  • Patent number: 12640355
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide ion traps or systems comprising ion traps that comprise a trapping portion and a radio frequency (RF) border electrode bounding the trapping portion. The RF border electrode comprises or is in electrical communication with a plurality of feed ports. In an example embodiment, the ion trap comprises a plurality of unit cells each comprising a respective trapping portion, a respective RF border electrode bounding the respective trapping portion, and a respective feed port of the plurality of feed ports.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11861456
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide for instruction compilation for at least one time slice in a one-dimensional quantum computing environment. In this regard, embodiments generate an algorithm swap command set by performing an even-odd transposition sort based on at least an initial qubit position set and a target qubit position set for one or more time slices. The algorithm swap command set may correspond to a qubit manipulation instruction set which can be used to generate a hardware instruction set that, upon execution, efficiently repositions any number of qubits to the target positions for gating.
