QUANTUM COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE BASED ON MULTI-QUBIT GATES

摘要

The disclosure describes various aspects of a practical implementation of multi-qubit gate architecture. A method is described that includes enabling ions in the ion trap having three energy levels, enabling a low-heating rate motional mode (e.g., zig-zag mode) at a ground state of motion with the ions in the ion trap; and performing a Cirac and Zoller (CZ) protocol using the low-heating rate motional mode as a motional state of the CZ protocol and one of the energy levels as an auxiliary state of the CZ protocol, where performing the CZ protocol includes implementing the multi-qubit gate. The method also includes performing one or more algorithms using the multi-qubit gate, including Grover's algorithm, Shor's factoring algorithm, quantum approximation optimization algorithm (QAOA), error correction algorithms, and quantum and Hamiltonian simulations. A corresponding system that supports the implementation of a multi-qubit gate architecture is also described.
