The availability of a universal quantum computer will have fundamental impact on a vast number of research fields and society as a whole. An increasingly large scientific and industrial community is working towards the realization of such a device. A n arbitrarily large quantum computer is best constructed using a modular approach. We present a blueprint for a trapped-ion based scalable quantum computer module which makes it possible to create a scalable quantum computer architecture based on long-wavelength radiation quantum gates. The modules control all operations as stand-alone units, are constructed using silicon microfabrication techniques and they are within reach of current technology. To perform the required quantum computations, the modules make use of long-wavelength-radiation based quantum gate technology. To scale this microwave quantum computer architecture to an arbitrary size we present a fully scalable design that makes use of ion transport between different modules, thereby allowing arbitrarily many modules to be connected to construct a large-scale device. A high-error-threshold surface error correction code can be implemented in the proposed architecture to execute fault-tolerant operations. With only minor adjustments the proposed modules are also suitable for alternative trapped-ion quantum computer architectures, such as schemes using photonic interconnects.
The trapped-ion QCCD (quantum charge-coupled device) architecture proposal lays out a blueprint for a universal quantum computer. The design begins with electrodes patterned on a two-dimensional surface configured to trap multiple arrays of ions (or ion crystals). Communication within the ion crystal network allows for the machine to be scaled while keeping the number of ions in each crystal to a small number, thereby preserving the low error rates demonstrated in trapped-ion experiments. By proposing to communicate quantum information by moving the ions through space to interact with other distant ions, the architecture creates a quantum computer endowed with full-connectivity. However, engineering this fully-connected computer introduces a host of difficulties that have precluded the architecture from being fully realized in the twenty years since its proposal. Using a Honeywell cryogenic surface trap, we report on the integration of all necessary ingredients of the QCCD architecture into a programmable trapped-ion quantum computer. Using four and six qubit circuits, the system level performance of the processor is quantified by the fidelity of a teleported CNOT gate utilizing mid-circuit measurement and a quantum volume measurement of $2^6=64$. By demonstrating that the low error rates achievable in small ion crystals can be successfully integrated with a scalable trap design, parallel optical delivery, and fast ion transport, the QCCD architecture is shown to be a viable path toward large quantum computers. Atomic ions provide perfectly identical, high-fidelity qubits. Our work shows that the QCCD architecture built around these qubits will provide high performance quantum computers, likely enabling important near-term demonstrations such as quantum error correction and quantum advantage.
Quantum computers have the potential to efficiently simulate the dynamics of many interacting quantum particles, a classically intractable task of central importance to fields ranging from chemistry to high-energy physics. However, precision and memo ry limitations of existing hardware severely limit the size and complexity of models that can be simulated with conventional methods. Here, we demonstrate and benchmark a new scalable quantum simulation paradigm--holographic quantum dynamics simulation--which uses efficient quantum data compression afforded by quantum tensor networks along with opportunistic mid-circuit measurement and qubit reuse to simulate physical systems that have far more quantum degrees of freedom than can be captured by the available number of qubits. Using a Honeywell trapped ion quantum processor, we simulate the non-integrable (chaotic) dynamics of the self-dual kicked Ising model starting from an entangled state of $32$ spins using at most $9$ trapped ion qubits, obtaining excellent quantitative agreement when benchmarking against dynamics computed directly in the thermodynamic limit via recently developed exact analytical techniques. These results suggest that quantum tensor network methods, together with state-of-the-art quantum processor capabilities, enable a viable path to practical quantum advantage in the near term.
Fault-tolerant quantum error correction (QEC) is crucial for unlocking the true power of quantum computers. QEC codes use multiple physical qubits to encode a logical qubit, which is protected against errors at the physical qubit level. Here we use a trapped ion system to experimentally prepare $m$-qubit GHZ states and sample the measurement results to construct $mtimes m$ logical states of the $[[m^2,1,m]]$ Shor code, up to $m=7$. The synthetic logical fidelity shows how deeper encoding can compensate for additional gate errors in state preparation for larger logical states. However, the optimal code size depends on the physical error rate and we find that $m=5$ has the best performance in our system. We further realize the direct logical encoding of the $[[9,1,3]]$ Shor code on nine qubits in a thirteen-ion chain for comparison, with $98.8(1)%$ and $98.5(1)%$ fidelity for state $leftvertpmrightrangle_L$, respectively.
