Abstract:
Cold trapped ions are well isolated from the environment and can
be coherently manipulated by laser light. This makes them a useful system
for building a quantum computer on which one can test quantum algorithms
and simulations.
In the first part of my talk, I will introduce trapped ions as a quantum
system and discuss their application for quantum information processing.
Then I will
present some of our recently realised algorithms, in
particular, the generation of GHZ states of up to 14 ion qubits, and the
realization of open-system and digital quantum simulations.
In the second part of my talk I will describe a novel approach that will
combine two technologies for quantum systems: trapped ions and Rydberg
atoms. This idea promises to join the advanced quantum control of trapped
ions with the strong dipolar interaction between Rydberg atoms. This
approach will form a novel quantum system with advantages from both sides.
In particular, it promises to speed up entangling interactions and to make
such operations possible in larger ion crystals.
