Seminar

Quantum Information Processing and Quantum-Limited Metrology with Trapped Ions

David Wineland, CNLS 2011 Distinguished Quantum Lecturer
National Institute of Standards and Technology

Trapped atomic ions have been a useful system in which to study the elements of quantum information processing (QIP). The basic features of the DiVincenzo criteria have been demonstrated along with simple algorithms. Straightforward approaches to realize scalability and fault-tolerant fidelity are being pursued; however, achieving these goals will be technically very challenging. In the nearer term, simple elements of QIP are already being applied to metrology, and soon it should be possible to perform useful quantum simulations.
