Quantum coherence is one of the clearest departures from classical physics, exhibited when a system is in a superposition of different basis states. Here the coherent superposition of three motional Fock states of a single trapped ion is experimentally certified, with a procedure provably robust against imperfect operation. As the motional state cannot be directly interrogated, our scheme uses an interference pattern generated by projective measurement of the coupled qubit state. The minimum number of coherently superposed states is inferred from a series of threshold values based on analysis of the interference pattern. This demonstrates that high-level coherence can be verified and investigated with simple, nonideal control methods well-suited to noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.

A global race towards developing a gate-based, universal quantum computer that one day promises to unlock the never before seen computational power has begun and the biggest challenge in achieving this goal arguably is the quality implementation of a
two-qubit gate. In a trapped-ion quantum computer, one of the leading quantum computational platforms, a two-qubit gate is typically implemented by modulating the individual addressing beams that illuminate the two target ions, which, together with others, form a linear chain. The required modulation, expectedly so, becomes increasingly more complex, especially as the quantum computer becomes larger and runs faster, complicating the control hardware design. Here, we develop a simple method to essentially remove the pulse-modulation complexity at the cost of engineering the normal modes of the ion chain. We demonstrate that the required mode engineering is possible for a three ion chain, even with a trapped-ion quantum computational system built and optimized for a completely different mode of operations. This indicates that a system, if manufactured to target specifically for the mode-engineering based two-qubit gates, would readily be able to implement the gates without significant additional effort.
We demonstrate sympathetic cooling of a 43Ca+ trapped-ion memory qubit by a 40Ca+ coolant ion near the ground state of both axial motional modes, whilst maintaining coherence of the qubit. This is an essential ingredient in trapped-ion quantum comput
ers. The isotope shifts are sufficient to suppress decoherence and phase shifts of the memory qubit due to the cooling light which illuminates both ions. We measure the qubit coherence during 10 cycles of sideband cooling, finding a coherence loss of 3.3% per cooling cycle. The natural limit of the method is O(0.01%) infidelity per cooling cycle.
We present a nonlinear decoherence model which models decoherence effect caused by various decohereing sources in a quantum system through a nonlinear coupling between the system and its environment, and apply it to investigating decoherence in noncl
assical motional states of a single trapped ion. We obtain an exactly analytic solution of the model and find very good agreement with experimental results for the population decay rate of a single trapped ion observed in the NIST experiments by Meekhof and coworkers (D. M. Meekhof, {it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 76}, 1796 (1996)).
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 and characterize this coupling experimentally using a single ion in a sur
face-electrode trap that incorporates current-carrying electrodes to generate the microwave field and the oscillating magnetic field gradient. Using this method, we perform resolved-sideband cooling of a single motional mode to its ground state.
We propose a new dark-state cooling method of trapped ion systems in the Lamb-Dicke limit. With application of microwave dressing the ion, we can obtain two electromagnetically induced transparency structures. The heating effects caused by the carrie
r and the blue sideband transition vanish due to the EIT effects and the final mean phonon numbers can be much less than the recoil limit. Our scheme is robust to fluctuations of microwave power and laser intensities which provides a broad cooling bandwidth to cool motional modes of a linear ion chain. Moreover, it is more suitable to cool four-level ions on a large-scale ion chip.
