  2. Experimental Setup Important energy levels • The important energy levels are shown on the next slides; a fast transition is used to detect ion fluorescence and for Doppler cooling, while the narrow D5/2 quadrupole transition has a lifetime of 1 second and is used for coherent manipulation and represents out quantum bit. Of course a specific set of Zeeman states is used to actually implement our qubit. The presence of P 1/2 other sublevels give us additional possibilities for doing D 5/2 coherent operations. „quantum bit“ S 1/2 2

  6. External degree of freedom: ion motion External degree of freedom: ion motion Notes for next slides: Now let's have a look at the qubit transition in the presence of the harmonic trap motional degrees of freedom. If we focus on just one motional ... … mode , we just get a ladder of harmonic oscillator levels. The joint (motion + electronic energy level) system shows a double ladder structure. With the narrow laser we can selectively excite the carrier transition, where the motional state remains unchanged... Or use the blue sideband and red sideband transitions, where we can change the motional state. We can walk down the double ladder by exciting the red sideband and returning the ion dissipatively to the grounsstate. With this we can prepare the ions in the motional ground state with high probability, thereby initializing our quantum register. 6

  8. Coherent manipulation Coherent manipulation Let's now begin to look at the coherent state manipulation. If we resonantly shine the light pulse at the carrier transition, the system evolves for a time τ 2-level-atom harmonic trap joint energy levels with this Hamiltonian, where the coupling strength Ω depends on the ... … square root of the intensity, and φ is the phase of the laser field with respect to the atomic polarization. The effect of such a pulse is a rotation of the state vector on the Bloch sphere, where the poles represent the two states and the equator represents superposition states with different relative phases. The roation axis is determined by the laser frequency and phase. The important Interaction with a resonant laser beam : message is here that we can position the state vector anywhere on the Ω : Rabi frequency Bloch sphere, which is a way of saying that we can create arbitrary φ : phase of laser field superposition states. Laser beam switched on for duration τ : The same game works for sideband pulses. With a π /2 pulse, for example, we entangle the internal and the motional state! Since the motional state is θ : rotation angle shared by all ions, we can use the motional state as a kind of bus to mediate entanglement between different qubits in the ion chain. If we resonantly shine in light pulse at the carrier transition, the system evolves for a time tau with this Hamiltonian, where the coupling strength Omega depends on the sqroot of the intensity, and phi is the phase of the laser field with respect to the atomic polarization. 8
