University. Delve into the relationship between Hamiltonians and gates, and learn how gates are constructed from Hamiltonians. Examine the intricacies of controlling trapped ions, including specific operations used at Duke University. Investigate control errors and their mitigation through composite pulse sequences, with a focus on systematic errors like overrotation. Analyze the parity-controlled Z rotation experiment, comparing results to randomized compiling. Study the Mølmer-Sørensen gate and frequency-modulated gates, and discuss robust sequences for addressing noise beyond static conditions. Conclude by considering the limitations of these techniques due to power constraints.
